Wood Vaulting Emerges as Promising Climate Solution with Potential to Remove Billions of Tons of CO2 Annually
Researchers suggest wood vaulting could remove 12 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere annually. Several startups have already begun implementing this low-tech approach to carbon sequestration through biomass burial projects across the United States.
Simple Climate Solution Gains Scientific Backing
Wood vaulting, a surprisingly straightforward approach to carbon sequestration, could potentially remove 12 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every year, according to a recent study published in Nature Geoscience. The technique involves collecting and burying woody biomass to prevent decomposition, effectively diverting carbon from the fast-paced biological cycle into the much slower geological carbon cycle.
UN Reports Record Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Increase in 2024, Climate Feedback Loops Worsening
The United Nations has announced the largest single-year increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide since records began in 1957. All three major greenhouse gases reached record highs in 2024, according to the World Meteorological Organization’s latest report, raising concerns about climate feedback loops and reduced natural absorption capacity.
Record Greenhouse Gas Levels Reported
The United Nations has announced that the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide from 2023 to 2024 represents the largest single-year jump since modern measurements began in 1957, according to reports released Wednesday. The UN’s weather and climate agency stated that levels of all three main greenhouse gases reached new record highs this year, with the World Meteorological Organization documenting concerning trends across multiple climate indicators.
