⚡ Enova, the Norwegian state energy agency, is looking to launch NOACCS (Norwegian Auction Scheme for Carbon Capture and Storage): a competitive auction scheme for carbon capture and permanent geological storage, covering everything from waste incineration and biogas to direct air capture. THE KEY INFO: 🏛️The budget ceiling is €1.7bn but nothing is actually allocated yet. Real funding depends on annual government decisions 🗓️ NOACCS is proposed to run between 2027 and 2032

📙 After two long years of waiting, the third edition of the State of Carbon Dioxide Removal was just published. And it doesn’t disappoint. ✨ >300 pages written by 74 of the sector’s leading voices. The report is remarkable in both its depth and breadth. 🎙️ Luckily, I got a sneak preview and had the whole weekend to devour this beauty. And - alongside Eve Tamme - we already discussed our hot takes on the CDR Policy Scoop for you to listen to. 👀 Check it out here: Podcast:..

🔴 This is not an abstract question. Things go wrong: reversals, non delivery, even fraud. 👮‍♀️ We need to be able to trace the stored carbon from its very source to its final site, including clear legal and liability mechanisms to hold the responsible actors accountable. 💚 That is exactly what Carbonfuture settlement infrastructure enables. 📽️ Check out the short documentary we shot with Ibero Massa Florestal, S.A. in 4k on Youtube for more: https://lnkd.in/deEgPbwT

⚛️ Nuclear energy, geoengineering, clean oil. These are some of the topics I decided to cover in my “Uncomfortable Climate” series so far. 💔 They all have one thing in common: they are controversial and seem to split the climate community into a pro and against camp. 💡 However, in my experience, the story is never black & white. The truth tends to lie in the messy middle. ⁉️ So what topics should I cover next? What polarises our community and would benefit from an open, hon

🌎 No surprises here: I believe the Global South will play a huge role in scaling carbon removal to climate relevance. 📈 It’s for this reason that we founded the Global South CDR Coalition in early 2025. From its humble beginnings, it has now grown into a powerful coalition of the world’s leading GS CDR companies. 🇪🇺 In light of the recent policy developments in Europe - first and foremost the central importance of international credits these days - we are levelling up an

☀️ On Portugal’s coast, my adopted home, summers are hot and the wind quickly dries out any soil. My first summer there, I saw the impact on my terraced garden first hand: daily watering. 🪨 Time to superpower my fruit and veg, using the black gold I write about so much: biochar. 🚿 Did you know that biochar increases plant-available water by up to 30%, can reduce nutrient leaching by up to 60%, and improves soil aggregate stability. Ah, and it also stores carbon for hundreds

🇪🇺 Tomorrow, I will be travelling to Brussels for the highly anticipated CRCF Days: the first open CDR conference organised by the European Commission! 👂 What is the future of the EU Buyers Club? Is CRCF operationalisation on track? I look forward to getting answers to these questions and will be recording a CDR Policy Scoop episode with Eve Tamme on the ground to share our learnings. 🥂 I will also be attending the Carbon Management Europe and Negative Emissions Platform

🗣️ Gave this short speech at a dinner at Zurich Climate Week and I thought you might all enjoy it. 🌟 Bold statement: 2026 is going to be - by far - the best year for CDR policy yet. 🏛️ There are dozens of people in government working full time on CDR. Hundreds part-time. Thousands who are aware of CDR and support it. 🇨🇭 If you want to hear a concrete example check out the CDR Policy Scoop on inter-governmental CDR transactions that Eve Tamme and I recorded at Zurich Clim

⚛️ For most of my life, nuclear power felt like a betrayal of everything I stood for. 🍄 Growing up in the Alps, I was told which mushrooms to avoid in the forests near my home still radioactive from Chernobyl. The Greenpeace magazine I read told me nuclear power was the enemy of the planet. When Fukushima hit and Merkel announced Germany's nuclear exit, I strongly believed we were standing on the right side of history. 📊 The science was never ambiguous. Nuclear is statisti

🤷 Depending on who you ask, nuclear power is either humanity's best shot at a liveable planet or an expensive, dangerous distraction that we've already wasted too much time on. Recently, the technology that environmentalists spent decades fighting is suddenly everywhere: ☢️ Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta have collectively contracted for over 13 gigawatts of nuclear power. ☢️Global nuclear generation hit a record high in 2025 and is set to keep climbing. ☢️ Investment i

😮 Today, Exomad Green announced they passed 2Mt of biochar carbon removal (BCR) sold. That is huge. ✅ The best bit? At almost 400Kt delivered - by far the most of any CDR company in the world - they are the living proof that BCR can scale both sales AND deliveries. 🇨🇭Great catching up with Diego Justiniano and Francesco Guglielmi at Zurich Climate Week to celebrate this milestone. 👀And I hear this won’t be the last big news of the week from Exomad… watch this space.

👨‍🍼 I have had a lot of “firsts” this year as a new parent. First laugh. First Christmas. First meal. Each new milestone presents an opportunity to take stock and reflect. 😥 Let’s be honest. It’s been a ROUGH year. For the climate, for the world, and certainly for me personally. 🏔️ One solace I have is retreating back to nature. And in these last 9 months, I have spent a lot of time in nature with my daughter - basically daily - sharing my love for the mountains and the s

🇦🇺 Australia's biochar potential is bigger than most people realise. 📊 When Andrew Lenton at CSIRO - Australia’s science agency - ran the numbers for the first national CDR roadmap, biochar came out stronger than expected. 🔥 In Australia, over 50 million tonnes of biomass residues are currently burned, landfilled, or wasted every year. Post-cyclone timber in the north. Invasive mesquite spreading across Western Australia. Bushfire-damaged wood across the country. 🪨 Unsur

👂 I keep hearing this. And - on the surface - it makes sense. Every ton we do not reduce will have to be removed. 📈 However, the simple economics of abatement and removals tell a different story: The less we reduce, the more unlikely we will remove. To understand this argument, we need to look at two cost curves: 🔴 Carbon dioxide removals (CDR): this one is straight-forward. Using a blended ton of durable removal, we are averaging $310/t today and predictions see us gettin

🌲 Are you working on mangroves, reforestation, or agroforestry projects? Then make sure to check out Symbiosis Coalition 's latest request for proposals. 😮 If you are unfamiliar with Symbiosis: it is a 20Mt advance market commitment (AMC), bringing together the who's who of corporate carbon credit buyers with the aim to lay the foundation for the next generation of nature-based carbon removal projects. 💪 It's great to see mangroves included for this round, given they stor

🇮🇹 If you live or happen to be in Italy next week, make sure to join us in Padova for the launch event of the Rete Italiana Rimozione Carbonio (RIRC) . 📅 Tuesday 14th of April, 3-6pm - you can sign up here: https://luma.com/oc2kvtaf 💪 It's the first time the Italian CDR community will gather. Hopefully the start of a movement akin to what we have seen in Germany and France. 🍝 And, Italy being Italy, there will be plenty of socialising over delicious food and wine. 👋 C

⚡ Something remarkable is happening in energy. The technology that environmentalists spent decades fighting is suddenly everywhere. ☢️ Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta have collectively contracted for over 13 gigawatts of nuclear power. Global nuclear generation hit a record high in 2025 and is set to keep climbing. Investment in nuclear has risen 50% in five years and is expected to exceed $70 billion in 2025 alone. 🔄 The nuclear narrative is changing rapidly, alongside i

📣 No surprises here: I believe the EU holds the key to scaling carbon removal policy. As such, I am thrilled to join the Board of Negative Emissions Platform (NEP), Europe’s most established industry voice for CDR. 🙋🏻 Formally, I took over the Carbonfuture seat a month ago from Leila Toplic and hold it until the next election this June. Then hopefully beyond that. 🌍 I look forward to joining Sacha Corby, PhD , Dirk Paessler , Rafael Broze (Microsoft), Johan Bör
