Alt Carbon scores $12M seed to scale carbon removal in India
- Alt Carbon has raised $12 million in a seed round to scale its carbon dioxide removal work in India, focusing on enhanced rock weathering on farmlands.
- The startup was founded by siblings Shrey and Sparsh Agarwal, who transitioned from a struggling family tea estate to this innovative climate venture.
- Alt Carbon utilizes waste basalt rock dust to remove carbon dioxide, improve soil fertility, and enhance crop yields, with plans to expand to 500,000 hectares of land.
- Their approach involves spreading rock dust on farm fields, where it reacts with rainwater to store carbon in the soil as stable bicarbonate ions for thousands of years.
- The startup estimates its carbon credits at $270 per metric ton, offering a cheaper alternative to direct air capture credits, with a goal to reduce costs further in the future.
- Alt Carbon uses rail and diesel trucks for transportation, avoids dedicated rock processing, and has developed a proprietary combination called Hari Maati for farmers.
- The startup employs measurement layers, including reactive transport models and machine learning-driven modeling, adhering closely to carbon removal registry standards.
- Alt Carbon has received approvals from intergovernmental organizations, employs 8 to 10 PhDs, and plans to expand its labs and hardware studio for data collection and analysis.
- The startup secured pre-purchases and advanced market commitments from companies like Stripe, Alphabet, and Meta, as well as a strategic partnership with NextGen for scaling enhanced rock weathering.
- Alt Carbon signed an offtake agreement with Japan's MOL Group to purchase carbon removal credits and is set to deliver its first carbon credits through Isometric within a month.

China’s Urban Tree Cover Surges Unevenly in Decade
- Urban trees are increasingly recognized for their vital ecosystem services in cities, but monitoring tree cover on a large scale is challenging due to evolving urban landscapes and data limitations.
- A study using nanosatellite imagery provides insights into the extent and dynamics of urban tree cover across major Chinese cities, revealing significant but uneven expansion over a decade.
- China has actively promoted urban greening initiatives through policies like large-scale planting campaigns and green infrastructure investments, leading to an average urban tree cover of 11.47% in studied cities by 2019.
- 76% of cities experienced an increase in tree cover from 2010 to 2019, with mega-cities like Shanghai and Beijing demonstrating notable growth exceeding the national average.
- Disparities in tree cover growth were observed across different urban land use types, with public service areas and residential neighborhoods showing significant gains compared to commercial and industrial districts.
- The use of nanosatellite technology allowed for detailed mapping of urban tree cover, highlighting the role of vegetation in mitigating urban challenges and promoting human well-being.
- While the study reflects positive trends in urban greening, it also emphasizes the need for tailored policies to address inequalities, ensure tree survival amidst urban pressures, and adapt to climate change.
- The findings underscore the importance of long-term monitoring of urban tree dynamics and the potential of innovative technologies to inform data-driven policy interventions and urban planning strategies.
- As urbanization continues globally, enhancing urban green infrastructure will be crucial for building sustainable and equitable cities, with remote sensing data playing a key role in these efforts.
- This research sets a foundation for optimizing urban forestry strategies and emphasizes the significance of integrating technology, policy, and public engagement in fostering green and resilient urban environments.

Human SLC35B1 Powers Stepwise ATP ER Transport
- Recent research has identified human SLC35B1 as the key transporter for ATP entry into the ER, a groundbreaking discovery after three decades of investigation.
- SLC35B1 differs from other transporters in substrate specificity, efficiently transporting ADP and ATP to support the ER's energy-demanding processes.
- This finding is crucial for understanding intracellular nucleotide trafficking, especially in maintaining ER homeostasis during cellular stress.
- Structurally, SLC35B1 features a unique substrate cavity that accommodates ATP molecules in a bent conformation, requiring a stepwise translocation strategy for transport.
- The transporter's mechanism involves ATP binding to specific regions, such as hydrophobic patch interactions and ligand repositioning facilitated by gating helices.
- SLC35B1's transport cycle includes vertical displacement of the ATP molecule and conformational shifts in gating helices for controlled translocation across the ER membrane.
- The transporter exhibits complex intermediates in its transport cycle, suggesting a sophisticated mechanism similar to mitochondrial carriers for nucleotide movement.
- The discovery of SLC35B1 raises questions about regulating nucleotide supply during cellular energy fluctuations and its potential implications for ER stress-related diseases.
- Understanding SLC35B1 could offer insights into maintaining proteostasis, regulating energy distribution, and exploring therapeutic targets for ER stress-related disorders.
- By integrating cryo-electron microscopy, biochemical kinetics, and genetic perturbation, this research provides a dynamic mechanistic model for transporter function at atomic resolution.
