🥊 Not one day goes by in which I do not see folks pitting these two approaches against each other. This then plays out in policy, where we see arbitrary hurdles, e.g. permanence thresholds or the lack thereof, created to lock one side out. 💬 And - to be honest - I used to be part of this problem too, actively taking one side only. But the more I speak to policy makers and corporate buyers, the more I realise that what they need is a holistic approach, one which encompasses

🌎 Applications are open for remove's first CDR accelerator dedicated to founders building in Latin America. The region has a strong case for durable carbon removal: ▶️ Natural resources ▶️ Industrial and agricultural systems suited to it ▶️ The world’s largest CDR company Exomad Green 🚀 What's been missing is dedicated program support to get early-stage teams from idea to delivery. 🤩 Introducing remove’s Innaugural Latin American Cohort Programme: an 8-month, two-stage a

🧪 Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is one of the most promising carbon removal methods. But it is complex, and its success depends largely on supportive policy. 💼That’s why Carbon to Sea Initiative - a nonprofit that funds and coordinates scientific research into OAE - is hiring a VP, Global Policy to lead the regulatory, financial, and field conditions OAE research and scale-up depend on. They’re looking for someone with: 🔹15+ years in senior climate / ocean / energy /

🐝 Lots of buzzing about this big drop next week by the EU. If you want to find out what you need to know ahead of time, what to look out for, we’ve got you covered with the latest CDR Policy Scoop Scoop Episode featuring Carbon Gap. Eve Tamme sat down with Francesca Battersby and Louis Uzor from Carbon Gap to unpack: 🔹What integration could actually look like: a public authority or a market led model 🔹 Whether CDR sits below or above the declining cap 🔹 How to close the

☀️ Our family's 70-year-old business in the Dolomites finally runs on solar. Our new system will produce over 500 MWh of clean electricity over its lifetime using 20kW of panels, backed by a 25kW battery in the cellar and an EV charger in the garden. ⚡ Italy already gets 17% of its electricity from solar, with rooftop the fastest-growing segment, thanks to good national subsidies and permitting frameworks. 🧑‍⚖️ However, my local authorities did not make it easy. In order to

♀️Women working tirelessly across five governments and the EU institutions, designing the frameworks for funding and market access that decide whether carbon removal actually scales to climate relevance. 🇨🇭 Switzerland Veronika Elgart, Deputy Head International Climate Policy, BAFU/OFEV Sophie Wenger, Climate Policy Officer, International Climate Policy, BAFU/OFEV 🇳🇴🇸🇪 Nordics Sonia Ruyter, Case Manager, National Centre for CCS, Swedish Energy Agency Ane Gjengedal, Seni

For our second quarterly catch up to chat about: 🎯 Why twenty seven different national CDR targets might actually be better for the sector than one clean EU wide number 🪑 Why nobody in CDR has bothered to fight for a seat at the table in the ReFuelEU Aviation review- but probably should ✈️ How CORSIA's enforcement looks completely different depending on which continent you're standing on 🇳🇴 The Norwegian auction scheme neither of us saw coming. 🏛️ So if you want to find

🤔 Can we leverage future ETS revenues for present day investments into CDR? What would that look like and what would its impact be? 📄 That is the big question Raphaël Cario cario and I are addressing with our new peer-reviewed research paper published by the American University’s Institute for Responsible Carbon Removal . 💶 The idea is not new: use European Investment Bank bonds backed by an ETS1 and ETS2 guarantee base to mobilise up to 200 billions of euros in green inve

📈 Last Friday, an infographic by Propublica went absolutely viral here on LinkedIn. It made a simple point: CCS and CDR suck. 😡 I was irritated to say the least. Starting with the obvious. The infographic - and the accompanying blog post - weren’t great… 1️⃣ It conflated various concepts into one: CCS / DACCS / CDR 2️⃣ It cherrypicked data for dramatic effect, e.g. on historic CCS deployments/capacity ☀️ Yes, solar and renewables are great - I am all for them. But now - in

🖤 No surprises here: I am very passionate about biochar for wildfire prevention, having written and even shot a documentary on it myself (in the comments). 🇺🇸 Now, #forestproud with the support of the USDA Forest Service produced a wonderful 10 minute film on how biochar can help reduce the risk and impact of wildfires in the United States. 🖇️ Check it out in HD on Youtube: https://lnkd.in/eza-Bt3S 🔥 The arrival of summer sadly brings with it wildfires, every year more i
