🎙️PODCASTS
Live from SF Climate Week with Senator Scott Wiener and Shashank Samala | My Climate Journey
"In today's episode, recorded live during San Francisco Climate Week, we delve into the critical intersection of climate policy and carbon removal. Joining us are two distinguished guests: California Senator Scott Wiener, the author of the recent landmark climate legislation known as California's SB 253 or the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act, and Shashank Samala, the CEO and Co-founder of Heirloom, a pioneering carbon removal company. Shashank was a previous guest on the show in 2021, and we're excited to have him back to weigh in on this important conversation.Senator Wiener sheds light on the legislative landscape driving climate action, while Shashank offers insights into the technologies transforming carbon removal. Together, we explore the convergence of policy and innovation, examining how regulatory frameworks catalyze the adoption and scaling of technological solutions. We pack a lot into this conversation, and we hope you enjoy it!"
Carboneers: Biochar in India and Ghana | Carbon Removal Newsroom
"Biochar is an increasingly global carbon removal pathway. What does it look like to do business in Ghana and India? What does it mean for biochar to be decentralized?
Mart de Bruijn is the Co-Founder and Director of Carboneers, a Dutch biochar company working to implement carbon removal solutions in India and Ghana.
The conversation covers the challenges of securing enthusiastic participation from local farmers, navigating cultural and regulatory landscapes, and the technical aspects of biochar production. Additionally, the episode sheds light on the crucial role of monitoring, reporting, and verification in ensuring the efficacy of carbon credits, alongside the future expansion plans and potential bottlenecks faced by distributed/decentralized carbon removal systems."
Carbon Gap and CDR Policy in Europe | Carbon Removal Newsroom
"Europe has a lot happening for carbon removal, and on several different levels. What is the state of CDR policy and industry?
Today's episode has Nori's VP of Supply and Methodology, Radhika Moolgavkar, on hosting duties, and Sylvain Delerce, the Associate Research Direct of Carbon Gap, joining the show to catch listeners up on Carbon Gap and the latest on European carbon removal news.
Sylvain highlights the European Union's efforts to structure and fund the industry amidst broader regulatory efforts, and how Carbon Gap fits into the ecosystem.
The conversation also covers the importance of distinguishing carbon removal from carbon capture and storage (CCS) in policy texts, the need for a clear EU vision on CDR, and the potential impact of the Net Zero Industry Act and the Carbon Removal Certification Framework on the industry. Sylvain also discusses the role of individual European countries in advancing CDR and the potential for France to deploy significant carbon removal solutions by 2050."

Captura: a simple, streamlined process for Direct Ocean Capture of carbon | Captura
"Captura began with a question: how can we heal the climate at scale and without compromise?
Born out of the California Institute of Technology, Captura developed a technology, called Direct Ocean Capture, that removes CO2 from the ocean and harnesses its ability to heal the climate—a process known as Direct Ocean Capture.
In this video, discover how our process removes CO2 from the atmosphere by harnessing the power of the ocean, all while ensuring it is safe for the marine ecosystem through careful monitoring and tracking efforts. Take an inside look at our labs in Pasadena, California, our 100-ton-per-year pilot plant at the Port of Los Angeles, and our plans to scale globally so we can make a meaningful impact on climate change.
Backed by science, inspired by nature, and powered by the ocean. Captura is making waves in the fight against climate change."
So I'm putting together an investor summit | Tito - AirMiners
Carbon Removal Challenge Webinar w/ Airminers' Tito Jankowski and Adina Mangubat! | OpenAir
"Carbon removal is a trillion dollar opportunity disguised as an existential crisis. Carbon Removal Challenge Media Director Duncan McDowall was joined by AirMiners CEO and co-founder, Tito Jankowski and Adina Mangubat, AirMiners Accelerator Director, who discussed how to scale up carbon removal solutions and different ways of turning a prototype into a business."
Epiphyte Weekly Stream: Open Source Direct Air Capture | OpenAir
Restord Crowdfunder | Restord
"As a planet we’ve agreed to limit temperature increase to 1.5°C or well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels by 2050.
But even if we flipped a switch today, transitioning to renewables as quickly as we can and rapidly phasing out fossil fuels, there would likely still be enough greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to nudge us over that 1.5degree threshold… In short, we also need to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
Agriculture is integral to the UK and Cornwall. Roughly 70% of Cornwall’s land is farmed in some way. We also know that agriculture can play a critical role in the world’s climate strategy.
However, margins are as tight as ever for farmers, soils are degraded, and we have a changing subsidies landscape and on top of this all, a more extreme climate.
We think we can help with something called biochar.
Biochar offers a transformative opportunity for farmers. The application of Biochar on soil has numerous benefits including increased water retention, and nutrient capacity, promoting topsoil regeneration and enhancing biodiversity. There’s evidence that biochar added to cattle feed also reduces methane emissions.
As well as all these potential benefits being researched, biochar is also a form of carbon removal. And it’s a good one."
