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.

Honest admission: I knew almost nothing about the world’s biggest carbon market until I started doing my own research. It’s fascinating: ◾The ETS was launched in 2021, designed to support the national goal of peak emissions in 2030 (65% reduction vs 2005) and net-zero in 2060 ◾The ETS started with power (2021 - 5Gt - 40%
