Reviewer 2 does geoengineering

What gives biochar its stability? How dependable is its carbon sequestration in soil? How can we optimise its source materials and manufacturing process, to store the maximum amount of carbon? Nikolas Hagemann explains his paper "Permanence of soil applied biochar." https://www.biochar-journal.org/en/ct/109-Permanence-of-soil-applied-biochar

Cafer Yavuz explains his revolutionary process for locking CO2 up into an inexpensive solid salt matrix, which allows it to be stored and transported as easily as sand. Paper: "Synthesis of stable single-crystalline carbon dioxide clathrate powder by pressure swing crystallization" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666386423001510?via%3Dihub

Alistair Duffey picks up the baton from Madelyn Hotaling's previous episode. He gives further comparison of several polar geoengineering technologies: SAI, MCB, CCT, and microspheres. Does any approach offer us a reliable and safe way to target the Arctic?

Ryan Anderson explains how Parallel Carbon calcines limestone at ambient temperature, using a membrane-free aqueous electrolysis process. Could this emergent technology be the cheapest and simplest way to integrate DAC with renewable energy?

Madelyn Hotaling effortlessly bats away a particularly gruesome inquisition from @geoengineering1, defending her work on arctic ice management. FYI paper discussion starts around 19 minutes in. Paper: Comparing Arctic Surface Albedo Modification Geoengineering Solutions
