Hi all,
This French project, announced in April [1], is the most important
development on CDR (carbon dioxide removal) that I have ever read,
despite no mention of biochar. What prompted this brilliant idea?
Could such projects be urged for all countries, to complement pledges
for emissions reductions at COP21? Then there might be real progress
towards reducing the CO2 level to 350 ppm or below, which Jim Hansen
urges for preventing dangerous global warming and ocean acidification
and other effects [2]. Speed is essential to prevent dangerous ocean
acidification which is already serious at 400 ppm, so 350 ppm may need
to be reached within two or three decades. This sets the urgency for an
aggressive international CDR strategy. An ideal place to announce such
a strategy would be COP21!
Cheers, John

France recently announced a project to increase soil organic matter

minister said would "stock the equivalent of the anthropogenic carbon
gas produced by humanity today."
