Looking at land use for climate/decarb and wondering when we're going to start really grappling with the point that some of the "we will need a land area the size of Iowa" points actually all literally mean that we need Iowa

Our new paper in PNAS: Least-cost targets and avoided fossil fuel capacity in India’s pursuit of renewable energy. pnas.org/content/118/13/e200…
Excited to use this (free!) primer for teaching a #climate solutions course! I contributed to chapter 3, where we’ve synthesized the latest knowledge on opportunities for biological and technological #carbonremoval systems and identified fruitful avenues for future work.
Super excited to announce the launch of a new Primer on Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) cdrprimer.org (1/9)

Check out my and @ranjit_energy's piece for TheConversation Africa on why recent revival of plans for the Inga 3 mega #hydropower project in the #DRC remains a high risk and high cost choice compared to #windenergy and #solarenergy alternatives.
Why wind and solar would offer the DRC and South Africa better energy deals than Inga 3 bit.ly/39lZdTn
