Adding this one, we are spending a lot of time getting all the calculations on sequestrations right, here is some deeper information on this. https://carbonplan.org/research/ton-year-explainer

Thanks for spotting this! we have now updated our website:)

Thanks both for very good ideas! We haven’t explored these ideas yet, but definitely interesting thoughts to consider as we build Sky Roads!

Thanks! We are hard at work at our hyper scale mode these days and looking for team members that can help us on the road to carbon negativeness.

thanks, great fungi question thread! It's true fungi can digest lignin. Based on our experience and tests done on our roads by the Norwegian Road Authority, our roads have very long durability, most of the time longer than expected from normal roads, so it seems that fungi hasn't been a problem on our roads so far. The lignin is mixed in and stored underground (spread in the 10 inches layer) and some of it will degrade over time and become part of the soil environment. We will need to test other binder formulas more extensively in warmer areas with more fungi, and create a portfolio of binders suitable for all environments :)

We are working working with some awesome scientists at https://www.nmbu.no/en and we will dig deeper into global fungi tactics together with them

Thanks for the comment and totally agree! We've worked through our calculations with one of the leading lignin producers globally and other experts. We either have or are working on third party validation for all of our data to make sure we also can provide high quality carbon credits.
