Research hub

A place for methods, models, and serious carbon-removal questions.

Research is where carbon-removal credibility is won or lost. This hub collects our interactive tooling, the questions we think matter, and an open door for collaboration with academic, laboratory, and field teams.

Open the solar CO₂ lab Propose a collaboration

Featured tool

The solar CO₂-removal lab

An in-browser model of a solar-powered removal plant. Set solar capacity, capacity factor, DAC energy demand, durable-storage fraction, and electricity cost — and read annual clean electricity, gross CO₂ captured, durable removal, share of global emissions, land footprint, and the number of equivalent plants a climate-relevant scale would take. It covers direct air capture, CO₂-to-fuel, enhanced weathering, and biochar without pretending every pathway is automatically permanent removal.

Focus areas

Questions we track

Practical themes where field evidence is still catching up with ambition.

MRV simplification

How measurement, reporting and verification can stay rigorous while becoming affordable for emerging-market deployment contexts.

Biomass & waste streams

Rural biomass and waste-stream opportunities where removal, livelihoods, and soil co-benefits can align — and where feedstock competition can break the math.

Durability narratives

Language and evidence for permanence that survives both technical review and public scrutiny — decades versus centuries versus geological.

Field instrumentation

Low-cost data collection models that make small-site monitoring credible without enterprise budgets.

Open-system measurement

Enhanced weathering and ocean pathways need measurement approaches for systems without walls — the sector's hardest open MRV problem.

Emission-factor transparency

Our own workspace publishes its factor library and lets organisations override values — the same auditability we advocate for everywhere.

Research-to-action path

How ideas move from papers and pilots toward real projects on this platform.

Observe

The daily news signal captures emerging questions from field trials, policy updates, and methodology debates.

Test

The lab turns assumptions into numbers — energy, tonnes, land, cost — before anyone commits capital to them.

Translate

Findings feed the market pulse, the project directory criteria, and ultimately the reporting guidance inside the workspace.
