Mašek, O.; Buss, W.; Brownsort, P.; Rovere, M.; Tagliaferro, A.; Zhao, L. et al. (2019): Potassium doping increases biochar carbon sequestration potential by 45%, facilitating decoupling of carbon sequestration from soil improvement. In: Scientific reports 9 (1), S. 5514. DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-41953-0.

"Negative emissions technologies offer an important tool to limit the global warming to <2 °C. Biochar is one of only a few such technologies, and the one at highest technology readiness level. Here we show that potassium as a low-concentration additive in biochar production can increase biochar’s carbon sequestration potential; by up to 45% in this study."

"Climate change represents an existential, global threat to humanity, yet its delocalized nature complicates climate action. Here, the authors propose retrofitting air conditioning units as integrated, scalable, and renewable-powered devices capable of decentralized CO₂ conversion and energy democratization."

"CO₂ Solutions Inc. (the "Corporation") (CST.V) is pleased to report that, after only two weeks, it has successfully completed the commissioning of its first commercial carbon capture unit. The project, with Fibrek General Partnership, a subsidiary of Resolute Forest Products Inc. (RFP.TO) (RFP), and Serres Toundra Inc., involved the deployment of a 30-tonne per day (tpd) CO₂ capture unit (the "Unit") and ancillary equipment at the RFP pulp mill in Saint-Félicien, Quebec and the commercial reuse of the captured CO₂ by the adjacent Serres Toundra greenhouse facility."
