Bridging time lags in durable carbon removal on working lands

Year: 2025

Type: preprint

Abstract: Enhanced weathering and biochar application on working lands show promising signs of delivering durable carbon dioxide removal required to meet internationally agreed upon climate change mitigation goals. Although both technologies can scale comparatively quickly, their ability to offset radiative forcing from anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is delayed by time lags between deployment and realized carbon removal. Here, we suggest that coupling enhanced weathering and biochar with point-source methane emissions reductions provides a robust crediting framework for carbon credits that can continuously-and immediately-offset anthropogenic emissions.
