๐จ BREAKING: German Parliament signs-off almost โฌ500m for carbon dioxide removal ๐จ
๐ฉ๐ช Today, the German Bundestag approved its 2026 budget and with it a โฌ476m package for CDR. โฌ156m will be spent in 2026 with the rest between 2027-2033. ๐ช This matters: at a time when other countries are hesitating, Germany is sending a clear signal that it is planning to go big on CDR!

๐จ Breaking: Germany finally legalises CO2 transport and storage ๐จ

๐ค What comes after net-zero? And should you care?
โ ๏ธ The IPCC is clear: we have to achieve net-zero CO2 by 2050. This is and has been the global rallying cry since 2018. ๐ What is less talked about: net-zero is not enough. Because every credible IPCC 1.5 ยฐC and most 2 ยฐC pathway assumes we overshoot our carbon budget โ and must therefore spend part of the second half of the century removing more COโ than we emit. Some governments have already recognised it and are proactively developing roadmaps for this net-negativity. ๐ธ๏ฟฝ
