1 prediction · 7 assertions · 3 opinions · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertions are the 8 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 6 are resolved, 1 is not yet assessed, and 1 names no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

The record, in short

What the tape says about how Savvy argues and how the claims held up. Everything they said, and everything said about them, is in the tabs below.

Their most notable supported claim

Assertion Supported
Bowman: UN Draft Guidance Asserts Engineered Carbon Removal Is Unproven
“The Article VI supervisory body issued a guidance in May of this year, which by the way is not formally approved yet, and included a technical note that states that engineered carbon removal activities Do not contribute to sustainable development. The proposal…”

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Savvy Bowman on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.

Opinion
Bowman: Carbon removal is proven tech; the real issue is scale
“This is a proven technology, and we have the ability to develop this technology now. I think the question that we really should be focused on is scale.”
Savvy Bowman Aug 23, 2023 ▶ 6:16 As debate over carbon removal swirls, America steps up funding
Opinion
Bowman: UNFCCC should align with IPCC and embrace carbon removal
“But I think that the UNFCCC should be aligning closely to the IPCC report's definition of carbon dioxide removal. In that it is a solution that's part of the puzzle to reaching our net zero goals.”

Assertion Supported
Bowman: DOE Launches World's First Direct Government Carbon Removal Purchasing Program
“The notice of intent last Thursday covers that sixty million of the funds will actually go towards direct your capture, but I think what's even more exciting is the Track Two CDR purchase pilot, because this is allocating thirty-five million, roughly over seve…”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Bowman: US On Track to Reach 1B Tons Carbon Removal by 2030
“I'd like to think that by the end of the decade, We're gonna see even more wins because of these catalytic mechanisms that have paved the way for American innovation to really take the forefront. We are on track to reach that first billion metric tons.”
Savvy Bowman Aug 23, 2023 ▶ 21:31 As debate over carbon removal swirls, America steps up funding
Assertion Supported
Bowman: Global Direct Air Capture Capacity Sits at 7,000 Tons Annually
“DAC is actually currently Hovering around 7000 metric tons annually globally.”

Assertion Partly supported
Bowman: DAC Uses Less Land and Captures Carbon Faster Than Trees
“But if we're talking about the square footage it requires to, you know, plant trees and have that carbon dioxide removed over time versus the square footage it requires, or a DAC unit might require to remove carbon dioxide in a given time, the DAC unit is goin…”

Opinion
Bowman: Liquid Solvents May Reach Low Cost Faster Than Solid Sorbents
“While, you know, liquid solvents are expected to come closer to that low cost faster compared to solid sorbents, it's still uncertain which technology will be low cost as more projects develop.”
Savvy Bowman Aug 23, 2023 ▶ 11:47 As debate over carbon removal swirls, America steps up funding
Assertion Supported
Bowman: Global Carbon Removal Must Reach 10 Gigatons Annually by 2050
“The National Academies of Science estimates that we will need to remove 10 gigatons that's ten billion metric tons of carbon dioxide yearly by twenty-fifty, and then doubling that by 2100.”

Assertion Open · timeframe Aug 2028
Bowman: South Texas DAC Hub Will Remove 1M Metric Tons Annually
“South Texas, that's the South Texas DAC Hub, being, ah, led by 1.5, a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum, and the tech provider for this particular project is Carbon Engineering. They will be removing a million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually and storin…”

Assertion Supported
Bowman: DOE Targets $100 Per Ton Inclusive Carbon Removal Cost
“The Carbon Negative Shot program is actually a really important DOE initiative because it looks to deploy a suite of carbon removal solutions to reach a hundred dollars per metric ton of carbon removed. So that's an all-inclusive cost.”
