RESEARCH PAPERS
Natural Carbonation of Alkaline Industrial Wastes: A Large-Scale, Unaccounted Sink for CO2
Xi, F., Ma, M., Liu, Z., Davis, S., Bing, L., Wang, J., ... & Gu, W. (2025). Natural Carbonation of Alkaline Industrial Wastes: A Large-Scale, Unaccounted Sink for CO2.
Synopsis: Achieving climate goals requires large-scale carbon dioxide removal. Enhanced weathering of alkaline industrial wastes, like slags and ash, is a promising method. This research shows that global natural carbonation of these wastes absorbed 0.43 Gt CO₂ in 2020, with a 2% annual increase over the past decade. From 1930–2020, 14.0 Gt CO₂ was absorbed. These wastes represent an overlooked carbon sink, with significant potential for future enhancement.
Mining the atmosphere: A concrete solution to global warming
Lura, P., Lunati, I., Desing, H., Heuberger, M., Bach, C., & Richner, P. (2025). Mining the atmosphere: A concrete solution to global warming. Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 212, 107968.
Synopsis: To offset anthropogenic climate impacts, about 400 Gt of carbon must be removed from the atmosphere. This study proposes using excess renewable energy post-energy transition to capture CO₂ and convert it into methane or methanol, which can be further processed into polymers, hydrogen, and solid carbon. End-of-life polymers are pyrolyzed, with resulting solid carbon and silicon carbide utilized as aggregates in concrete and asphalt. These materials, when landfilled, serve as long-term carbon sinks, potentially storing up to 12 Gt of carbon annually. This approach offers stable, high-density carbon storage, decentralized implementation, and replaces CO₂-emitting materials.
Growth response of Emiliania huxleyi to ocean alkalinity enhancement
Faucher, G., Haunost, M., Paul, A. J., Tietz, A. U. C., & Riebesell, U. (2025). Growth response of Emiliania huxleyi to ocean alkalinity enhancement. Biogeosciences, 22(2), 405-415.
Synopsis: This study examines the response of Emiliania huxleyi, a key coccolithophore, to increasing alkalinity. Results show that beyond a certain alkalinity threshold, growth rates decreased, and although the calcite to organic carbon ratio remained stable, overall carbonate formation was reduced. These findings suggest that elevated alkalinity may limit OAE’s effectiveness in enhancing marine primary production and calcification.
Negative Emission Enabled by Combining Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement and Waste Concrete Upcycling
Jin, S., Tyka, M. D., Rodriguez Martinez, C., Davis, C. E., Van Arsdale, C., & Papania-Davis, A. R. (2024). Negative Emission Enabled by Combining Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement and Waste Concrete Upcycling. ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering.
Synopsis: Electrochemical ocean alkalinity enhancement is a promising method for achieving negative carbon emissions, but the dilute acid produced during the process presents a disposal challenge. This study proposes a novel solution using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) to neutralize the acid while simultaneously producing high-quality aggregates for new construction. A rotary drum reactor reduces acid concentration and improves RCA properties, such as water absorption. The method is scalable and, when integrated with OAE, could remove hundreds of megatons of CO₂ annually, divert construction waste from landfills, and generate revenue from reduced disposal fees and aggregate production.
Monitoring marine carbon dioxide removal: quantitative analysis of indicators for carbon removed and environmental side-effects
Morganti, T., Mengis, N., Oschlies, A., & Rehder, G. (2025). Monitoring marine carbon dioxide removal: quantitative analysis of indicators for carbon removed and environmental side-effects.
Synopsis: This study reviews the mCDR literature to identify common indicators for measuring carbon removal and assessing environmental impacts. It finds that linking chemical and biological changes directly to carbon sequestration rates and side effects is challenging due to the complexity of marine biogeochemical processes and the lack of regional boundaries. The absence of standardized monitoring methods hampers verification, risks investments, and limits mCDR's integration into carbon credit systems, slowing the sector's growth.
Integrated assessment of carbon dioxide removal portfolios: land, energy, and economic trade-offs for climate policy
Chiquier, S., Gurgel, A., Morris, J., Chen, Y. H. H., & Paltsev, S. (2025). Integrated assessment of carbon dioxide removal portfolios: land, energy, and economic trade-offs for climate policy. Environmental Research Letters, 20(2), 024002.
Synopsis: Carbon dioxide removal is key to meeting the Paris Agreement's goals, but current strategies focus mainly on BECCS, afforestation, and DACCS. This study advocates for diversifying CDR approaches—such as biochar and enhanced weathering—based on regional characteristics. A balanced CDR portfolio reduces negative impacts, optimizes land and energy use, and improves scalability. Emphasizing nature-based solutions, especially in regions like Brazil, could significantly aid carbon sequestration and biodiversity preservation.
Multi-scenario land use change simulation and spatial-temporal evolution of carbon storage in the Yangtze River Delta region based on the PLUS-InVEST model
Zhou, J., Johnson, V. C., Shi, J., Tan, M. L., & Zhang, F. (2025). Multi-scenario land use change simulation and spatial-temporal evolution of carbon storage in the Yangtze River Delta region based on the PLUS-InVEST model. PloS one, 20(1), e0316255.
Synopsis: Land use in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) has significantly changed due to urbanization and socio-economic activities, impacting ecological structures and carbon storage. Analyzing data from 2000–2020, this study used the InVEST and PLUS models to simulate land use and carbon storage under five 2030 scenarios: natural development (ND), urban development (UD), ecological protection (EP), cropland protection (CP), and balanced development (BD). Carbon storage declined under ND, UD, EP, and CP, but increased under BD. Policies promoting cropland and ecological protection effectively mitigate carbon storage loss by preserving land integrity and enhancing use structures.
Biochar and carbon-negative technologies: exploring opportunities for climate change mitigation
Ayaz, M., Muntaha, S. T., Baltrėnaitė-Gedienė, E., & Kriaučiūnienė, Z. (2025). Biochar and carbon-negative technologies: exploring opportunities for climate change mitigation. Biochar, 7(1), 17.
Synopsis: This study underscores biochar's (BC) ecological restoration benefits and role in sustainable environmental management. Through literature analysis, it highlights BC’s ability to enhance crop growth, nutrient bioavailability, water quality, and mitigate heavy metal pollution, while delivering a net negative carbon footprint. BC also aids renewable energy production and carbon sequestration. Advanced pyrolysis techniques improve its efficacy, but further research is needed on health risks and optimization of feedstock and pyrolysis parameters for safe, sustainable applications.
Consistent soil organic carbon accumulation under hedges driven by increase in light particulate organic matter
Biffi, S., Chapman, P. J., Grayson, R. P., Holden, J., Leake, J. R., Armitage, H., ... & Ziv, G. (2025). Consistent soil organic carbon accumulation under hedges driven by increase in light particulate organic matter. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 382, 109471.
Synopsis: Hedgerow planting, advocated by biodiversity and carbon sequestration policies, can sequester significant soil organic carbon (SOC). A study in the UK quantified SOC sequestration beneath hedges across five pedoclimatic conditions. Results showed that hedges stored 40% more SOC than adjacent grassland fields, with older hedges having greater SOC at depth. Mature hedges sequestered 1.5 Mg C ha−1 yr−1, though sequestration rates declined with age. These findings support hedgerow planting for carbon accounting and climate mitigation.
Carbon-Negative Ironmaking – Carbon Dioxide Removal and Fossil-Free Iron Units
Jamieson, B., Young, E., & Reinhardt, P. (2024). Carbon-Negative Ironmaking–Carbon Dioxide Removal and Fossil-Free Iron Units.
Synopsis: Carbon Dioxide Removal is a nascent industry with significant venture and voluntary backing. Carbon removals are a critical aspect of closing the balance on net zero emissions, and can take many forms, exemplified by: bio-oil sequestration, direct air capture, enhanced rock weathering, and ocean alkalinity enhancement. Bio-oil is a carbon rich and medium energy fluid that can be readily transported, either to a geologic sequestration site or to an ironmaking facility to be used as a reductant. The life cycle of a generic ironmaking route using bio-oil sequestration is summarized to contextualize “carbon negative ironmaking” using bio-oil.
Do oversimplified durability metrics undervalue biochar carbon dioxide removal?
Ringsby, A. J., & Maher, K. (2025). Do oversimplified durability metrics undervalue biochar carbon dioxide removal?. Environmental Research Letters.
Synopsis: Biochar soil amendment is a viable carbon dioxide removal strategy, but quantifying its CDR depends heavily on biochar durability. Current methodologies primarily use the molar H/C ratio to predict durability, overlooking environmental factors and deployment specifics. Re-analysis shows these models may undervalue biochar projects, particularly for certain feedstocks. To improve reliability, the study recommends developing feedstock-specific and environmental data distributions, integrating field measurements, and refining CDR models to align better with real-world practices and maximize co-benefits.
Synthetic biology approaches to negative emissions technologies: a technological and ethical appraisal
Logel, D., & Wodak, J. Synthetic Biology Approaches to Negative Emissions Technologies: A Technological and Ethical Appraisal. Frontiers in Climate, 6, 1516823.
Synopsis: Synthetic biology offers innovative Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs) by modifying or creating biological pathways to sequester greenhouse gases into useful products like biomass and calcium carbonate. Despite their potential, scaling these technologies faces biological, social, and economic challenges. Ethical concerns about releasing engineered organisms into the environment under controlled conditions remain underexplored. This study provides a technological and ethical evaluation of synthetic biology's role in climate change mitigation through Ecosystem Technology.
Measure-and-remeasure as an economically feasible approach to crediting soil organic carbon at scale
Potash, E., Bradford, M. A., Oldfield, E. E., & Guan, K. (2025). Measure-and-remeasure as an economically feasible approach to crediting soil organic carbon at scale. Environmental Research Letters, 20(2), 024025.
Synopsis: Agricultural carbon crediting often uses biogeochemical models to estimate soil organic carbon (SOC) changes, but this study explores the feasibility of measure-and-remeasure methods. By using randomized practice assignments and two-stage cluster sampling, this approach directly measures SOC changes with fewer assumptions. Analysis shows that projects spanning thousands of fields, with ~10% measured, can yield competitive returns in five years if treatment effects align with research findings. Measure-and-remeasure projects not only offer cost-effective scaling but also provide independent validation for model-based estimates, supporting both market and non-market SOC initiatives.
The multidimensional influences of environmental factors on carbon storage: Evidence from Zagros Forests of Iran
Haidari, M., Iranmanesh, Y., Jaafari, A., Pourhashemi, M., Henarah, J., Jahanpour, F., ... & Fani, B. (2025). The multidimensional influences of environmental factors on carbon storage: Evidence from Zagros Forests of Iran. Ecological Engineering, 212, 107523.
Synopsis: This study examines carbon storage in forests across three provinces in the Zagros Forests of Iran—West Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, and Lorestan—highlighting the impact of environmental factors on carbon sequestration. West Azerbaijan showed the highest carbon storage, with organic carbon, nitrogen, humidity, and precipitation positively influencing storage. Larger trees and higher forest density correlated with better carbon storage. These findings emphasize the importance of region-specific forest management and carbon sequestration strategies for effective Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in climate mitigation.
Pervasive aquatic vegetation organic carbon losses in China's lakes
Cao, Z., Lai, L., Zhang, Y., Chen, X., Yang, Q., Wu, S., & Jiang, F. (2025). Pervasive aquatic vegetation organic carbon losses in China's lakes. Science of The Total Environment, 963, 178548.
Synopsis: Aquatic vegetation serves as a natural carbon pool, offering potential to mitigate climate change. A meta-analysis of 1145 samples in this study across 616 Chinese lakes shows that aquatic vegetation organic carbon storage has declined by 58.52% (7.87 × 10⁵ t) since 1986. Trends reveal an increase (1986–1995), a decrease (1995–2010), and rapid losses (2010–2020), with emergent aquatic vegetation (EAV) most affected. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these vital carbon sinks and their role in climate mitigation.
Biomass exclusion must be weighed against benefits of carbon supply in European energy system
Millinger, M., Hedenus, F., Zeyen, E., Neumann, F., Reichenberg, L., & Berndes, G. (2025). Biomass exclusion must be weighed against benefits of carbon supply in European energy system. Nature Energy, 1-3.
Synopsis: Biomass associated with low upstream emissions offers cost-effective renewable carbon for negative emissions and production of chemicals, aviation and shipping fuels, reducing the need for more costly options like direct air capture. Policy support for sustainable biomass use alongside emerging technologies reduces energy system costs and the risk of missing emissions targets.
The Need to Explore the Potential of Marine CDR with a One-Earth Strategy: A Guide for Policy-makers
Boyd, P. W., Gattuso, J. P., Dai, M., Legendre, L., Satterfield, T., & Webb, R. M. (2025). The Need to Explore the Potential of Marine CDR with a One-Earth Strategy: A Guide for Policy-makers.
Synopsis: This study entails that rapid, deep CO₂ reductions and carbon dioxide removal are essential to meet the Paris Agreement goals of limiting warming to <2°C. By 2050, CDR must offset emissions from hard-to-decarbonize sectors. Current land-based methods could reach 2.6 Gt/year by 2030, but a 1 Gt gap remains. Novel methods, including marine CDR (mCDR), show billion-tonne potential but need urgent research and regulation to ensure scalability, safety, and sustainability alongside land-based efforts.
Biochar and bentonite application improves aeolian sandy soil health and enhances soil carbon sequestration and emission reduction potential
Weijing, L., Jiaxi, T., Yu, L., Sizhu, S., Xiaoyu, J., Liyu, H., ... & Miaomiao, H. (2025). Biochar and bentonite application improves aeolian sandy soil health and enhances soil carbon sequestration and emission reduction potential. Scientific Reports, 15(1), 2205.
Synopsis: This study explores the effects of biochar and bentonite on aeolian sandy soil, aiming to improve water and fertilizer retention. Over two years, treatments with rice husk, corn stalk, and bamboo biochar, along with bentonite, enhanced soil characteristics, including increased organic matter, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and nutrient availability. The combination of corn stalk biochar and bentonite led to a 36.6% increase in corn yield. Additionally, the study highlights biochar's potential for carbon sequestration, offsetting CO2 emissions by around 100 million tons annually.
