China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies.
It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

Living with Longcovid. Month 26. These pills helps me to function better for 14 days. All based on scientific medical papers, extensive on/off experiments, physician conversations and ongoing blood monitoring.
Try to avoid COVID infections!

Sometimes two concepts at opposing ends of a solution spectrum can both make sense. Two biochar companies in our CDR portfolio are an excellent example: Their approaches to biomass pyrolysis could not be any more different from each other.

We measured the strongest enhanced weathering signals from rock dust applications in the first year of our experiment.

I decided that one of my skills/talents will remain commerce free forever - while still being ambitious with it. Other skills I subordinate relentlessly into the current purpose/long-term goal.

If you are actively running EW projects you will be interested in Cascade's latest project! They are currently seeking partners to host and operate experimental field trials across diverse geographies - something we direly need!

The best founders manage to make complex relationships easy to understand.
For years, one of my roles at Paessler was that of “user experience expert.” I needed to bridge the gap between the programmers, who usually do not have a good feel for the user’s point of view, and our customers.

Can you sell carbon removal online with paid ads – profitably?
We just published a short experiment that explores a very practical question for the CDR ecosystem:
Could paid online ads actually work for selling carbon dioxide removal?

We are now mixing our own soils for our EW greenhouse experiments… Out of 4 base substrates. Let me explain!
Last year we set out to build a greenhouse experiment based on as many soils as we could get our hands on (and which would be diverse enough to make sense).

Tesla stops producing their Model S, the most important car in the history of electric cars. 10 years ago the Model S demonstrated that everything necessary for a day-to-day car was already available. I ordered my Model S early 2018 when less than 0,5% of new cars in Germany...

Agriculture can be one of the most powerful climate tools we have. That is why we are excited to back Cotierra.
Across the global south, millions of tonnes of coffee and cocoa residues are burned or wasted every year.

We are (again) preparing new soils for additional pot experiments in our greenhouse. Over the next weeks we are adding about 80 new lysimeters to our large scale enhanced weathering experiment (bringing us to over 400 pots). Photos show our work with a soil we call „Marsland“...

Let us take you on a guided tour through the EW data of our multi-year greenhouse experiment!
With over 400 weathering experiments running for 12-36 months we have gathered ten-thousands of data points from leachate, biomass, soils, rock dusts and ambience. This is a treasure chest of data!

Small sieves, and a huge pile of soil.
@ralfsteffens.bsky.social, Jens Hammes, and I combined two horizons of a German podsoil and homogenized them, and then we had to sieve out the rocks and plants/roots. It took our team a full day to sieve this pile of soil.

In the early years at Paessler, around the turn of the millenium, there was no separation of roles. I “was” the company and I was the only employee, and whatever needed doing next was what I worked on.
