Advantages of microalgae over trees: Microalgae absorb CO2 quicker than trees, providing rapid carbon sequestration for mitigating climate change. Microalgae can be grown in a variety of conditions, including urban and industrial environments, offering adaptable solutions. Microalgae generate more biomass per acre than trees, increasing carbon sequestration potential. Microalgae cultivation takes up less ground than tree planting, making it excellent for urban areas and land-constrained locations. Harnessing the power of microalgae with trees can help us achieve a more sustainable and resilient planet! #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy #NatureBasedSolutions #AirPollution #CleanAir #ClimateCrisis #ENeufBreath #ENeufOxyCity #ENeufGreenSolutions

Why do we #sequester #carbon? Let's analyze it: 🏞 #Climate stabilization: carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a major #greenhouse #gas that drives climate #change. By sequestering carbon, we reduce its concentration in the #atmosphere, #mitigating #temperature rise and extreme weather events. 🌎 🌲 #Natural HEROES: #forests, #wetlands and #oceans are nature's carbon vaults. Trees absorb CO₂ during photosynthesis and store it as biomass. #Wetlands trap carbon in their soils. And the oceans dissolve CO₂, acting as vast reservoirs. 🌲🌊 🌏 #Soil magic: Healthy soils are unsung climate heroes. They lock up carbon through #organic matter: dead leaves, #roots and #microbes. #Practices such as cover #crops, #no-till #farming and #reforestation improve the soil's ability to sequester carbon. 🌱 🙏🏻 WIN-WIN: sequestering #carbon is not just about climate; it's about thriving ecosystems. #Biodiversity flourishes, #water quality improves and #landscapes become resilient. It's a win for people and the #planet. 🌿🌏

Did you know? Black carbon, a major air pollutant, is one of the leading drivers of climate change. Produced from burning fossil fuels, biomass, and agricultural waste, it absorbs sunlight, heats the atmosphere, and speeds up glacier melting. Together, let’s fight black carbon pollution and protect our planet! . . . . . #ActForEarth #DriveCleanLiveGreen 🌍 #BlackCarbon #ClimateAction #AirPollution #GlobalWarming #EcoFriendlyLiving #SustainabilityMatters #CarbonFootprint #ClimateCrisis #ReduceEmissions #DriveGreen #RenewableEnergy #SaveOurPlanet #GreenSolutions #SustainableFuture

Seaweed: A Natural Ally in Combating Carbon Emissions and Ocean Acidification As climate change accelerates, our oceans face the dual threat of increased carbon dioxide levels and resulting acidification. However, nature provides us with a powerful tool to address these challenges: Seaweed. Seaweed and Carbon Sequestration: Seaweed, particularly macroalgae like kelp, plays a critical role in sequestering carbon. Through photosynthesis, seaweed absorbs CO2 from the water, converting it into oxygen and biomass. This process not only reduces CO2 levels in the ocean but also helps in mitigating global climate change by capturing carbon that would otherwise contribute to atmospheric greenhouse gases. Combating Ocean Acidification: Ocean acidification, caused by increased CO2 absorption, poses a significant threat to marine life, especially organisms that rely on calcium carbonate for their shells and skeletons. By absorbing CO2, seaweed helps lower the acidity of the surrounding water, creating a more hospitable environment for marine species.  Let's embrace the power of seaweed to tackle carbon emissions and ocean acidification, ensuring a sustainable future for our planet! #oceanacidification #agriculture #seaweed #sustainability #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #carbonemissions Seth, Abhiram Tanmaye Seth Amit Nowlakha Manishi Saxena  

Unmasking “Blue Carbon Credits: An Innovative Approach to tackling Climate Change!” #BlueCarbonCredits are an innovative approach to tackling #climatechange by leveraging the natural power of #coastalecosystems. These ecosystems, like #mangroves, #seagrasses, and #saltmarshes, act as #carboncapture champions, storing vast amounts of #carbondioxide in their biomass and surrounding sediments. Blue carbon credit projects focus on protecting or restoring these vital #habitats. The amount of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere or prevented from being released is meticulously measured and verified. Each tonne of #CO2 translates to one tradable blue #carboncredit. Companies and individuals can then purchase these credits to offset their own #carbonfootprint. This not only helps mitigate climate change but also injects valuable funds into conservation efforts. The benefits extend beyond #carbonsequestration, promoting healthier #oceans with increased #biodiversity and even supporting coastal #communities through #jobcreation and #sustainablepractices. While the blue carbon credit market is still evolving and #verification methods are being refined, it holds immense promise for creating a win-win situation for our planet and its inhabitants. #ClimateFastFacts

We've added 1,000 billion tons of CO2 to our atmosphere, and we need to remove it. While emission reductions are crucial, the science is clear: they won't be enough. To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, we must remove billions of tons of carbon annually—around 10 billion tons per year, according to the latest IPCC report. The carbon removal industry isn’t yet at the scale required, but we can't afford to delay. Relying on reductions alone is no longer viable. We've had decades to decarbonize, yet 2023 saw record-high CO2 levels. The time to invest in carbon removal is now. Let's act before it's too late. Engage today, and let's get millions of people raising awareness that large-scale carbon removal, alongside decarbonization, is now essential—not optional—for a stable climate future. Thank you to those leading the movement @RedCarbon.biz and AirMiners community. #CDRnow #carbonRemovalDay

In the battle against climate change, trees are our silent but steadfast allies. They absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, store carbon in their biomass, and release oxygen. This natural process, known as carbon sequestration, plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change. We are committed to maximizing the carbon sequestration potential of our projects while creating beautiful, functional landscapes that enrich the lives of our clients and community. By prioritizing the integration of diverse tree plantings, we can make a significant impact on our environment and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Despite decades of effort, the shift away from reliance on fossil fuels is incredibly slow. Renewables is now mostly cheaper than hydrocarbons in many places. Isn't it time to focus on where climate finance can have the biggest impact? We need more than technical solutions that address carbon sequestration, food insecurity, nature and biodiversity and more. What if, as Sadhguru JV suggests, we focused on soil rather than oil? Farmland could provide nearly 30% of the carbon sequestration need to hit 2C, and getting organic matter in soil to 3-6% could fundamentally transform the underpinning of nature and biodiversity regeneration, towards climate resilience, food security, and planetary regeneration. #climatechange #petrostates #savesoil #carboncapture https://lnkd.in/eHwXxGvT

Forests and oceans act as Earth's natural carbon sinks. Through photosynthesis, trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, storing it within their biomass. Similarly, marine plants and algae capture carbon, transferring it through the food web and eventually to the ocean floor, where it can remain sequestered for centuries. Human activities such as deforestation, pollution inflated by wildfires are disrupting these natural processes. Forests, once vast carbon reservoirs, are cleared at alarming rates, reducing the planet's carbon capture capacity. The fight against climate change and decreasing carbon emission starts with protecting these vital ecosystems and making sure to keep these carbon sinks. https://lnkd.in/dFkbQmNr

Today is Carbon Removal Day. We have much work to do to stabilise our climate. We need to work harder and faster to reduce carbon emissions, but that is not enough. We must also remove 10Gt of carbon every year to keep temperatures from reaching dangerous levels and avoid tipping points! We have the solutions; we need the scale and collective action. It can be done! HyveGeo is at the forefront of this mission. We are committed to removing 1Gt of carbon and regenerating 10,000 hectares of desert land using biochar and microalgae. We aim to mitigate the effects of climate change and improve food security. Biochar can capture as much as 70% of carbon from biomass, and when buried, it can stay in the ground for hundreds or even thousands of years. Let’s build momentum and urgency to accelerate climate action. #CarbonRemovalDay #NetZero #biochar
