🇬🇧 Is the UK turning into a carbon removal powerhouse?🇬🇧
🤯 Still reeling from my short and intense trip to London, where I attended Carbon Unbound Europe and got to catch up with all my favourite UK CDR policy experts. 💚 The timing couldn’t be better: Dr Alan Whitehead released his long-awaited independent GGR (=CDR) Review today!

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%
