CDR library

🛑 The tender has now closed. 🤨 There are now two bids on the table after all, with one more coming in at the last minute. Still far from the competitive, landmark programme it was meant to be. 🏛️ But the REAL story is why most projects walked away, and what that says about how we design public funding for CCS and CDR. 🎙️ So  Eve Tamme  and I recorded a quick  CDR Policy Scoop  to get the inside scoop with  Jannick Buhl  from  Danish District Heating Association . We unpac

🤨 I recently found out that 9 out of 10 pre-qualified entities withdrew their applications from this much praised fund, leaving a single contender for what is supposed to be a competitive, landmark fund. 🔎 So I dug deeper, and what I found provides really useful lessons for how we need to structure government funding for fairly novel technologies like CCS and CDR. 💰 Back to the start: the Danish government created a 28.7bn Danish Krona fund (€3.9bn) with the objective of c

📊 Lots has been written about this topic lately. Personally, I like to look at the data–not the gossip. That’s why I was so excited when I saw @cdr.fyi’s incredibly timely “Direct Air Capture Market Snapshot H1 2025” come out yesterday. 😬 On the surface, it doesn’t look good: of 167 DAC companies (as per @grant faber’s latest list - see comments), only 31 have made a sale, and only 2 (!) have delivered any CDR. 🤏 Almost 2.5Mt of DAC credits have been sold to date - of whic
