Akshay<p>As this is Mastodon, let me pre-emptively point out that, yes, these scientists are aware that &gt;90% of teaching Climate Neutrality is about emissions reductions, not removals.</p><p>The IPCC is also aware of this, as am I at the European Commission.</p><p>All these people already wrote reports on that, this one is about land sinks and technological removals. </p><p><a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Climate</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/ClimateScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateScience</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EU</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Europe</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/ClimatePolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimatePolicy</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/LandUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LandUse</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Removals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Removals</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/CCS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CCS</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/BECCS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BECCS</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/DACCS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DACCS</span></a></p>

Doug Bostrom<p>"OTEC is a form of electricity production that exploits the temperature difference between deep and shallow ocean waters, and can power DACCS on floating platforms at a price competitive with coal-generated electricity... We show that a safe and sustainable level of OTEC-generated electricity powering DACCS for 70 years could result in up to a 35% decrease in the relative global mean temperature warming compared to a business-as-usual emissions scenario."</p><p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/daccs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>daccs</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-86042-7" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/s41598-025</span><span class="invisible">-86042-7</span></a></p>
