A team of scientists led by University of Texas at Austin Professor Gary
Pope has developed a new, game-changing idea that combines these two
technologies and adds another – the dissolution of CO2 into
But why no mention of CDR by accelerated rock weathering (AGR)? This is
one of the solutions selected by the Virgin Challenge - the one from
Netherlands. And it is being promoted by Olaf Schuilling, who is a
member of this Geoengineering Group.
This is a low tech, low cost approach - which

Hello Alan Colleagues,
Yes, as when convenient it would be interesting, Alan, to learn from you
which of your 26 objections to stratospheric seeding apply to Marine Cloud
Brightening (MCB): and, of
This is an excellent, concise summary of the lock-in effect I've been
droning on about for years, and I think it is still vastly
un(der)appreciated by people concerned/engaged with climate change. There
is some high-profile acknowledgement of this situation, e.g. IEA's top
economist, Fatih
Thanks. Yes, lots of great ideas out there.
Speaking of the Virgin Earth Challenge (apparently the only CDR game in town),
what the heck happened to the prize? Did they quietly select a winner, split
the
money among finalists, or say sorry, no winner, thanks for all of the great
ideas, we
Dear John,
We are designing an MCB GeoMIP experiment so we can see how robust the
results are from the climate models that have already done these
experiments, but all differently. In theory, there would be both
benefits and risks, and these must be quantified. From my list, you can

From David A's article:
One interesting initiative is
the Virgin Earth Challenge, which was launched in
2007. Sponsored by Richard Branson, it offers $25m
to whoever can demonstrate a sustainable and scalable design to
permanently remove a billion tonnes
of carbon from the air every year for 10
Hello again Alan,
I agree entirely with your comments below, and look forward to
learning the results of yr assessment.
All Best,John.

recommend going to this site for latest update:

There were 11 finalists for the $25 million prize; three were biochar
companies. I believe we are still within the 5 year
Hello Olaf,
I should have mentioned that, re hurricanes coral, our idea is to
maintain the SST's in the appropriate areas at current values,
using MCB to counter CO2 increase.
Trying to reduce SSTs below current values is a different
and possibly dangerous game, which we are not considering.
Hi Stephen,
Did you or Ben conduct a signal to noise analysis for this? (Sorry, I
haven't read his thesis, nor walked through quantitative analysis myself.)
When we did our testing paper a few years back, we found that a global-scale
forcing of 1 W/m^2 would still take decades to get adequate

1. I don't think I misinterpreted the quote. I said below
I believe one can't possibly get the ethics of either geoengineering or SRM
correct if you believe CDR has this presumed dismal future .
I am in perfect agreement with your sentence below:
This is what led my
Back on thread for a moment, I'd be particularly keen to see an analysis of
the scale limitations to the electro CDR approach. I'm concerned about the
localised/regional impact of changes in ocean chemistry.
Is anyone able to model this?

Note to future prize sponsors: selecting 10 technologies in YR 1 from which one
winner will be chosen in YR 10 runs the risk of ignoring new and potentially
better ideas that arise in the interim. Imagine selecting a winning computer
technology from ideas that are ten years old? Much better to
