The latest on managed mine tailings & enhanced weathering—w/ Dr. Greg Dipple of UBC Apr 13, 2020

The mining industry has a reputation for being a villain in the environmental space. But enhanced weathering and managed mine tailings could change that, giving mines the ability to capture and store carbon long-term. So, what does that process look like? What have we learned from the research thus far? And why doesn't the idea get more attention in the carbon removal space?

Dr. Greg Dipple is a Professor of Geology in the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of British Columbia—Vancouver,and a podcast alumnus! On this bonus episode of Reversing Climate Change, Greg joins Ross to give us an update on his research around carbon mineralization in mine tailings, reminding us how the process works and explaining why it's not already common practice.

Greg describes his team's field pilot experiments with concentrated flue gas and direct air capture, discussing how these processes, implemented at scale, could make mining operations carbon neutral—or even net negative. Listen in for insight on how the Coronavirus is impacting scientific research and learn how carbon mineralization in mine tailings could make the industry a hero in the fight against climate change.

This episode is jointly released as Carbon Removal Newsroom episode #48.

Key Takeaways

[2:20] The focus of Greg's research

Combine CO2 with metals from mine waste
Form metal carbonate minerals
Store for hundreds of thousands of years
Potential to make mines net negative

[5:50] Why carbon mineralization isn't already common practice

Must tailor approach to geological deposit, local climate
Field pilot last summer at diamond mine in NW Territories
Direct air capture experiment at FPX in BC this summer

[9:55] The problems Greg is solving through these experiments

Design processes in lab to overcome rate limits
Test acceleration strategies on active mine site

[12:39] Why carbon mineralization in mine tailings doesn't get more hype

More attention in mining-focused areas like Canada
Verification through peer-review process before publishing results

[16:07] How the Coronavirus is impacting the pace of scientific research

Greg's team still very productive from home
At least half of 2020 field projects delayed

Can mangrove conservation pay for itself in flood protection? Apr 03, 2020

Dr. Michael W. Beck, professor at the University of California Santa Cruz, coauthored a new paper in Scientific Reports entitled, "The Global Flood Protection Benefits of Mangroves". Today we dig into how mangroves work against flooding, their carbon sequestration potential, how to quantify their financial benefit, and how that helps make them legible to financial systems.

California's Getting to Neutral report from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Mar 09, 2020

The State of California has set a goal of becoming net-zero by 2045. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's researchers have produced a report called Getting to Neutral: Options for Negative Carbon Emissions in California, detailing the various pathways available to California using actually-existing carbon removal technologies needed to do so. Carbon180's Managing Director, Giana Amador, is on the show to explain how this process works, the report's contents, and what happens now.

The boom in carbon removal legislation and funding Mar 04, 2020

Prior to the end of 2019, the US government had devoted a miniscule $11.5M to direct air capture initiatives. But the tide is changing on the Hill. The Department of Energy (DOE) recently received its first ever dedicated carbon removal funding, and there are a number of bills in Congress promoting the advancement of negative-emissions technology.

Erin Burns is the Director of Policy and Ugbaad Kosar is the Senior Policy Advisor at Carbon180, a climate-focused NGO that partners with policymakers, scientists and businesses to advance solutions that transform carbon from a liability to an asset. On this episode of Carbon Removal Newsroom, Erin and Ugbaad join Ross to discuss the policy proposals involving carbon removal currently making their way through Congress.

Erin and Ugbaad walk us through the CLEAN Future Act, explaining what makes the bill important and what differentiates it from other climate legislation. They also address the House Republican climate package (which includes an extension of 45Q) and the SEA FUEL Act, a bill funding carbon capture by way of military vehicles. Listen in for insight around the current progress of the USE IT Act and learn about the potential for forthcoming carbon removal legislation—and funding—on the land side.

Nori has a Patreon for its podcasts with various perks for supporters. Check it out!

The Green Amendment Movement, carbon removal, and Andrew Yang Sep 30, 2019

The Green Amendment Movement is an effort to constitutionally protect the environment, and Maya van Rossum has been leading this charge. Two states have them, most do not, and others are working on it. Andrew Yang recently announced his support for such an amendment at the federal level, which had us wondering: if governments are constitutionally required to provide a clean environment and stable climate, does that obligate their support for carbon removal?

Project Vesta for olivine drawdown leaves stealth mode May 01, 2019

Olivine is a mineral that can sequester carbon dioxide through weathering. It's also one of the most common minerals in the Earth's upper mantle. A lot of it is just sitting around as waste rock from other mining operations. Project Vesta is working to turn olivine from waste into value, reverse climate change, and deacidify the world's oceans. Project Vesta cofounder Eric Matzner comes on the show to tell us how that works and what they're up to.
