🇩🇪 Another awesome job opportunity at the Deutscher Verband für negative Emissionen e.V. (DVNE) ! Shape the future of CDR in one of the leading countries globally: Germany. ✅ If you follow the DVNE, you will have noticed that we organise tons of events, including world first’s like the Experience Tour last year (next one this June!). 👩‍💻 Making these happen takes a LOT of work and dedication. 💚 Peaked your interest? The DVNE is looking for an Event Manager to complement

🤔 Is European industry losing its competitiveness because of the EU ETS, as Italy and many other countries are arguing? Not according to Denmark! 💪 In fact, the relentless climate pioneer think the ETS is not going far enough. 🇩🇰 Denmark just introduced a national CO2 tax of €17/tCO₂e in 2026, increasing annually to roughly €48–50/tCO₂e from 2030 for ETS-covered installations. This means that facilities in Denmark will have to pay the ETS price PLUS the domestic tax. 🪜

🪨 To figure out how, we at the CDR Policy Scoop spoke to Maureen Walsh , Executive Director of the US Biochar Coalition (USBC) . 💡 Tune into our latest episode to find out how biochar has managed to navigate this administration, what bills are currently in the pipeline, what other CDR approaches can learn from this, and so much more. 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eThC8SCp ▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eD7s7SBd 💚 This was a bit of a homecoming for me. I was one

📑 Today, Carbon Gap is releasing yet another gem: its Spain CDR Readiness Report. 💪 The one line takeaway: no other country in Europe can match the sheer potential of Spain when it comes to CDR, yet the country is far from realising this potential. First, let’s look at why Spain is so well placed: ⚡As fossil fuel prices soar, Spain’s bet is paying off: 55.5% of electricity renewables, with a target of 81% by 2030 building an industry expected to be worth €308b and 560,00

💡 The question is when, not if, China will become a - or the - global leader in carbon removals. 🤩 I remain puzzled how little is reported about the status quo and potential. As such, I was thrilled to see this study by Han et al (2026) which looks at the potential of retrofitting China’s existing biomass plants (N = 426) with pyrolysis units for residual biomass only. 📈 What did it find? Up to 30Mt of carbon removal per year through BCR could be done through retrofitting

💚 While several EU member states are taking stabs at dismantling the ETS, Spain is coming out in its defense: President Pedro Sánchez explicitly described the EU ETS as the “cornerstone” of EU climate policy and opposes proposals to weaken or suspend the system. 🤷 Why would Spain take such a different stance to Germany, Italy, and many others? ⚡ Already today, Spain is generating 56% of its electricity and 42% of its energy consumption from renewables. As a result, Spain i

😮 Prime Minister Mark Carney published a letter in support of carbon removals to mark the occasion of Carbon Removal day in Canada. 💚 We at the CDR Policy Scoop had the honour of having Senator Colin Deacon 🇨🇦🇺🇦 on, who is living proof for why everyone in CDR is so excited about Canada: it is rare to get a policy maker with this level of expertise, coupled with genuine enthusiasm, and clear communication. 😍 Enjoy this episode! 🎬 Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/e9U

📈 Love it or hate it, but humanity is flying more and more. The sector is growing at 3-4% a year and it’s been estimated that 2 billion annual journeys today will become 10 billion by 2050, with emissions more than doubling to over 2Gt. 🎯 Thankfully, aviation has a collective, global net-zero target for 2050. According to IATA, the plan is to achieve this by primarily focusing on sustainable aviation fuel to do around 65% of the job. Technology innovation will reduce a fur

Europe’s flagship climate policy - the EU ETS - has come under heavy attack lately. Its cost on carbon is seen as unsustainable and unfair to European industry. ⚠️ As a result, member states are asking for changes, delays, and even suspension. 🤔 But could CDR be a solution here? 📈 First, let’s start with the status quo: the cost of carbon in the ETS is going to increase - by design: estimates put it at around €150/t in 2030, €200/t in 2035, €270/t in 2040 and >€600/t in 205

😅 For the past year, policy news coming out of the U.S. have been confusing at best. Whenever I tried to figure out what was going on, I ended up with more questions than answers. No more. 🤩 Over the last week, two podcasts were released with the same objective: clearing the air. First, the Carbon Curve featured Giana Amador , Erin Burns , and Peter Minor for a round-table. Then - great minds think alike - we at the CDR Policy Scoop released an episode with Professor

🪓 Are you following how Italy is trying to break Europe’s most successful climate policy? 🫣 As an Italian myself, this is not easy to write. But it is necessary. 🏭 Here is how: under Article 6 of the just passed €3b “Decreto Bollete”, the Italian government would reimburse gas-fired power plants for the exact costs linked to ETS compliance. 📉 Without touching the ETS itself, Italy's move, if approved or replicated, could become a template that structurally undermines the
