“Terra Preta provides carbon removal for companies with net-zero commitments and improves farmer wellfare the Global South. We enable the decentralized production of biochar, a natural soil enhancer made from agricultural residues, which reduces the need for fertilizers and stores carbon. We do this by partnering with coffee/cacao suppliers and equipping their workforce with our proprietary mobile reactors and our digital control system to verify the carbon removal that we then sell as carbon credits.”
“Greenbiz Group is a fast-growing media and events company that accelerates a just transition to a clean economy. GreenBiz Group is seeking a full-time Director, Carbon to lead our work on carbon markets, carbon removal and adjacent topics. This includes the launch of two exciting new products in 2023 and the development of the Carbon Program at VERGE, the leading climate tech event.”
“Planetary is introducing the first Accelerated Carbon Transition (ACT) Platform to address the multiple challenges of the climate crisis. At scale, the ACT platform:
-Removes CO2 from the atmosphere and store it permanently
-Converts mine tailings into safe, pure, alkalinity
-Generates green hydrogen and battery metals that replace fossil fuels
-Reduces the local impacts of ocean acidification”
“CarbonCure’s technologies enable concrete producers to optimize their concrete mix designs to produce the same high quality concrete with a reduced carbon footprint. Through carbon mineralization, CarbonCure is transforming these concrete plants into a global network of carbon removal factories to help restore a healthy balance of CO2 in our atmosphere.”
“On Microsoft’s Sustainability Commitments team, they seek a high-performing, curiosity-driven individual to join their carbon removal team as a buyer. The ideal candidate will have procurement contracting and/or carbon markets expertise, and can navigate an exciting, rapidly evolving space that is mission-critical for achieving net zero targets. The role will focus on originating high-quality, innovative, carbon removals projects—and negotiating the transactions that will get those projects built—towards enabling Microsoft to meet is ambitious goal of becoming carbon negative by 2030.”
"Isometric is a carbon removal registry, verification service, and science platform"
“Inplanet's mission is to enable farmers in the tropics to replace synthetic fertilisers, pesticides and limestone with (silicate) rock powder from local mines to remove gigatons (that's billions of tons) of CO2 from the atmosphere in a permanent, scalable and safe way.”
“In this episode, Nori going to delve into the details of the CREST Act, its potential impact on our climate, and the implications of its bipartisan support. Will it help scale up a domestic CDR industry? How will the Act's pilot reverse auction purchasing program facilitate the commercialization of carbon removal?
Nori also take a look at the recent developments at the UNFCCC and their work on revising Article 6.4. The tone of their first draft has attracted a lot of attention and controversy for the way it characterized CDR.”
“Dan Friedmann is the CEO of Carbon Engineering. The company is at the frontier of a new industry, direct air capture. They just broke ground on a big plant in Texas that will pull carbon dioxide out of the air.
Dan’s problem is this: how do you bring the price of direct air capture way down? And how do you convince companies and governments to pay for scrubbing carbon out of the air?”
“The carbon removal industry and science have evolved greatly since Nori was founded in 2017. In this special Reversing Climate Change episode, Nori's Head of Supply and Methodology Radhika Moolgavkar, joins host Ross Kenyon to talk through what’s changed, what’s still the same, and how Nori is evolving with a new net-zero-friendly ‘blended tonne’ that they just published a new whitepaper on this week.
-What is this ‘blended tonne’ Nori is developing?
-What did the carbon removal industry look like back in 2017?
-Why did Nori choose to start with soil carbon and how has soil carbon progressed since then?
-What is a carbon cycle and why should carbon removal credit buyers care?
-What is the difference between the geological (‘slow) carbon cycle and and biological (‘fast’) carbon cycle?
-If you emit a tonne by burning fossil fuels and remove a tonne through soil carbon, is it net zero?
-If you emit a tonne by burning fossil fuels and pre-purchase a future DAC carbon removal, is it net zero?
-What role does soil carbon play in reversing climate change?
Tune in to dive into the questions above, and more!”
“Dirk Paessler, CEO of Carbon Drawdown Initiative www.carbon-drawdown.de, held a session about their scientific work with measuring of enhanced rock weathering on croplands at the Enhanced Rock Weathering Day of the Double Nature Summit 2023 in Delft. ERW can be measured 1. by looking at the rock dissolution rate, 2. by monitoring the leachate waters for weathering reaction products and 3. by measuring the CO2 fluxes.”
“The global engineering community will discuss technological advances and system level assessments regarding energy and transport, in relation to climate change, energy security and sustainable transformation for the future. Including practical solutions to low carbon energy generation and storage.”
“Ocean Visions' 2023 Biennial Summit was held April 4-6, 2023 at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. The event brought together hundreds of solutions-oriented people from the ocean-climate community who are committed to developing and advancing a range of solutions that can restore both the ocean and the climate, and help humanity and nature survive the devastating impacts of climate change. The event brought the community together around five tracks:
- Ocean-Based Contributions to Global Decarbonization
- Ocean-Based Contributions to Carbon Dioxide Removal
- Ocean Ecosystem Repair and Regeneration
- Human Adaptation to a Changing Ocean
- Building a Global Community of Solvers at the Ocean-Climate Nexus”
“Quantification of carbon removal in any open system requires a layered approach to measurement and monitoring via a combination of computational modeling, direct observation and data collection, and laboratory ground-truthing.”
“In a world where concrete forms a significant part of construction waste, Silicate, an XPRIZE Carbon Removal team hailing from Ireland, is turning the tables by using this plentiful resource to tackle the climate crisis. They've developed a proprietary blend of materials, including recycled concrete, that absorbs CO2 from the air and adjusts soil pH balance to boost agricultural productivity. Through their work, construction debris is no longer just waste; it becomes useful to both the environment and farmers. Join us as we explore the details of this transformative approach, delve into the realm of carbon sequestration, and uncover how it augments sustainable agriculture in this short documentary, "Ballet of the Spreaders."
“Lots of progress on carbon removal in the country of Canada, so we're checking in on what those new developments mean to companies in Canada and beyond!”
“In this webinar, you’ll learn:
-The potential of DAC as a technology to contribute to the gigaton-scale volume of carbon removal required by mid-century (IPCC).
-The main challenges these companies face in scaling up their technologies, particularly around access to finance, lack of subsidies, energy usage, elevated price point, and the potentially limiting size of the VCM.”
“In this episode of This Is CDR Toby and Megha welcome Andes Bio Co-Founder and CEO Gonzalo Fuenzalida-Meriz to present the company's innovative approach that leverages microorganisms to accelerate the sequestration of inorganic carbon in soils.”
“The Climeworks Direct Air Capture Summit is a one-of-a-kind platform featuring business, technology, scientists, and policy experts. Key players collaborating and discussing high-quality carbon removal solutions help drive the scale-up the industry needs. The fourth edition took place on June 6, 2023, and focused on advancing high-quality carbon removal solutions that are net-negative, additional, verifiable, and permanent.”
