Can CDR weather the climate tech downturn | Nori
“How’s the CDR economic outlook for 2024?
Sightline Climate recently reported that investment for the entire climate tech industry dropped 30% in 2023. Similarly, Pitchdeck released a report specifically outlining carbon removal's recent dip in VC funding. However, Captura just announced a $21.5 million Series A raise.
So is CDR immune to the climate tech investing downturn?
In this episode of Carbon Removal Newsroom, we talk about market responses to uncertainty, the role of large offtake agreements as funding mechanisms, and what stage governments are currently at in their carbon removal journeys.
Tune in to hear about the latest CDR Market Outlook Survey, Kenya’s proposed 15-25% carbon credit export tax, and if what we really need are some experienced solar folks to jump into the CDR waters.”

Solutions for Scalable Greenhouse Gas Removal - Speed vs Science & launch of call for proposals 2024 | CTRFoundationUK
“The urgent need for action to slow climate change is widely accepted but how do we ensure scientific evidence underpins advancement in the race towards greenhouse gas removal?
This session hears from leading international scientists whose work is at the cutting edge of novel bio-tech solutions to remove CO2 and methane.
Presentations are followed by a panel debate discussing the importance of foundational research in driving innovation, policy, investment and practice in the greenhouse gas removal space.
The session also launches CTRF’s 2024 Call for Proposals, outlining the scope of projects and next steps for applications for funding.
Presenters include Dr. Mary Lidstrom, Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering and Microbiology at the University of Washington, Seattle and an acknowledged global leader in the field of methanotrophic bacteria who is committing her life’s work to finding scalable solutions to methane removal:
“What if we could remove enough methane from the air by 2050 to meaningfully contribute to vital global warming targets? In nature, there are bacteria that already remove methane, but this happens slowly. We aim to capitalise on these common biological processes meaning that as scientists we don't need to start from scratch and already have access to the intelligence that could allow us to engineer solutions that are scalable globally.”
The second presentation comes from Professor Luke Mackinder from the University of York, whose research into the productivity and carbon sequestration capabilities of plants and algae could be a game-changer:
“Most plants rely on CO₂ moving passively into the plant, whereas algae are like a hoover going out and sucking it up. We are taking the mechanism used in algae to create a universal molecular chain that can be engineered into most plants, including trees and crops, adapting them to act like CO₂ super hoovers.”
The panel debate examines the critical questions of how to ensure removal solutions are based on robust peer-reviewed science, address co-benefits and potential unintended consequences and ask what more can be done to identify and support critical novel bio-tech research. Speakers address the challenges of attracting funding for early-stage carbon removal solutions in what is a fast-moving environment that demands scalable, rapid solutions that we don't yet have the ability to deliver safely and effectively.”
Removing methane from the air using natural bacteria -'It's so tantalisingly close' Dr Mary Lidstrom | CTRFoundationUK
“Dr. Mary Lidstrom, is Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering and Professor Emeritus of Microbiology at the University of Washington. She is an acknowledged leader in the methanotroph field globally, where she has been active for 50 years and is now committing her life’s work to lead this project. Here she discusses the enormous potential of these bacteria to slow global warming and explains why they are so close to a major breakthrough in the race to reduce methane.”
Developing a transferable mechanism for enhancing CO₂ capture in plants and algae | CTRFoundationUK
There is a huge opportunity within the agricultural, forestry and lower plant sectors for scalable carbon removal. This doesn’t mean simply relying on planting more and more land, but the greater impact lies in overcoming scientific barriers to increasing the photosynthetic efficiency of plants and algae themselves.
The aim of this research is to supercharge the productivity of the CO₂ fixing enzyme found in plants and algae (Rubisco) by introducing one of nature’s key carbon fixing structures (pyrenoids). Pyrenoids are subcellular micro-compartments found in chloroplasts of many algae and their main function is to act as centres of carbon dioxide fixation.
It therefore has the potential to significantly enhance the productivity and carbon sequestration capabilities of plants and algae that currently lack pyrenoids.
The potential impact of this work is highly significant, since it would allow rapid engineering into a range of different algae, crops and trees for biotechnology applications, food production and carbon removal. As such, it could provide a platform for large scale deployment across a range of agricultural practices for crops and other plants/applications, enabling carbon removal at gigaton scale without raising the demands on land. It would also have potential to improve crop yields and biomass accumulation, while reducing nitrogen and water demand, as well as improving growth robustness across environments.
This research, led by a consortium of leading international scientists in the UK and US, leverages and builds on 13 years of successful collaborative research focused on understanding and engineering enhanced CO₂ fixation. Together, their efforts have led to significant advances in our basic understanding of the pyrenoid-based CO₂ -concentrating mechanism (CCM), early successes in expressing algal components in higher plants, and recently, a predictive model of the CCM.
“In its latest report to policymakers outlining mitigation approaches, the IPCC has identified carbon sequestration through forestry and agriculture as vital and offering ‘substantial potential’ to reduce net emissions by 2030.
We are really close to having proof of concept for this key biological breakthrough and within the next 2-3 years aim to test engineered pyrenoid functionality in model plant and algal systems. Once we get to that point, we are confident there will be a lot of opportunity to bring in biotech and scale up.”
Science for the Planet: Why We Need Legal Frameworks for Carbon Dioxide Removal | Columbia Climate School
“Ocean-based techniques to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere could help the US and other countries reach their climate goals, but they need to be advanced in a safe, just and responsible manner, says Romany Webb, Deputy Director of the Columbia Law School's Sabin Center for Climate Change Law and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Climate at the Climate School. She discusses her work on crafting legal frameworks for carbon removal to help ensure that it's conducted in a way that maximizes potential benefits and minimizes potential risks.”
Carbonsations with Lars Krojer, AlliedOffsets | Carbon Herald
“Joining us for this episode is Lars Kroijer, Founder and Managing Director of AlliedOffsets, which provides a database of all carbon offset projects across all registries around the world. Lars tells us about his journey from managing hedge funds on Wall Street to creating the most complete database in the carbon removal space.
