Also, CDR is not inherently limited. It is theoretically possible to remove more carbon than we will ever need, for example, imagine fleets of nuclear power plants just running DAC on top of geological storage in the desert of Oman. 3/3

Some aspects of CDR is limited, like land, but for example, capturing waste biomass by making biochar does not deplete any resources. Similarly, direct air capture takes a lot of energy, but the alternative to DACCS may be equally or even more energy intensive, such as electrofuels. 2/3

I commented on LinkedIn saying: Thanks for sharing. This argument from their essay that "CDR’s availability is limited by resource needs and feasibility, much like conventional depletable resources" is common, but I think it is overly simplified. 1/3

"Customers, not the airlines" I meant to write. Thinking of company customers in this case.

I wrote a paper with carbon gap on that: carbongap.org/bridging-the-c…
(Flying is hard to abate though, but its customers that airlines that can afford to take responsibility for those emissions.)

What I think you miss is that it's those that can afford to pay for CDR that we should ask to do it. Those companies often have lower budget needs for reductions internally. Hard to abate companies have huge internal needs and should spend less on external things like CDR.

2) No one should make claims on non delivered tonnes (is it clear that they are doing that?). The CDR.fyi data is correct btw, deliveries are in the future
3) No one should use removals as a way to incentivize consumption, or more flying.

A few things to unpack here, thanks for the article, much of the Shopify comms and internal programs were news to me. The points where I agree: 1) Non permanent credits should not be used for neutrality claims.
