💵 $3.6b of private capital has been invested into CDR between 2021 and 2025 💵
🧐 However, one could argue that the money is not being allocated efficiently. Here’s why: 🏭 Technological concentration: 61% of all investment to date went to DACCS. While BiCRS follows with just 15% (of which Biochar Carbon Removal accounts for 5%). These numbers stand in stark contrast with deliveries, where BiCRS accounts for >95% while DACCS <0.1%. 🌎 Geographical concentration: the U.S. and Switzerland account for 77% of all investment. The Global South for just 2%. A

🇩🇪 Germany just went big on CDR and we’re only getting started
💶 Last Friday, Germany made headlines with its announcement to spend almost €500m on CDR. This marks the pinnacle of a year full of positive news coming out of Europe’s biggest economy. 📄 Yesterday, the Board and Team of the Deutscher Verband für negative Emissionen e.V. (DVNE) met for our yearly (already third!) strategy day in Berlin. We reflected on what has been achieved and discussed the work ahead of us. Couple of highlights I’d like to share: 1️⃣ We’ve come so far: i

☠️ Is DACCS dead? ☠️
❗No, and especially not in Germany according to 🌱🌎 Florian Hildebrand, CEO of Greenlyte Carbon Technologies. 😍 I had a the great pleasure of getting a sneak preview of their newest facility in Essen, Germany, a prime example of what DAC 3.0 looks like. 📉 Much has been written about the end of direct air capture. The reality is more complex: yes, there are probably too many DAC companies (almost 200...). And many of them are using technology that will likely not prevail. �

😮 See it to believe it! 😮
🌍 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

🤔 What is really happening to Direct Air Capture?
📊 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

⏪ Throwback Thursday: DAC vs Biochar
🥊 Remember that time when I went head-to-head with Martin Freimüller - aka DACman - in the CDR Policy Scoop’s inaugural SHOWDOWN debate: Biochar vs DAC? ⭐ It was such a personal highlight for me to engage with something I feel particularly passionate about - in a new, exciting format. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/dG8Wkph9 😍 Sure, this debate ruffled some feathers at first. But, it clearly resonated with a lot of people too. We had over 1,000 registrations to the Linkedin l
