Innovators in 2023 Carbon Removal Landscape

Ivy Protocol

These innovators are creating technology to extract CO2 directly from the atmosphere or prevent its release in the first place. However, it is important to consider potential exceptions to the permanence claim, as the utilization of carbon stores as a power source could result in the release of carbon back into the atmosphere.

Space for all: here are some of the huge commercial opportunities away from Earth

Physics World

In fact, the market is expected to grow from $886m in 2020 to $2.5bn in 2027, according to the firm Marketwatch. Weighing just 260 kg each, they will fly in very-low-Earth orbit at heights of roughly 550 km, which means that atmospheric drag will pull them down within a few years so they don’t end up as yet more space junk.

5 reasons why Enbridge’s proposed Line 5 pipeline tunnel is a dangerous false solution

Enviromental Defense

Recent scientific analysis shows that the tunnel project and pipeline could contribute an additional 27 million metric tons of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere annually, and generate $41 billion in climate damages between 2027 and 2070.

From Dust You Were Made, From Dust You Shall Return: On Human Composting & Upcycling (in some cases)

Acoel

Earlier this year California became the most recent state to approve a human composting bill, although it’s not set to go into effect until 2027. While the cremation process burns fossil fuels and emits carbon dioxide and particulates into the atmosphere, the environmental impact of cremation versus burial is arguably about the same.

A new cosmic dawn: peering across the universe with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope

Physics World

The JWST’s main exoplanet task will be to probe the atmospheres of these distant worlds as they pass between the telescope and their parent stars. Today we know of thousands of worlds beyond our solar system, and – all being well – the JWST will be in prime position to study their atmospheres.
