The Open Air Collective – a network of people who voluntarily collaborate on shared projects that push Direct Air Carbon Capture forward in the real world – is launching a series of webinars focused on carbon dioxide removal. You can watch below the previous episode of “This is CDR,” which was focused on “rock dust” as a soil amendment that has the potential to remove gigatons of CO2 from the atmosphere in the coming decades.
