🙏 Thank you, Lisa 🙏

💪 I doubt that Germany would be leading in carbon removal policy the way it is had it not been for the immense contribution of a real force of nature: Lisa Mangertseder

🇩🇪 Over three years ago, she became the founding Vice-Chairwoman for the Deutscher Verband für negative Emissionen e.V. (DVNE). Back then, removals was an unknown or completely misunderstood topic for most policy makers.

🚀 Fast-forward and folks are looking at Germany as one of the removals pioneers: €500m committed to CDR, a dedicated CDR department set up, and the second biggest startup ecosystem for CDR in the world.

🔥 Lisa played an outsized role in making this happen. Being her partner in the trenches, I witnessed first hand how she worked her butt off to set up the DVNE, getting her hands dirty for whatever was needed.

🗳️ In 2025, Lisa was unanimously re-elected as Vice-Chair for another term, testament to the appreciation and respect she had earned in the membership.

💔 Last month, Lisa moved on to a new role and left the DVNE as a result. She will be dearly missed at the DVNE and leaves big shoes to fill.

🎉 Luckily for us, she is continuing to deploy her huge talents to scale CDR, now at the SIX. And luckily for me, I actually get to work with her even more closely now, with SIX being the lead investor in Carbonfuture.

🫶 Lisa, tausend Dank für deinen Einsatz, es war (und ist) mir eine Ehre.
