"To avoid integrity issues, the world will need robust regulations on how carbon removal is conducted. This includes:
agreed standards to measure carbon removal in ways that rule out dodgy or temporary carbon removal
more advanced carbon removal technologies that bring down the cost and reduce land and energy requirements
more sophisticated ways of aligning carbon removal with social justice so that sovereignty and humanity rights are prioritised over carbon markets
a system of incentives to encourage carbon removal. States, companies and other actors should be rewarded for their climate restoration work, but these efforts must be additional to actual emissions reduction.
Of course, the best thing to do is to stop emitting carbon. However, preserving a safe climate will likely require us to go further. It’s time to start a democratic discussion about carbon removal."

Peatlands are real carbon storing champions. But as we need more farmland, we're drying them up at alarming rates and release enormous amounts of CO2 in the process. What to do about it? Well, there might just be a way to do both — keep the ground wet AND grow food on it.

We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

At The Root of Bulked-up Plants - Technology Org
Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists identified a gene “hotspot” in the poplar tree that triggers dramatically increased root growth. The discovery supports development of better bioenergy crops and other plants that can thrive in difficult conditions while storing more carbon belowground.

The team used a vast poplar dataset to identify regulator genes that can trigger hundreds of other gene expressions in the tree. They confirmed the molecular function of one hub gene, PtrXB38, and found that plants with the gene produced prolific and deeper roots. The gene even stimulated the growth of aerial roots on stems and leaves.
“With more roots, these plants absorb more nutrients, grow larger, are more tolerant to drought and can draw more carbon underground for longer-term storage,” said ORNL’s Wellington Muchero. The aerial roots may also make the plant more tolerant to flooding.
“This naturally occurring gene has implications for biomass production, food production and climate change mitigation.”

Neste, LyondellBasell, Biofibre and Naftex bring biopolymers in the construction sector
Neste’s headquarter in Espoo, Finland Neste, LyondellBasell, Biofibre and Naftex have created a value chain to combine bio-based polymers with natural fiber for the manufacturing of construction elements. The combination of polymers with measurable bio-based content and natural fiber in construction elements creates carbone storage which can help tackle climate change.  Continue reading Untitled

"
Banks and other big businesses will be forced to come clean with the public about what they are doing to cut emissions under plans put forward by the Albanese government.
The government is also looking for ways to crack down on “greenwashing” – or when businesses try to win over consumers by overhyping their environmental practices.
"The treasurer, Jim Chalmers, will say in a speech in Sydney on Monday that Australian firms “need to make credible disclosures to remain competitive in global capital markets”.

2:51 Conclusion
Trees help the world in many ways - they create habitats for wildlife, filter water, improve community health and well-being, clean the air, and sequester carbon. Trees are like the lungs of the world, and they create a lot of the oxygen we breathe. Trees absorb carbon dioxide through pores on their leaves called stomata. Through photosynthesis oxygen is released into the atmosphere through the stomata.
Trees also remove pollution form the air, which comes from many sources such as burning fossil fuels, manufacturing, and forest fires. It comes in different forms such as particulate matter which can be intercepted by the tree's bark, branches, and leaves. There are also gaseous pollutants that are absorbed through the stomata on the leaves' surfaces. Healthy trees reduce air pollution and are able to help prevent respiratory illnesses caused by pollutants. Trees also cool the air by creating shade and releasing water vapor.
Trees also store carbon, which helps to mitigate climate change. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis and store this carbon in their roots, leaves, trunks, and branches. As the trees grow larger, they store more and more carbon making them an excellent long term carbon storage system. However, deforestation and human-caused fires disrupt the cycle of carbon storage and can be major sources of carbon being released back into the atmosphere.
To mitigate climate change and help clean the air there are a few things we can do. By practicing sustainable management, protecting forests, and planting trees we can slow the rise in temperature. But we can’t do it alone.
One Tree Planted is committed to growing resilient, healthy, productive forests for the benefit of people, communities, and the planet. If you would like to learn more and take action visit our website and subscribe to our youtube channel.

How seagrasses store carbon?
Along with being a haven for marine life, seagrass sediment is one of the planet’s most efficient carbon stores and prevents it from becoming a planet-warming greenhouse gas.
Now, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany, a one-time coordinator of a European Union-UNEP project, have discovered how seagrasses store carbon.
The research shows that seagrasses convert organic carbon into large amounts of sugar during photosynthesis, mainly sucrose. Globally, seagrasses have produced between 0.6 and 1.3 million tonnes of these sugars. This is comparable to the amount of sugar in 32 billion cans of Coke.
