🤩 Few people understand the intricacies of carbon removal policy better than Oliver, who has been working across academia and the IPCC, all while actively advising governments around the world. 🔥 I was thrilled to learn that I was going to host a fireside chat at the Negative Emissions Platform Summit in Brussels with Oliver. There are few people I’d rather spend 30 minutes talking to than him. The best bit: we recorded the whole thing and published it as a CDR Policy Scoop

🙋🏻 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

🇮🇹 If you live or happen to be in Italy next week, make sure to join us in Padova for the launch event of the Rete Italiana Rimozione Carbonio (RIRC) . 📅 Tuesday 14th of April, 3-6pm - you can sign up here: https://luma.com/oc2kvtaf 💪 It's the first time the Italian CDR community will gather. Hopefully the start of a movement akin to what we have seen in Germany and France. 🍝 And, Italy being Italy, there will be plenty of socialising over delicious food and wine. 👋 C

📣 No surprises here: I believe the EU holds the key to scaling carbon removal policy. As such, I am thrilled to join the Board of Negative Emissions Platform (NEP), Europe’s most established industry voice for CDR. 🙋🏻 Formally, I took over the Carbonfuture seat a month ago from Leila Toplic and hold it until the next election this June. Then hopefully beyond that. 🌍 I look forward to joining Sacha Corby, PhD , Dirk Paessler , Rafael Broze (Microsoft), Johan Bör

😐 Honest admission: I knew/know almost nothing about LTSs. In fact, I barely hear anyone talk about them. One exception is Harry Smith PhD , who actually wrote a full PhD about it. Here are a few things I learnt in our CDR Policy Scoop with Harry: 🎯 Residual emissions in government plans are double what the CDR community assumes. We often talk about 5-15%. In LTSs, they are often more than double this. An even bigger issue: only 26 countries actually quantified their res
