CDR library

Europe’s 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. ⚠️ As a result, member states are asking for changes, delays, and even suspension. 🤔 But could CDR be a solution here? 📈 First, let’s start with the status quo: the cost of carbon in the ETS is going to increase - by design: estimates put it at around €150/t in 2030, €200/t in 2035, €270/t in 2040 and >€600/t in 205

😅 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. 🤩 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 

🤩 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 ’s Germany's Carbon Removal Readiness Assessment Report.  🎙️ 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? 🔐 Tune in for a clear look at Germany’s progr

🇺🇲 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. ✅ If it were a country, t would be the 4th largest economy in the world. ✅ It has a 2045 net-zero target. ✅ And crucially, it has actually quantified the need: 75 Mt of removals by 2045. 🏛️ Sure, last year’s veto by governor Newsom of the $50M state procurement program hurt. But behind the scenes, something more structural (and argu
