Poster's note : not sure if this is strictly CDR, but it's an interesting
overview of the subject anyway. The economic fundamentals certainly make it
an appealing technology.

Climate-induced migration is having a moment in the light, with press
reports on Syria’s migration crisis occasionally featuring the
Agriculture in humid areas with poorly-buffered soils typically now spreads
ground limestone to buffer rain's natural and artificial acidity, releasing
carbon dioxide from the calcium carbonate rock dust. As an alternative,
alkaline magnesium-rich mafic rock can be ground and spread instead,
Speaking of electrochemistry and too much CO2 in the air, why make hydrocarbon
fuels that just recycle the C back to the atmosphere? You can electrochemically
split water with whatever renewable electricity, make H2 (fuel), neutralize the
acid produced at the anode with base minerals to produce

completely new SRM geoengineering regimen which can be governed at the local
level and would have an extremely short wave effect.
