Claim

A 98-day river alkalinity-enhancement trial in Norway reported 250 ± 30 tonnes CO2-equivalent of gross carbon dioxide removal after adding 1,480 tonnes of calcite, with no significant increase in most measured adverse water-quality indicators apart from phosphate.

Score: 0.9121 under ledger-default@0.3.0 at snapshot 27745

Main unresolved issue: 4 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:44ce862b-8592-80c4-8c28-21cd11b54403

Not yet independently audited.Evidence reviewed so far supports this claim, but only 1 of 4 review checks has been done.A quoted passage from cdrxiv.org was not found on the page when Galedra fetched it.

Why?

Strongest counted support: The preprint reports trial duration, calcite addition, gross CDR estimate, and the stated water-quality result. weight 1.800000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The passage directly reports the 98-day trial, 1,480-tonne calcite addition, 250 ± 30 tonnes CO2-equivalent gross CDR, and stated water-quality qualification.

Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Unresolved.

How the number was reached

Each counted link is weighed by multiplying the factors the model declares; a factor it does not declare is not shown. Every factor name below links to what that number means.

prior 0.50 → log-odds 0.000000 + 2.340000 (the counted weights) = 2.340000 → probability 0.9121

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.8373 to 0.9544, a spread of 0.1171.

Half-even rounding, six places for weights and four for the probability. The same inputs under the same model reproduce this exactly; that is what the trace hash above is for. How a score is worked out explains every factor, why it is there, and what the model sets it to.

Independent methodology coverage confirms the Kvina project duration and 1,480-tonne additional dose and describes a measurement-and-model framework for quantifying river-mouth DIC and accounting for retention, counterfactual weathering, emissions, and uncertainty.

From How the world's first River Alkalinity Enhancement credits were quantified Read 2026-09-29 Relevance MODERATE Steps 0 Counted

This corroborates the trial setup and quantification context but does not independently reproduce the preprint's 250 ± 30 t CO2e gross estimate.

Evidence against

None.

Qualifications

The 250 ± 30 t CO2e value is a 98-day gross, control-relative estimate for additional calcite within an existing Norwegian liming programme, with phosphate as an exception among measured water-quality indicators and site-specific applicability.

Inferences

Concluded from

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.

Claim edges

None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.

Supported. The main support is: Independent methodology coverage confirms the Kvina project duration and 1,480-tonne additional dose and describes a measurement-and-model framework for quantifying river-mouth DIC and accounting for retention, counterfactual weathering, emissions, and uncertainty. e1ba0296

1 further item repeats the same origin and is not independent evidence. 10cdd744
