Basics
- A Group with some reasonable criticisms of geo-engineering (like solar radiation managment, and ocean fertilization)
- Also is critical of biocar and ccs tech
- Granted pressurized gas storage underground is a huge unknown admittibly, and enhanced recovery negates the purpose of css tech OBIOUSLY
- Need to look into their criticism of CSS, Biomass, and Biochar itself
- They seem to think community focus, and non-industrial farming practices can't go hand in hand with ccs/biochar (again need to read more on if this is how they feel on this)
- They may have good data on meta-analysis of biochar effects
- Need to dig for bias/groups they are tied to, obiously not some oil company lol, but bias may be there
- A Search for decentralized in their in browser search engine came up twice, with it in relation to "decentralized renewable energy"
