JOB OPPORTUNITIES
Job openings at Carbon180:
“Carbon180 is a new breed of climate NGO on a mission to reverse two centuries of carbon emissions.”
Operations Project Manager at BIOSORRA | Kenya
“BIOSORRA is a social enterprise that provides affordable and sustainable biofertilizer (biochar) to farming communities in SSA to improve food security while capturing carbon out of the atmosphere.”
Controller at Charm Industrial | San Francisco / Fort Lupton
“Charm's mission is to reverse climate change and return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂, profitably. They convert waste biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into permanent, underground storage as carbon removal, or reform the bio-oil to produce syngas for fossil-free steel.”
PODCASTS
Robert Höglund's Cautious Optimism on Carbon Removal | Nori
“Recently, Robert attended Carbon Unbound, the world's first conference solely focused on carbon removal businesses. His reflections from this groundbreaking event, which he shared under the intriguing title "Cautiously Optimistic Removers," shed light on the current state and future direction of the CDR sector.
Radhika and Robert delve into his eight key insights from the event, uncovering the crucial issues facing the CDR sector - from the challenges of scale and certification standards to the essential role of public engagement.
This episode is an inside look at the pressing issues of carbon removal and their significance in our increasingly carbon-conscious world. Why, despite the hurdles, is Robert’s mood was one of cautious optimism?”
