Natural carbon removal as technology

Nils Markusson

Summary: Research shows that while natural solutions are preferred by lay people, in practice, all carbon removal methods must be viewed as technological. This technological framing, along with efforts to standardize and engineer natural carbon removal, is crucial for accountability and climate policy implementation. However, the ambiguity between a natural and technological framing may impact public understanding and acceptance, raising the need for further research on the subject.

Public Perceptions of Faecal Sludge Biochar and Biosolids Use in Agriculture

Hannah Larissa Nicholas et al.

Summary: Full-scale pyrolysis of faecal sludge is a reliable technology for safe pathogen removal and biochar production, which can enhance crop productivity. Faecal sludge biochar has the potential to improve acidic, low nutrient soils and crop yield, especially in developing countries. However, little research has been conducted on public acceptance of faecal sludge biochar as a soil enhancer. The study found that males and older age groups were more likely to have a positive perception of faecal sludge biochar.

Trends in the Use of Promotional Language (Hype) in Abstracts of Successful National Institutes of Health Grant Applications, 1985-2020

Neil Millar et al.

Summary: This study assessed the changes over time in the use of hype in the abstracts of National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant applications. The findings showed that the level of hype in successful NIH grant applications has increased from 1985 to 2020. This study's results are important in raising awareness among applicants, reviewers, and funding agencies about the growing prevalence of subjective, promotional language in funding applications.

Biochar as multi-purpose sustainable technology: experiences from projects in Tanzania

Anders Hansson et al.

Summary: This study explores the potential of biochar as a negative emissions technology in least-developed countries (LDCs) and the challenges associated with implementing biochar projects in Tanzania. The research highlights the difficulties in combining the socio-economic and environmental benefits of biochar into a single project, and the trade-offs that will likely arise between the development needs of local communities, the motivations of various project participants, and the regulatory capacity of the state.

Framing nature-based solutions to climate change

Shannon Osaka et al.

Summary: Research has shown that natural climate solutions play an important role in mitigating and adapting to climate change, but the framing of these solutions as natural can lead to overlooking their risks and drawbacks. The labeling of solutions as natural tends to result in them being perceived as more beneficial, cost-effective, mature, and democratic than artificial counterparts, despite the fact that they may also have negative aspects. The dangers of narrowing the consideration of natural solutions and selecting solutions based on nature are reflected upon, emphasizing the need for a broader evaluation of climate solutions.

The promised land? Exploring the future visions and narrative silences of cellular agriculture in news and industry media

Richard Helliwell et al.

Summary: Cellular food technologies aim to separate animal protein production from animal bodies to address the negative implications of animal agriculture. The potential impacts of these technologies include altering human-nature relations, disrupting food systems, land use patterns, and biodiversity, with efficiency gains considered central to positive environmental visions. However, there are potential consequences left unaddressed, emphasizing the need for further consideration and discussion of the environmental and rural policy implications.

Perceptions of naturalness predict US public support for Soil Carbon Storage as a climate solution

Shannan K. Sweet et al.

Summary: A national survey found that a majority of US adults support Soil Carbon Storage as a climate change mitigation strategy, regardless of the involvement of biochar. Those who perceive Soil Carbon Storage as natural are more likely to support the strategy.

Carbon Dioxide Removal Policy in the Making: Assessing Developments in 9 OECD Cases

Felix Schenuit et al.

Summary: This research explores the shift in global climate policy towards net zero emission targets and the increasing focus on carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Based on case studies of countries like the EU, Norway, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and the US, a tripartite conceptual typology of CDR policymaking is proposed, providing insights for future comparative studies and more detailed case analyses.
