Nice and timely move: « EU bans ‘misleading’ environmental claims that rely on offsetting—Terms such as “climate neutral” or “climate positive” that rely on offsetting will be banned from the EU by 2026 as part of a crackdown on misleading environmental claims »

I tend to be wary of #CarbonCredit offsets, as i've seen enough reports about them being often complete bullshit, and at best very hard to verify, but I've been made aware of #recoolit today (https://www.recoolit.com/post/no-refrigerant-left-behind) and found the idea pretty convincing, they target one specific problem (refrigerants being vented to the atmosphere), they do the work to prevent it, and sell the credits after the fact to pay the bills and keep going.
So i went for it https://registry.recoolit.com/purchases/4fb10ba4-439c-4fd5-a3ea-58a53c331501
They have more to sell.

‼️Check out our new paper “Air-sea carbon dioxide equilibrium: Will it be possible to use seaweeds for carbon removal offsets?” Here, we explain why quantifying air-sea CO2 equilibrium and linking this process to seaweed carbon storage pools is the critical step needed to verify CDR by discrete seaweed beds and nearshore and open ocean aquaculture systems prior to their use in carbon trading.

Air-sea CO2 equilibrium and the fate of the water parcel that bears the CO2-deficit that resulted from seaweed net photosynthesis. Air-sea CO2 exchange is indicated on the upper left side of each figure, but this process occurs across all water bodies illustrated.
Schematic linking the two processes that are critical for MRV to assess whether discrete seaweed beds and onshore or offshore seaweed farms can be used in carbon trading schemes as offsets or credits. Air-sea CO2 equilibrium is illustrated on the top left, but this process occurs in all water bodies illustrated. Black text and lines depict the various ways in which the seawater that bears the CO2 deficit may move away from the seaweed bed in which the CO2 was photosynthetically fixed. To assess CO2 equilibrium, the water parcel must be followed for weeks to months in natural coastal systems (illustrated here), whereas in the open ocean (ocean afforestation) the time scale of tracking the water is months to years.
