Authors: Jonathan Morizet-Davis, Yaojing Qiu, June Khongpatimakorn, et al.
Synopsis: This study evaluates textile waste–based BECCS, addressing a global waste stream of ~92 Mt yr⁻¹ (17 Mt in the US) with an estimated CO₂ removal potential of 75 Mt CO₂. Techno-economic and life-cycle analyses show 100% cotton achieves 91% removal efficiency at ~329 USD t⁻¹ CO₂e, while cotton–PET achieves 59% at 777 USD t⁻¹. All BECCS scenarios outperform landfilling, demonstrating textile waste as a viable net-negative pathway.
Life-Cycle Assessment of Solid Calcium-Looping Direct Air Capture and Its Synergistic Dual Use for Net-Negative Cement
Authors: Vittoria Bolongaro, David Yang Shu, Noah McQueen, André Bardow
Synopsis: This study presents a prospective life cycle assessment of megatonne-scale calcium-looping DACCS under 2050 energy scenarios, showing net CO₂ removal efficiencies of 85–96% with limited impacts on other environmental boundaries. Most remaining impacts stem from energy supply chains. Integrating DACCS with cement production enables net-negative cement by using limestone as both sorbent and feedstock, highlighting calcium looping as a scalable CDR pathway and a powerful tool for industrial decarbonization.
Carrying capacity as constraint for maximum efficient CDR in agricultural soils
Authors: K. Ulrich Mayer, Sergio A. Bea, Danyang Su, Jennifer Soong, Jenny Mills, Shawn G. Benner
Synopsis: This study evaluates ERW for carbon dioxide removal by linking effective groundwater recharge and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) as a “carrying capacity” metric. It identifies precipitation of secondary carbonates as a limiting factor for CDR export to groundwater. Global cropland analysis estimates ERW’s potential at 0.15–0.85 Gt CO₂ yr⁻¹, with regions of high groundwater recharge and Mg-rich feedstocks offering the greatest efficiency, highlighting key geochemical and hydrological controls on scalable ERW deployment.

Spatial distributions, driving factors, and future changes of soil organic carbon in China: arid regions vs. humid regions
Authors: Bin Yang, Shihang Zhang & Xiaoguo Wang
Synopsis: This study maps soil organic carbon density across China’s arid and humid regions using a random forest model, explaining 79–88% of observed variation. It finds significantly lower and more heterogeneous carbon stocks in arid regions, driven mainly by climate and vegetation factors, while humid regions show higher stocks influenced by climate, elevation, and human activity. Under future climate scenarios, soil carbon declines in arid areas but increases in humid regions, informing targeted carbon management for China’s 2060 neutrality goal.
An Integrated Modelling Framework to Determine Terrestrial Carbon Dioxide Removal via Enhanced Rock Weathering
Authors: Ziyan Zhang, Gregory Jones, Salvatore Calabrese, Matteo Bertagni, et al.
Synopsis: This study presents T&C-SMEW, an integrated process-based model that captures ecohydrological, biogeochemical, and microbial dynamics to improve carbon dioxide removal (CDR) estimates for enhanced rock weathering (ERW). Validated against mesocosm and field data, the model reproduces cation release, soil pH, primary production, and CO₂ fluxes. Results highlight hydrological and vegetation constraints on ERW, demonstrating the importance of ecosystem-level modelling to identify optimal deployment for effective, scalable CDR.
Seeking El Dorado: Iceland’s carbon dioxide removal service opportunities to meet global demand and a new lens on overnight transition cost
Authors: Dominik Keiner, Yousef Pourjamal, Siavash Khalili, Christian Breyer
Synopsis: This study models large-scale CDR integration into Iceland’s national energy system, leveraging abundant geothermal energy and favorable geology for in-situ mineralization. Scenarios show that scaling CDR to ~1 GtCO₂/yr is feasible but requires additional renewables (onshore wind, solar, wave) and sufficient workforce. Results suggest Iceland could become a global CDR hub, supporting ambitious climate targets while potentially doubling GDP per capita by 2070.
Afforestation-Related Fertilisation Quickly Turns Barren Cutaway Peatland Into a Carbon Dioxide Sink
Authors: Alexander J. V. Buzacott, Kari Laasasenaho, Risto Lauhanen, et al.
Synopsis: This study evaluates afforestation of a cutaway peatland in Finland over three years, using eddy covariance, chamber measurements, and DOC monitoring. After wood ash fertilization and Scots pine planting, the site shifted from a CO₂ source in year one (144 ± 20 g CO₂‑C m⁻² yr⁻¹) to a sink in years two and three (−36 ± 12 and −19 ± 19 g CO₂‑C m⁻² yr⁻¹). CH₄ and N₂O fluxes were small, and net DOC losses ceased after year one. Afforestation enhanced carbon sequestration (172 g C m⁻² yr⁻¹) and negative radiative forcing (−688 g CO₂‑eq m⁻² yr⁻¹), demonstrating rapid restoration potential for degraded peatlands.
An innovative technique and laboratory protocol for CO2 storage in water disposal wells and monitoring asphaltene deposition
Authors: Ehsan Jafarbeigi & Shahab Ayatollahi
Synopsis: This study develops a high-pressure experimental system to directly measure asphaltene precipitation during CO₂ injection into oil-in-water emulsions representative of water-flooded storage formations. Using in situ near-infrared monitoring at reservoir conditions, it shows precipitation strongly depends on temperature, CO₂ concentration, injection rate, and brine chemistry. Optimized conditions greatly reduce asphaltene risks, providing a practical tool to screen and de-risk geological CO₂ storage in water-disposal wells.
Direct Air Capture Using Aqueous Amino Acid Solvents in a Crossflow Absorber
Authors: Jorge Gabitto, Abishek Kasturi, Gyoung Gug Jang, Radu Custelcean, Costas Tsouris
Synopsis: This paper investigates direct air capture of CO₂ using amino-acid solvents in crossflow air–liquid absorbers, which are better suited than countercurrent columns for large airflow rates due to lower pressure drops. By adapting an existing theoretical model, the study analyzes how absorber geometry and operating conditions influence CO₂ capture efficiency and product formation, offering practical design guidance for more efficient large-scale DAC systems.
From Mechanisms to Markets: A Precision Quantification Framework and Paradigm Shift for Saltmarsh Carbon Sinks - Preprint
Authors: Rui Lu, Qiang Wang, Yanxin Zhao, Yiquan Yuan
Synopsis: This review examines salt marshes as highly efficient but poorly quantified blue-carbon sinks, highlighting how biogeomorphic processes and microbial–geochemical feedbacks stabilize carbon long term. It critiques major sequestration measurement methods, identifying gaps in consistency and representativeness. To address MRV challenges, it proposes an integrated Observation–Model–Validation framework that improves accuracy, supports carbon credit certification, and enables transaction-ready blue-carbon markets aligned with climate policy.
Ideas and Perspectives: Max MACS – constraining the potential global scale of Marine Anoxic Carbon Storage for CO2 removal - Preprint
Authors: Morgan Reed Raven, Nitai Amiel, Dror L. Angel, et al.
Synopsis: This paper evaluates Marine Anoxic Carbon Storage (MACS) as a potential gigatonne-scale carbon dioxide removal pathway that stores terrestrial organic carbon in stable anoxic marine environments. Drawing on a 2025 expert workshop, it assesses ecological, biogeochemical, economic, and community impacts, and identifies five key criteria that constrain scalable deployment. While major knowledge gaps remain, the study finds MACS warrants serious consideration as a future climate mitigation option.
Optimal biomass allocation between forestry sinks and energy systems by an integrated modelling approach – decarbonization pathways for Hungary
Authors: Viktor József Rácz, András Mezősi & Gabriella Szajkó
Synopsis: This study evaluates integrated GHG abatement strategies for Hungary’s forest and energy sectors using linked FOX and HU-TIMES models. Results show forest carbon offsets have lower marginal abatement costs than many energy technologies, redirecting over one-third of required abatement from energy to forests. The analysis indicates that promoting forest sequestration through carbon pricing reduces total system costs, highlighting the efficiency and robustness of combining forest and energy sector mitigation under a zero-emission 2050 scenario.
Alignment of international standards for CDR using CCS: Comparative analysis of the EU Carbon Removal and Carbon Farming (CRCF) Regulation against the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) and Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement
Authors: Natasha Martirosian, Murali A Thoppil, Evangelos Mouchos, et al.
Synopsis: This report evaluates UK efforts to standardize carbon dioxide removal (CDR) through BioCCS and DACCS, comparing the EU CRCF Regulation, ICVCM Core Carbon Principles, and Paris Agreement Article 6.4. While CRCF simplifies methods via zero-baselines and cascading biomass, it lacks transparency and rigorous risk management. ICVCM and Article 6.4 provide stronger baselines, leakage accounting, and reversal safeguards. Recommendations include project-specific baselines, comprehensive leakage evaluation, and explicit reversal risk measures to ensure credible, interoperable CDR standards.
Direct air capture enables sustainable hydrocarbon production in water-scarce regions
Authors: Henrik Wenzel, Thomas Schöb, David Sholl, Jochen Linßen, Detlef Stolten, Jann Weinand
Synopsis: This study evaluates global water-conscious methanol production by integrating direct air capture, electrolysis, and renewable energy. Analyzing 20,000+ regions, it finds 97% have sufficient water from ambient air, with energy efficiency ranging 39–49% due to DAC weather dependency. Air-cooling strategies mitigate water constraints with minimal cost impact. The approach enables sustainable methanol production in arid regions, sourcing all feedstocks from air while addressing water-energy challenges.

The potential of storing carbon dioxide in construction materials through mineralisation: a mathematical modelling study
Authors: Liyuan Chen
Synopsis: This work evaluates Direct Air Capture combined with CO₂ mineralisation in construction materials as a scalable carbon removal pathway. Through meta-analysis, machine-learning models, process simulation, and life-cycle assessment, it quantifies CO₂ uptake and net removal in cement, recycled concrete aggregates, and steel slag. Results show DAC-enabled carbonation can achieve verifiable net-negative outcomes under low-carbon energy and optimised logistics, supporting circular, durable CO₂ storage in the built environment.
Adaptation Pathways for Direct Air Capture Deployment in Canada
Authors: Motlaghzadeh, Kasra
Synopsis: This study assesses uncertainties around DAC deployment in Canada using Integrated Assessment Modeling, Cross-Impact Balance analysis, and Adaptation Pathways. Results show DAC demand could range from 0–300 MtCO₂/yr by 2075, influenced by socio-economic pathways, fossil-fuel dependence, policy coherence, and public acceptance. The integrated framework links qualitative and quantitative scenarios, identifies low-regret actions, and informs flexible, robust strategies for DAC deployment under deep uncertainty.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES
Postdoctoral Associate, Earth & Planetary Sciences at Yale University | New Haven, CT | Deadline: 09 December 2026
“This project aims to develop a forecasting system for mCDR from geochemical climate interventions such as enhanced weathering and ocean alkalinity enhancement. These approaches work by increasing ocean alkalinity, allowing the ocean to draw down and store atmospheric CO2 as stable bicarbonate. However, quantifying the efficiency and permanence of this storage remains a key challenge, due to complex and unresolved ocean-atmosphere dynamics.
We will build an AI-enabled modeling system that couples a GPU-optimized ocean model with a biogeochemical module and AI-based, kilometer-scale atmospheric forecasts. This system will allow users to input CDR forcing (e.g., alkalinity addition) and produce day-by-day forecasts of CO2 uptake and storage durability. The project combines physics-based modeling, machine learning, and high-performance computing to deliver fast, accurate, and accessible forecasts for monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of geochemical CDR.”

Environmental LCA and TEA of Textile Waste Valorization via Modular BECCS | Remove and Reflect Podcast
This episode covers a research paper that evaluates the environmental and economic feasibility of using modular bioenergy systems with carbon capture and storage to process global textile waste. By comparing 100% cotton and 50/50 cotton-polyester blends, the study determines that natural fibers offer superior carbon dioxide removal at a lower cost per ton. While synthetic blends generate more electricity due to higher energy density, they result in higher net emissions because of their fossil-based origins. The analysis utilizes Life Cycle Assessment and Techno-Economic Analysis to show that all textile-to-energy pathways significantly outperform traditional landfilling. Despite higher localized impacts like acidification from capture chemicals, these systems provide a viable route for achieving net-negative emissions in the power sector. Ultimately, the study highlights how biogenic carbon in discarded clothing can be transformed into a sustainable energy resource.
