Through our research and our commitment to the transfer of knowledge and technology, we make a significant contribution to preserving the function and protection of the ocean for future generations. A core research focus is on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) measures to reduce atmospheric CO2 and thus compensate for residual emissions of greenhouse gases that cannot be avoided. This is generally seen as a necessity in order to achieve the climate targets for 2050. In order to ensure the transfer of existing knowledge on CDR measures to decision-makers and thus promote the development of CDR methods, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has pledged funding for the Carbon Removal Atlas (CDRatlas). In the CDRatlas project, an online platform will be developed where relevant information on the implementation of CDR methods will be processed, visualised and made available for open access. The CDRatlas is intended to combine solid scientific findings and concepts for the application of CDR and to implement and visualise them in an interactive and freely accessible information platform. The aim is to provide decision-makers from the fields of politics, industry, NGOs, business and science with the necessary information to carry out analyses on the potential of CDR methods and to determine the ecological and technological readiness to implement the presented measures for CDR.”

What Is Regenerative Agriculture? An Introduction!—w/ Jada Dormaier, Supply Account Manager at Nori | Reversing Climate Change
“What does it mean to farm regeneratively? Or to farm conventionally, for that matter? Is regenerative agriculture size-dependent? What are its benefits and how does it work?
Today's Reversing Climate Change podcast episode has Jada Dormaier, Supply Account Manager at the Nori carbon removal marketplace, join Nori Cofounder and Director of Creative & Marketing, Ross Kenyon, to discuss regenerative ag.
Like our recent show reintroducing carbon removal generally, we thought it was a good idea to go back to basics on regenerative agriculture. We've put out lots of shows on the topic, but sometimes you need to redo the 101 and catch those newer to the topic up to speed.
In this show, Jada talks about growing up on a farm, working in farm insurance, and then at Nori for the last several years. She has a huge amount of experience with farmers working to change their practices and just make sure their businesses stay afloat. There are plenty of misconceptions about food, farming, rural communities, and agriculture, and Jada shares her experience of what to keep in mind on the topic.”
How Animals (and Nutrient Pumps!) Make Our World—w/ Dr. Joe Roman, author of Eat, Poop, Die | Reversing Climate Change
“Nutrients on Earth are essential for life on Earth. But they aren't evenly distributed. How do they end up in different places, and how does that affect life on Earth? How does life even work?!
In this episode of the Reversing Climate Change podcast, Nori Cofounder Ross Kenyon is joined by Dr. Joe Roman, a conservation biologist and author of Eat, Poop, Die: How Animals Make Our World.
An established view of how ecosystems emerge and change is through bottom-up processes, e.g. through chemistry or microorganisms. In this view, animals are often seen more as visitors passing through rather than as transformative agents themselves. Joe challenges this concept, arguing that much research has shown just how much mammals can change ecosystems, as well as carbon and nitrogen cycles! This has impacts for carbon removal, from ecosystem restoration to iron fertilization of the Southern Ocean.
The conversation also explores the complex relationship humans have with predators and rewilding, and our desire to simplify our environments, often to our peril. This legibility and safety, however, can often mean ecological sterility. Ross shares his experience raising urban chickens in an environment filled with raccoons.
Joe also talks about his ongoing research project on whales and the Great Whale Conveyor Belt, and his interest in studying invasive species as a source of food for humans.”
New CDR Developments in the EU | Carbon Removal Newsroom
“A lot has been happening in Europe lately.To break it all down for us, we’re joined by Sebastian Manhart, senior policy advisor at Carbonfuture and Initiator and Chair of the DVNE, Germany's CDR association.The episode discusses three major topics:
1) The good, the bad, and the surprising news from the concluded trilog negotiations on the Carbon Removal Certification Framework - how did reductions make it in there?
2) The EU’s proposed 2040 emissions targets which quantifies the cost of inaction at 2.4 trillion euros.
3) The Green Claims Directive, which aims to address a critical issue: 53 percent of all environmental claims in Europe are misleading, and 40 percent are unfounded.Enjoy this power session on EU policy!”
