🌍 Carbon dioxide removal is not a future phantasy. It is here today. There are hundreds of companies all around the world removing CO2 from the atmosphere day in, day out. 🇩🇪 This Thursday and Friday, I will be joining 60+ German politicians, corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, and scientists as part of Deutscher Verband für negative Emissionen e.V. (DVNE)'s CDR Experience Tour 2025. 💚 Travelling together by bus through the West of Germany, we will be visiting CDR projects

😵‍💫 There are 29 paradoxes to be precise, and they lie at the heart of why carbon markets are struggling to scale, leading to circular conversations with no end. My favourites: 🌲BASELINE PARADOX: you get money for growing but not for protecting trees (unless someone explicitly says they will cut them down…) 🤑 ADDITIONALITY PARADOX: the more financially successful your project, the less likely it will qualify for credit revenue. 🤩 NOVELTY PARADOX: we tend to prioritise an

🫶 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

💬 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,

🔥 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.

🤦 Time and time again, I look at a new CDR study and find myself speechless looking at cost estimates and projections for biochar carbon...

🤓 The next Carbon Removal and Carbon Farming (hashtag#CRCF) Expert Group meeting is taking place on Thursday, 10th of July from 10:30 -...

🤫 No secret here: I love biochar. And I waste no opportunity to show the world just what an incredible, circular, holistic solution...
