🌱🔍 Questioning Sustainability: What Agricultural Emissions Offer? 🐄 Manure and agri waste, often hailed as a cost-effective resource for biofuel, presents us with a paradox: while it offers renewable energy potential, it also contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. 🤔🌍 As we reflect on the recent commitments made during COP26 by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India towards achieving net-zero by 2070, a critical question arises: How do we tap the opportunity through carbon credit, notably by reducing its methane emissions, with our climate-conscious goals? 🌿 Carbon credits are certificates that represent quantities of greenhouse gases that have been kept out of the air or removed from it. One carbon credit certifies that one metric tonne of carbon dioxide has been removed from the atmosphere. Methane's staggering global warming potential, 21 times higher than CO2, underscores the urgency of addressing emissions from this sector. But amidst this challenge lies opportunity: biogas, derived from waste, contains both methane and carbon dioxide, yet waste conversion technologies offer a means to capture and repurpose these emissions, saving energy in the process. 🔄⚡ As we navigate the complexities of sustainability, let's explore innovative solutions that not only mitigate emissions but also harness them for positive environmental impact. Together, we can pave the way towards a greener and more sustainable future! 🌟🌱 #weekendmotivation #NationalLivestockMission #Sustainability #COP26 #ClimateAction #GreenhouseGasEmissions #Biofuel #WasteConversion #Innovation #NetZero #ClimateChange #RenewableEnergy

Alt Carbon, in partnership with ACPET, hosted the Futures Summit on CO₂ Removal (CDR) At the summit, the discussants deliberated on the distinction between carbon avoidance and carbon removal—two critical strategies in the global climate agenda. Carbon avoidance prevents new emissions, while carbon removal addresses the existing CO₂ in the atmosphere, crucial for reversing the impacts of past emissions and achieving targets like the 1.5°C limit. Some key insights emerged: Surge in Demand for Carbon Removal Credits: As skepticism over avoidance credits grows, there is a rising demand for high-quality removal credits. Global companies like JPMorgan, Microsoft, and Meta are actively investing in initiatives such as Frontier, NextGen, and Milkywire to secure reliable credits that deliver real climate benefits. Global Investments: To meet climate goals, over $32 billion has been invested globally in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies, spanning engineered and nature-based solutions. However, experts noted that demand must grow 3-5 times to sustain and scale these efforts effectively. Governments and private sectors, including the U.S. Department of Energy’s $100 million initiative is stepping up to support the growth of this industry. India’s Role in the Global CDR Landscape: As the world scales up CDR, India stands at a strategic advantage. With its robust manufacturing capabilities, India can become a hub for developing and exporting engineered carbon removal technologies, such as direct air capture and enhanced rock weathering solutions. By aligning policy incentives and investment, India can accelerate its contribution to global climate goals while creating economic opportunities in a growing sector. The summit highlighted the importance of a balanced approach combining emission avoidance and carbon removal to build a sustainable and resilient future for all. #CDR #ClimateAction #Sustainability #FuturesSummit Vaibhav Chowdhary Anandajit Goswami Animesh Ghosh Ilika Mohan Aparna Taparia Kasvi Sansanwal Soumit Pandey Choyichery Surendran Anvesha Adhikari Navya Malik Shrey Agarwal Sparsh Agarwal
