1/3 of the UK's emissions are from heating, also in the UK most housing has a supply of gas, not something common in other countries.

When you turn Trees to Timber, you make it more worthwhile to keep that carbon locked up instead of burning it. We can't guarantee a forest won't be destroyed, but we can be pretty sure the timber from a forest will be used and not destroyed. This is how Puro Earth thinks of industrial carbon removal. They focus on scaling verified industrial processes that store CO2 for the long term in already mature technologies, like biochar, wooden and carbonated building materials.…

It makes it hard for insurance companies to evaluate your risk and banks to lend you money which means less renewable sites get built. ENIAN has built a platform that makes it easier for companies to plan and finance renewable energy.…
