My mission is to develop technology to reverse climate change. With a PhD in Materials Science & Engineering, I’m currently Chief Carbon Scientist and Head of Engineering at Montreal-based Deep Sky, the world’s first gigaton-scale carbon removal project developer.
widely accepted as the one-way door where irreversible climate breakdown starts to occur. In the global fight against climate change, achieving"net-zero" carbon emissions is not just a target; it’s a necessity to limit the Earth’s temperature rise further. Recent research fromhas revealed that the concept of"durability" in carbon dioxide removal — how long captured carbon stays out of the atmosphere — is a critical factor that could make or break climate goals.
Moreover, the scientists advocate for a"like-for-like" approach to neutralization, meaning that fossil-based CO₂ should ideally be balanced by geological or similarly technology-based durable solutions like direct air capture, rather than by short-term, nature-based options like afforestation, which have uncertain durability due to risks like wildfires or deforestation.
Trump’s Cabinet: Here Are His Picks And Finalists For White House Roles—Kristi Noem, Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller And MoreWhile nature-based solutions like reforestation and soil carbon sequestration are crucial for reducing atmospheric CO₂, they have limited longevity and are vulnerable to natural disturbances. For instance, forests can re-release stored CO₂ through wildfires, and carbon in the soil can be depleted by agricultural practices.
This durability standard also has implications for policymakers. To incentivize the development and deployment of durable carbon removal technologies, new policies are needed that reflect the true costs and climate benefits of long-term storage. This may include stricter regulations on carbon offset markets, with limits on the use of temporary removals to offset fossil-based emissions.
