"The Research Associate will support a new pan-European, multi-institution consortium (NEGEM) focused on assessing carbon dioxide gas removal (CDR) options such as bioenergy with CCS (BECCS), direct air capture of CO2 with CO2 storage (DACCS), enhanced weathering, afforestation, soil carbon sequestration and other negative emissions technologies and practices (NETPs)."

Haque, Fatima; Santos, Rafael M.; Chiang, Yi Wai (2020): Optimizing Inorganic Carbon Sequestration and Crop Yield With Wollastonite Soil Amendment in a Microplot Study. In Front. Plant Sci. 11. DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2020.01012.

"This study focuses on sequestering CO₂ in the agricultural soils as inorganic carbon, which can be accomplished by adding alkaline-earth silicates. Wollastonite is used in this study as a soil amendment, to sequester CO₂ via the geochemical route of mineral carbonation."

Carbon 180. 2020: "Leading With Soil: Scaling Soil Carbon Storage in Agriculture."

"For the last three years, Carbon180 has been working with local organizations and agricultural producers across the Rocky Mountain states to harness a climate solution beneath our feet: soil. Agricultural practices that store carbon in the soil can help fight climate change while also improving soil health and increasing producers’ bottom lines. These practices are slowly gaining traction, but need to be scaled more quickly to address climate change. In Leading with Soil: Scaling Soil Carbon Storage we translate lessons from our work into recommendations for new, robust federal policies that can unlock the potential of this powerful climate solution."

"As efforts to wean society off fossil fuels have stalled, "natural climate solutions" such as soil carbon sequestration rapidly have gained steam."
