“The challenge is to get accustomed to uncertainty.”


🔥 The planet is burning. We are running out of time and cannot afford the luxury of certainty anymore.


💬 That is why these wise words from carbon removal veteran Dirk Paessler paessler resonate a lot with me, yet they seem so far away from the policy halls I spend most of my time in.


🪨 Let’s make it concrete: enhanced rock weathering (ERW) was hailed as one of the most scalable and potentially affordable durable CDR solutions out there.


🤝 I shared this belief and even brought to life the Enhanced Weathering Alliance (EWA) alliance two years ago.


🤔 Over the last two years: however, a much more complex picture has emerged. Does ERW really remove carbon? How much? And how fast?


🎙️ This CDR Policy Scoop episode is going to ruffle some feathers. We sat down with Mel Murphy and Dirk Paessler - who collectively have unrivalled ERW experience across science, policy, investment, and markets - to discuss where ERW is really at.


👉 It turned out incredibly insightful and I really, really recommend anyone working or interested in CDR to give it a listen:

🙋🏻‍♀️ Once you managed to tune in: what is your take? Do you agree/disagree with Mel and Dirk’s takes? Why?
