I enjoyed reading the article. I am probably one of those the article is directed at, sceptical, particularly of land-based CDR. I think potential from land-based measures incl. BECCS is quite strongly limited by a range of institutional, economic, social and environmental factors.
If we can somehow move the conversation on to EW & DACCS being the technologies with most potential to scale (if EW works) and setting up funding streams for those, then I am strongly supportive. With these technologies, market-based allocation is surely best.
But as long as we are relying on other land-based measures, I think these do have to be rationed. Ability to pay for removals is not the same as the need, particularly when it comes to food production.
Thanks again for the blog; I find it very interesting to get an alternate perspective to mine.
Marginal Carbon is great! Best I've seen for up-to-date news on CDR market.
Thank you John! Makes me glad to hear
