“Microsoft report: 3 emerging carbon removal trends for 2023”
"… But with all this [carbon dioxide removal] activity, Microsoft says there is a dearth of strong certifications and policies around the measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) for these new tools to track their effectiveness.”

@davidho #MRV denotes measurement, reporting & verification?

“Inventing Applied Ocean Biogeochemistry” to realize #mcdr and #mrv. That’s definitely what the past few years have felt like…makes me feel better to put a name to it!

Yet another reason for us to get the inorganic carbon accounting right in #bluecarbon ecosystems! Understanding both source and fate of CaCO3 is critical, and will make or break our ability to #mrv Blue carbon-based #mCDR

Transparency is vital around numerical climate and sustainability goals - #netzero #30by30 and the rest. But I don't count on that driving change as much as intangibles that drive sustained commitments but can't be #MRV-ed. I see this line from "The Little Prince" as relevant.…

Super excited to participate in the Yale YCNCC spring symposium on enhanced weathering. Two days of interesting panel discussions, talks – and most of all meeting fascinating people working on enhanced weathering from different backgrounds: science (natural & social!), business, policy.
Very inspiring to work at a place that brings together so many leading experts, helping to identify key challenges for enhanced weathering and bring about the collaborations to tackle them!

Spent yesterday out in the field helping Quinn Zacharias prepare for their big enhanced weathering field trials! Soon, they'll amend the soils with basalt powder, which will (hopefully!) remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

The project is unique, because they will apply basalt to a complete watershed. Plus the catchment is continuously monitored and has ~60 years of baseline data! Can't wait for their results! 🤓

2. Monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) is the hot topic of the moment. Events in Cornwall suggest that #MRV, while crucial for potential upscaling, may be much less relevant for early decision-making on OAE. Do we need even more weight on the environmental assessment?

I just started my postdoc @YaleUniversity! Thanks to @snsf_ch @snsf_ch and Prof. Noah Planavsky, for the next 2.5 years I have the opportunity to work on the quantification of #CO2 removal of #enhanced_weathering field trials. Super excited to finally work on this topic!

Please reach out if you work on enhanced weathering/CDR/MRV and would like to connect/discuss! :-)

@davidho Awesome! This is like a sister paper to our alkalinity-along-all-the-coastlines paper, but for macro algae. We too found that a lot of the CO2 exchange happens outside the areas of deployment. #MRV is gonna be hard.

Turns out #MRV (measurement, reporting, and verification) for ocean CO₂ removal (#CDR) is controversial (and really hard). Who knew? 😬

As lead author of the chapter on measurement, reporting, and verification (#MRV) in the Guide to Best Practices in Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (#OAE) Research, I'll be showing this as the guiding principle at the meeting of lead authors in Villefranche-sur-Mer.

Starting in spring 2023, Japan plans to release radioactive water (mostly #tritium) from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean.

This is a perfect opportunity for ocean carbon dioxide removal (#CDR) companies to release alkalinity in the same radioactive water stream and use tritium/helium-3 as tracers for measurement, reporting, and verification (#MRV). 🙃
