🔥 Calling all my BIOCHARRIES 🔥
🫶 You know who you are. 📈 The 2025 Global Biochar Survey is now live. It’s our chance to understand how biochar is being produced, used, and scaled worldwide. The 2023 report highlighted: ◾Revenues from biochar exceeded $600M USD in 2023 (CAGR of 97% from 2021-2023) ◾ Revenues projected to grow further to nearly $3.3 Billion by 2025 ◾ The CDR markets for biochar carbon credits are thriving, the majority of biochar producers do not generate Biochar Carbon Removal (BCR) credi

🤔 What comes after net-zero? And should you care?
⚠️ The IPCC is clear: we have to achieve net-zero CO2 by 2050. This is and has been the global rallying cry since 2018. 📉 What is less talked about: net-zero is not enough. Because every credible IPCC 1.5 °C and most 2 °C pathway assumes we overshoot our carbon budget — and must therefore spend part of the second half of the century removing more CO₂ than we emit. Some governments have already recognised it and are proactively developing roadmaps for this net-negativity. 🇸�

My Top 5️⃣ CDR Substacks
🤓 I’ve always appreciated when smart people take the time to structure and share their thoughts. Increasingly, I am finding that Substack is where I find this content, particularly long-reads. 🗞️ So if you want to get beyond the TL;DR level news - for which LinkedIn is unbeatable IMO - I cannot recommend these enough: 🎩 Robert Höglund needs no introduction in this space - we have all come to know and love him through his work at CDR.fyi and Milkywire. His Marginal Carbon A

⏪ Throwback Thursday: DAC vs Biochar
🥊 Remember that time when I went head-to-head with Martin Freimüller - aka DACman - in the CDR Policy Scoop’s inaugural SHOWDOWN debate: Biochar vs DAC? ⭐ It was such a personal highlight for me to engage with something I feel particularly passionate about - in a new, exciting format. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/dG8Wkph9 😍 Sure, this debate ruffled some feathers at first. But, it clearly resonated with a lot of people too. We had over 1,000 registrations to the Linkedin l

❎ One tonne ≠ one tonne?
🧩 The carbon removal market is still a patchwork. Every tonne today is different: different methods, durability, MRV, co-benefits, and prices. 🪙 But if we ever want a liquid, scalable market, we’ll eventually need fungibility - the ability to trade removals as a single, trusted unit. Because let’s be honest: 💸 CDR needs to attract billions - eventually trillions of investment 🏦 That’s only possible if large financial institutions can access and trade removals easily. 🤯

🤓 Want to get up to speed on global CDR Policy ahead of COP?
☕ I get it. CDR Policy certainly isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But getting clear on the foundations is essential to engaging with all that goes on at COP. 🎙️ Earlier this year, the team at The Carbon Removal Show put together a 3-part deep dive into CDR policy - what it is, why it's important, and where it might be going. And best part, it's fun, and has plenty of cameos. 🎯 Part 1: Will help get you up to speed on context setting, diving into the evolution of carbon removal

🎥 Help bring biochar to the big screen
💬 If we want to take carbon removal mainstream, we need to move hearts, not just minds. Data and reports can only go so far. Stories move people. 🔥 That’s why The Biochar Effect - a new documentary by Mathew Schmid and Leila Conners - matters. It captures the power and promise of biochar carbon removal like nothing else. How we turn waste into hope and science into storytelling. 🪨 The film explores how biochar transforms everything it touches: from agriculture to concrete,

🎉 Happy Carbon Removal Day - How are you celebrating?
🗓️ Did you know that October 3rd is *the* day in which we celebrate CDR around the world?

There are things all of us can do, today, to help remove carbon from the atmosp

🚴 Tour de Freiburg: Tyred but inspired
🔥 Biochar is about to ignite 🌲 That is my resounding takeaway from a long-needed catch-up with Hannes Junginger jungiger cycling through the gorgeous autumnal Black Forest. 📈 What has changed? Years of consistent growth and deliveries seemed to have finally turned skeptics around. And newcomers to the market - buyers and investors alike - are seeing biochar carbon removal (BCR) for what it is: the most shovel-ready, reliable, mature durable CDR technology available today.

🤔 Did I get it all wrong?
🔄 No surprises here: I’ve been a passionate advocate for the inclusion of carbon removals into the EU’s Emission Trading System (and other ETSs around the world). 🤝 There is another way, though. One which I have personally barely covered and which could prove to be much more effective in scaling this much-needed CDR industry: a removal compliance system. 📑 Carbon Gap is unveiling its new report next week, examining a different path to drive long-term demand for permanent c
