Swansea University academics have developed a process which converts the carbon found in discarded facemasks to create high-quality single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) which are then used to make Ethernet cable with broadband quality.

This has convinced the Bunloit team and their academic partners to reverse the estate from a ‘net carbon source’ into a ‘net carbon sink’ and take drastic measures such as cutting down the non-native conifer plantations, which are widely grown for timber, pulp, and Christmas trees.

The Climate Action Coalition wants to link business and finance, NGOs, academics and governments to accelerate climate action. The special envoy also cautioned against over-reliance on what she called “niche solutions” – such as carbon offsets and carbon capture and storage (CCS), which are often used to excuse business-as-usual behaviours.

Before the end of the year, it will publish a price for carbon emissions, which Cohen hopes will put an end to one of the many hot and increasingly political debates surrounding the net zero transition. There are lots of prices for the cost of polluting the atmosphere by emitting more CO2.

The lack of transparency in VCMs has driven debate, particularly among academics, on the viability of carbon offsets to effectively drive climate action. “Stakeholders can work together to circumvent the goal of intermediaries and improve transparency.” VCMs: Help or hinder?

MW Bundled Rice Husk Based Cogeneration Plant in India is measured against the same outcome of VCUs as the Afognak Forest Carbon Offset Project in Alaska. This will also create a whole new level of ESG S analysis—that shared value advocates and academic researchers have long argued for. For example, a 1.6

This means the companies are on a pathway to net zero, according to a third-party assessment, but that’s not necessarily the same as targeting net zero by 2050 and may not be consistent with the remaining carbon budget. It may, for example, include predictions on new forms of technology or substantial use of carbon offsets.”

In terms of removing carbon from the atmosphere — the other part of the net-zero equation — new “regenerative” forestry and agriculture projects avoid some of the issues with carbon offsets. Technological solutions to carbon removal — like carbon capture —  are still not cost-competitive but are receiving increased investment.

There’s an academic, philosophical definition, but there’s not a practical definition, nothing that says, ‘It includes this many species.’ While agroforestry is seen as having significant potential for the carbon offset market, its variability makes it a more complicated agricultural investment. What is agroforestry?"

If the CEO of such a bank wants to give her earnings to purchase carbon offsets that would be fine with John Cochrane and Milton Friedman. Researchers at the Federal Reserve of San Francisco and academic economists are actively estimating "climate effect" regressions to document such effects.
