🇪🇺 This timely new Ariadne dossier (Frank Best, Michael Pahle, Darius Sultani Claudia Günther, Malte Herten, Jörn Constantin Richstein, and Professor Ottmar Edenhofer, 2026) seems to have drowned in the whole SBTi noise. Yet it is one of the best analyses I have seen to date on why CDR is truly needed for the long-term effectiveness of the EU Emission Trading System. 📈 It starts with an assessment of what could happen to ETS prices, especially if CCS and green hydrogen dep

🙋🏻 Today, I was elected to serve three more years on the board of the Negative Emissions Platform. 🇪🇺 CDR to date has been shaped by voluntary demand. The next phase - and where we unlock real scale - will be compliance demand, a story that will largely be written in Brussels and European capitals. 📣 We need to make sure that this industry has a strong voice in this process, sharing on the ground operational experiences and ensuring that future policies are fit for purp

🇪🇺 Just touched down in Brussels where I am joining my wonderful colleagues from the The Global South Carbon Dioxide Removal Coalition (GS CDR) to deliver this simple message to European policy makers. 🤝 Looking forward to two days packed with meetings across the EU Commission, Parliament, and Council to share our perspectives and experiences at this crucial moment in time. 🎯 By the end of the year, the Commission will deliver a proposal on the use of international credit

✈️ After the buzz of the CRCF Days, I am heading back to Brussels. 🌐 On June 2nd, I will be joining my colleagues from the The Global South Carbon Dioxide Removal Coalition (GS CDR) for meetings around town to discuss the role of CDR in Europe’s international credits ambitions. 🗳️ On June 3rd, the Negative Emissions Platform (NEP) is hosting its annual general assembly where I am running for another three year term on its board. 💬 On June 4th, NEP is organising its annual

🇪🇺 Eve Tamme and I are on the ground today to participate in the first ever CRCF days. But not just that: we are recording a CDR Policy Scoop episode so you can learn all about the latest developments alongside our analysis of it. ✅ From the EU Buyers Club to the implementation of the CRCF, we got you covered. 👀 Our episode will air tomorrow. Make sure to subscribe to the Scoop wherever you get your podcasts: https://lnkd.in/eZNaA9pX 😍 Exciting times ahead!

💶 That is the billion euro question. A new study sheds light on this, and the numbers are big: 68-86Mt/year of durable CDR demand, easily >€10b/year. 🇪🇺 We are just 1-2 months away from the European Commission’s proposal on how CDR is to be integrated into the world’s largest emission trading system. I’ve seen a number of opinions on the potential impact on such an integration. 📄 However, to my knowledge, this is the first peer-reviewed paper modelling the exact demand th

✅ Yes, it is starting to be, finally! But some approaches more than others. 🇨🇭 That is my main takeaway from Zurich Climate Week and the Financing CDR Summit hosted by Carbonfuture, SIX, and Google. 🤔 Until now, most financing for durable CDR has come from venture capital. This works well for some approaches, especially tech heavy, high-risk, high-reward ones such as DACCS. But it has clear limitations: it cannot pay for large-scale projects and did barely touch more matur

☂️ Just over a year ago, I brought together most of the world’s leading CDR companies from the Global South under the umbrella of the The Global South Carbon Dioxide Removal Coalition (GS CDR) CDR coalition. 💪 The premise was simple: the Global South is uniquely positioned to deliver the majority of high quality removals - in fact, it already is! Yet access to compliance markets in the Global North was far from certain. 🎯 Little did we know that our work was so quickly goi
