๐ Dream job alert: passionate about the ocean and ready to make waves?
๐งช Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is one of the most promising carbon removal methods.

๐ฅณ The CDR report to end all CDR reports is finally back
๐ After two long years of waiting, the third edition of the State of Carbon Dioxide Removal was just published. And it doesnโt disappoint. โจ >300 pages written by 74 of the sectorโs leading voices. The report is remarkable in both its depth and breadth. ๐๏ธ Luckily, I got a sneak preview and had the whole weekend to devour this beauty.

๐ช๐บ Could carbon removals save the EU ETS?
Europeโs 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. โ ๏ธ As a result, member states are asking for changes, delays, and even suspension. ๐ค But could CDR be a solution here? ๐ First, letโs start with the status quo: the cost of carbon in the ETS is going to increase - by design: estimates put it at around โฌ150/t in 2030, โฌ200/t in 2035, โฌ270/t in 2040 and >โฌ600/t in 205

๐บ๐ฒ Finally, U.S. CDR Policy is starting to make sense
๐
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. ๐คฉ 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

๐ฉ๐ช A Big day for CDR in Germany
๐คฉ Later today, policymakers, researchers, founders, industry leaders, and NGOs are gathering to unpack what it will really take to scale carbon removal in Germany at the launch of Carbon Gap โs Germany's Carbon Removal Readiness Assessment Report. ๐๏ธ At the CDR Policy Scoop , we are excited to release our very first country special on Germany to answer the big question: Will Germany turn ambition into deployment fast enough? ๐ Tune in for a clear look at Germanyโs progr

๐ Senator Josh Becker is the stuff of CDR legends
๐บ๐ฒ He has been pioneering CDR before it was cool. And if anywhere is going to scale carbon removal in the U.S., my bet is still on California. โ
If it were a country, t would be the 4th largest economy in the world. โ
It has a 2045 net-zero target. โ
And crucially, it has actually quantified the need: 75 Mt of removals by 2045. ๐๏ธ Sure, last yearโs veto by governor Newsom of the $50M state procurement program hurt. But behind the scenes, something more structural (and argu
