3 ways to cool the Earth

The problem 
- a simple strategy for C emissions is needed
- Short term/impermanent C removal eg. Forest monocultures via offsetting (with potentially no C emissions reduction of operations) V permanent C removal and real C emissions reduction of operations (for a Net Zero or Net Negative operation)
 - C emission reduction targets are compared to a C intensive baseline year (2005) though I'm not suggesting abandoning them. More action is needed!

A simple strategy algorithm
1. 'Avoid' Carbon emissions  
    1. 'Phase out' fossil fuel and replace with renewable energy 
    2. A 'Fossil Carbon export tax' (and possibly a selective 'Fossil Carbon import tax') could be a good start
2. 'Reduce' C emissions
    1. 'Decarbonisation' eg.Climate Safeguard Mechanism (CSM), though practical in many cases, won't work alone  
3. 'Remove' Carbon emissions 
    1. 250 years of Industrial Carbon emissions, to a degree, still exist in the atmosphere
    2. Arguably the 'Real Transition' where most of the work needs to be done  
    3. 'Recarbonization' and 'Regeneration' with Biochar will work - Carbon can be our friend  
    4. Using 'C negative tech' with biomass waste to Biochar 
 
Recommended objectives for Oz:

- A 'National Pyrolysis Strategy' is needed to build a 'Permanent Carbon removal' economic sector, with a possible National Carbon Removal Marketplace (CRM) to replace ACCUs. Denmark got the ball rolling. It's a new technology and Gov mindset that should be easily politically achievable with the right leadership.
    - eg. Somewhere in the South Australian coastal desert, biomass pellets (made from seawater grown microalgae biomass process waste, after lipid extraction for health supplement and/or biodiesel)->bioelectricity and biochar->Redox Flow Desalination->potable water and energy storage->powering 'Green Hydrogen' electrolysis (potable water or ideally seawater)->H2 for iron ore reduction->'Greener steel' (essential for just about every 'C negative' tech I've researched, designed, built, tested and developed. The pre-commerical aspect needs pre-seed funding and the commercial aspect needs seed funding available or VC, which is a pain in the arse which the minority of punters ever secure)
    - the above idea demonstrates that 'Avoid', 'Reduce' and 'Remove' can all occur in an industrial process chain. 'Avoid' is producing biodiesel for logistics rather than importing hydrocarbon based diesel. 'Reduce' is using 'Green Hydrogen' to decarbonise steel production. 'Remove' is producing biochar for permanent C removal while producing bioelectricity.
- By 2035, 80% of Oz businesses are at least C neutral using a combination of 'Avoid', 'Reduce' and 'Remove', eg.
    - replace/'Avoid' C emitting energy sources with C negative (removing) energy sources and Biochar battery/supercap storage
    - substitute/'Reduce' C emitting products/materials with Biochar based products/materials in supply chains and materials (biosubstitution), for greater circular bioeconomy  ('Carbon Removal in a Cascade of Uses' (CRCU))
    - purchase CDR/BCR credits from ideally a National CRM platform ('Remove') and keep the wealth and 'Regenerative transformation' in the Country, OR
    - purchase CDR/BCR credits from a global CRM platform ('Remove'), such as puro.earth, carbonfuture.earth, milkywire.com et al
- Digital Infrastructure subsidies for SMEs (Large enterprise can pay for it's own)
    - eg. a data pipeline 
        - CRM platform<->Carbon accounting software->ESG reporting + GHG inventory->C emission reduction targets
