Compliance and Voluntary Carbon Markets in the EU & US

March 26, 2024 08:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MB

Criticism of VCM is very common. But what about CCM?! Compliance Carbon Markets face design and political economy issues as well. Could we replace them both with industrial policy? Maybe, but that has trade-offs too. For what is a climate-concerned person to root? This show delves into the fluctuations in the European Union's Emissions Trading System (ETS) carbon price and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DoE) efforts to boost carbon dioxide removal (CDR) investments through a purchasing ch...

What Does It Mean When Oil Majors Buy Biochar?

March 19, 2024 08:00 - 43 minutes - 39.5 MB

Do carbon removal suppliers and registries have a responsibility in choosing their customers, or in enforcing how their carbon removals are used?

Carbon Removal at COP28 + 2023's CDR Wrapped

December 19, 2023 08:00 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MB

The world’s annual climate summit, COP28, has wrapped up in Dubai. As usual, the massive gathering will end without an all-encompassing deal to fix the climate, but with many new side deals, pledges, and announcements that are very relevant to our climate future.  Boosters and critics alike will all find lots of fodder from the past few weeks, and for better or worse carbon removal played a role in the deliberations.  On this episode, our policy panel reflects on the role CDR played at COP...

Progress on Woody Biomass Burial

December 12, 2023 08:00 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MB

Biomass burial is a CDR methodology that we haven’t yet dug into on our show. Compared to some CDR techniques, biomass burial is a surprisingly simple approach. It involves burying wood trimmings underground to prevent decomposition and thus, the release of carbon back into the atmosphere. Our guests today are Ning Zeng, a professor at the University of Maryland and founder of Carbon Lockdown, and Daniel Sanchez, chief scientist for biomass carbon removal and storage at Carbon Direct.  The...

What Changed for CDR in 2023- and What Didn't

December 05, 2023 08:00 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MB

2023 is coming to a close, and a lot has happened in the world of CDR this year. We’re going to take a look at the year in carbon removal to find out what’s changed in the last year- and what hasn’t.  Investment in CDR remains strong, with many big deals making headlines- but what hasn’t changed? Deployments remain small and few in number. The traditional offset market has faced scrutiny like never before, and seen a dip in investment. What’s still the same? Corporate buyers are still see...

Is There a Role for Mandates to Drive CDR?

November 21, 2023 08:00 - 45 minutes - 42.1 MB

This week, we’re bringing you a panel discussion from the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy’s annual CDR conference. Our policy panelist, Wil Burns, hosted the conference and led this panel discussion on the role of mandates in growing CDR in the US. The US government has stepped forward into the role of subsidizing and encouraging CDR in recent years, offering a ‘carrot’ to promote the new industry, in the form of large grants and tax incentives. But what could the government do ...

Carbon Removal India Alliance

November 07, 2023 15:35 - 37 minutes - 34.4 MB

In recent months, we’ve covered CDR developments in the EU, followed CDR’s role in international climate agreements, and interviewed startups working to bring DAC to Kenya. There’s so much happening with CDR around the globe that it’s a challenge to cover all the news of carbon removal’s rise. That’s why on this episode we’re fortunate to have Tom Mills and Shantanu Agarwal join us today to share their work scaling up CDR in India with a new consortium called Carbon Removal Alliance India (...

CDR Industry Responds to Scrutiny

October 31, 2023 18:19 - 38 minutes - 35.1 MB

As CDR’s notoriety increases, so too does the scrutiny upon it. Carbon removal companies are beginning to deploy in communities, and are facing local concerns about the effect their projects will have communities. As these companies work to communicate the benefits of their projects, a CDR trade group is announcing a new program to help companies responsibly deploy carbon removal.    Scrutiny of CDR continues in the press as well.    An article from Reuters tracked the growing effort to ...

New Science Says Biochar is Very Permanent

October 24, 2023 14:16 - 29 minutes - 27 MB

In our guest’s corner of the geoscience field, inertinites are well-known to be stable forms of carbon. So Hamed Sanei was surprised to learn that there was significant debate over the stability of CO2 storage in biochar, which is an inertinite. In his view, the science of that question has been settled for a long time, and the answer is clear: biochar is durable carbon removal.  Biochar represented 92% of permanent carbon removal sales in the first part of 2023.  It is technologically rea...

U.S. Government Becomes a CDR Buyer

October 17, 2023 07:00 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MB

A few weeks ago, the US government announced it would directly purchase carbon removal. The Department of Energy released news of a $35 million fund to procure CDR credits. The prize fund will take the form of offtake agreements and cover four pathways.  More and more governments are funding CDR pilots, supporting research, and adding CDR targets to their climate plans. CDR has quickly entered an era of widespread support throughout North America and Europe.  But while the support is wide,...

CDR Policy is 'Hot' in the EU

October 10, 2023 07:00 - 48 minutes - 44.1 MB

Not long ago it was difficult to find any information about the carbon removal ecosystem in Europe. Beyond academic papers, and a researcher or two at larger environmental non-profits, CDR policy was not an area with a mature ecosystem. The situation is much different today. Not only is the EU considering ways to incorporate removals into their existing cap-and-trade scheme, but there are non-profits, carbon marketplaces, startups, and a new trade group offering sophisticated information an...

Lots Happening in CDR Business

Building the MRV Tech of the Future

September 26, 2023 07:00 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MB

Carbon removal credits need to be much more trustworthy than carbon offsets are today in order to scale-up CDR. On last week’s show, we covered the news that the voluntary carbon markets have shrunk this year. After many carbon offset projects have come under scrutiny, corporate buyers have grown more hesitant. To prove that carbon removal is worth investing in and better than the status quo, project developers and sellers of credits will need to be able to prove that a credit sold actuall...

Tipping Point for Carbon Markets?

September 19, 2023 07:00 - 34 minutes - 31.9 MB

The voluntary carbon market (VCM) has a total value of over $2 billion, and some predictions show it growing to $10 billion in just a few years.  But the integrity of the carbon offsets available has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years, causing demand to slow and prices to go down. According to a new report from Morgan Stanley the market is approaching a ‘tipping point’, as more and more companies hesitate to stake their environmental claims on offsets that may be debunked in th...

Global Policy Roundup

July 18, 2023 07:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MB

We’ve been covering a lot of US state and federal CDR policy in the last few episodes. Today we’re taking a much-needed international trip and discussing some critical stories happening across the globe.  Zimbabwe’s government has announced new regulations on voluntary carbon offset trading to prevent greenwashing and ensure that local communities benefit. Carbon credit schemes in Zimbabwe have been unregulated. The new policy mandates that all carbon projects register with the program, ens...

Carbon180 and Xprize on Environmental Justice

July 11, 2023 07:00 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MB

The Xprize’s Carbon Removal prize has been one of the most exciting stories in CDR. As it seeks to pump $100 million towards carbon removal projects, the organization is also taking steps to ensure that funding supports companies that benefit, rather than harm, the communities they work in.  This is no small detail, but in fact a main question about the future of carbon removal: can it become embraced by local communities who will host projects? We’ve been focusing on that very question on ...

Ambitious CDR Activism in California

July 04, 2023 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MB

If you’ve been following the development of CDR policy, you’ve probably heard of the volunteer advocacy group OpenAir Collective. Just a few weeks ago our guest Sebastian Manhart said on this show “There’s no state that has policy movement that OpenAir collective didn’t have their fingers all over. I’m really impressed by the results of this kind of grassroots activism."  Now, OpenAir is working to pass SB308 in the U.S.’s largest economy: California. This proposed bill mandates that high-e...

Could This Law Supercharge U.S. CDR?

June 13, 2023 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25 MB

Since last year’s landmark climate legislation, members of congress are looking for niche areas of climate progress. Enter the Carbon Removal and Emissions Storage Technologies (CREST) Act, a bipartisan piece of legislation aimed at accelerating carbon removal and storage solutions.  It was introduced by U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Maria Cantwell and also has a bipartisan version in the House, the CREST Act tasks the Departments of Energy with initiating research programs and exploring ...

What's Happening at the UNFCCC? w/ Wil Burns

June 06, 2023 07:00 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MB

An important climate body at the U.N. is causing controversy as they seek to define use of CDR, and many supporters of carbon removal are not happy.  The UNFCCC is in the process of figuring out how carbon removal fits into emissions reduction plans. A recent draft statement caused a stir among advocates of CDR and climate experts, as it described CDR as 'unproven' and ‘not contributing to sustainable development’. Many CDR advocates have contested these claims, especially given the crucia...

Robert Höglund's Cautious Optimism on Carbon Removal

May 30, 2023 07:00 - 36 minutes - 33.9 MB

Recently, Robert attended Carbon Unbound, the world's first conference solely focused on ...

Differentiating Emissions Cuts and CDR

May 12, 2023 07:00 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MB

Following 2015’s UN Paris Agreement, each signatory country submitted a strategy indicating how they intend to decarbonize their economy. While much of the work comes from cutting emissions, plans can also include a ‘residual emissions’ category- that’s where carbon removal comes in.  But recent research from our panelist Holly Buck and her colleagues found no standard definition of residual emissions. Residual emissions are significant; most come from agriculture, industry, and mobility. ...

Inside Planetary's Public Outreach

May 05, 2023 07:00 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MB

Last year Planetary Technologies won the Carbon Xprize Milestone award for their ocean-based CDR method. That same year they started testing their ocean alkalinity enhancement process in a small trial in England, partnering with the local water company. The test showed improved alkalinity and reduced CO2 in local waters. Now the company plans to do a longer, 120-day test this summer, hoping to remove 200 net tons of CO2 from the water. Planetary has conducted public outreach about their pla...

The Business of Enhanced Rock Weathering

April 28, 2023 07:00 - 41 minutes - 37.9 MB

In December 2022, the carbon credit platform Puro added a methodology for enhanced rock weathering (ERW) credits. This announcement opens the door for the ERW to be sold into the billion-dollar voluntary carbon marks.  ERW is one of the oldest known forms of carbon removal, long studied by geologists. But it is only recently that a growing number of startups are applying the science of this technique on a larger scale.  Other businesses are taking note. Microsoft is expanding its carbon re...

State-Level CDR Policy Advocacy with Toby Bryce

April 07, 2023 07:00 - 38 minutes - 35 MB

About one year ago we were joined on this show by Toby Bryce, who works with the volunteer-advocacy group the OpenAir Collective on a variety of projects that support the growth of carbon removal. Toby told us about the groups work advocating for state-level legislation called the Carbon Dioxide Removal Leadership Act in New York State.  Since then, the legislation has been proposed in several more states, and the group’s network of policy advocates has grown along with it.  Today we’ll ta...

SVB + CDR

March 24, 2023 07:00 - 39 minutes - 36 MB

The ramifications of Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse two weeks ago are still rippling across the global economy. SVB was a major lender to VCs, and served silicon valley: two factors that meant its rapid demise will affect the climate tech industry.  SVB worked with 1550 climate tech companies, and gave the industry billions in loans.  Other banks may fill the void to support this lucrative sector, but many carbon removal companies are now spending time figuring out their financial stabilit...

In the first segment of today’s show Na’im Merchant and Asa Kamer discuss the significance of that milestone, what it might mean for the CDR industry, and news that Lanzatech became the first carbon capture company ever to go public. On the other s...

CDR Axed from Climate Plans

February 10, 2023 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MB

Should carbon removal be included in institutional climate plans? It’s a debate that’s taken place across business, government, and science in recent years. The rise of the net-zero framework has sharpened the focus on how and when organizations should decarbonize. And how carbon removal fits in. Last week two influential organizations weighed in on how they plan to use carbon removal in the coming years. The Net-Zero Owner Alliance, a UN-convened group of 84 large investors, declared tha...

The State of CDR report

February 03, 2023 08:00 - 37 minutes - 34.7 MB

In January, a team of researchers led by the University of Oxford’s Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment released a report titled “The State of Carbon Dioxide Removal.” The authors called it the first global assessment of the field and what gaps need to be closed to scale carbon removal. The 101-page report covered how much CDR currently exists, the research landscape, existing policy support, and the gap between current plans and what will be needed to reach climate goals. It c...

Where Are the Buyers?

January 20, 2023 08:00 - 42 minutes - 38.5 MB

Where are the buyers? That’s the question CDR-observer and climate advisor Robert Höglund asked in a much-discussed recent post. Höglund points out that while significant growth occurred for CDR through voluntary markets in 2022, the number of large buyers is low and growing slowly. He called the market “upside down”: lots of marketplaces, fewer companies doing removal, even fewer buyers. Today we’ll look at his post and use it as a jumping-off point to discuss some recent headlines in th...

DAC Hubs w/ Jason Hochman of the DAC Coalition

January 13, 2023 08:00 - 39 minutes - 36 MB

In 2021 the U.S. congress passed the bipartisan Infrastructure bill, which alongside funding for roads and bridges, included $3.5 billion for 4 DAC demonstration hubs. Each will be a large-scale DAC facility, and they may be the first engineered CDR built at scale in the U.S. Since the bill was passed, DAC-watchers and interested entrepreneurs have been waiting for more information on what the funding would be spent on and who would be eligible to receive it. In the meantime, the DOE under...
