Episode notes
Carbon Removal Strategy
- Reduce emissions as part of net-zero goals.
- Remove remaining carbon through methods like carbonated timber construction.
Carbon Storage in Buildings
- Planting trees alone isn't enough for carbon removal, as they can be burned.
- Carbonated timber in buildings offers more permanent carbon storage.
Biochar and Basal Rocks
- Consider low-level technologies like biochar for carbon removal.
- Biochar, made from burning wood with low oxygen, combined with basal rocks creates good fertilizer.
