Biomass Carbon Removal: A Roadmap for Sustainable Biomass Sourcing As we work toward achieving net-zero emissions, biomass-based carbon dioxide removal (biomass-CDR) has become a cornerstone of climate strategy and is currently the leading CDR pathway. However, with increasing competition for biomass from the bioenergy and biomaterial industries, it is vital to determine which biomass types are best suited for CDR, how to avoid displacing them from higher-priority uses, and how to minimise potential environmental and social impacts. So, what safeguards should buyers consider when purchasing carbon removal credits from biomass-CDR projects? At CarbonX Climate, we advocate for a thorough assessment of the biomass's counterfactual scenario and potential market leakage. Achieving the right balance between carbon removal goals and sustainable land use is essential for maximising the potential of biomass in #CDR. Establishing strong baseline conditions is complex and highly context-dependent, varying by region and evolving over time, which requires ongoing reassessment in response to market changes.

CO280 will be among the 500 innovators in attendance at Carbon Unbound's #CarbonUnboundWestCoast2024 conference in San Francisco next week. If you're one of the leading buyers, investor heavyweights or tech developers attending, please reach out to our Head of CDR partnerships Andrew Chalmers to connect on site.

The #BECCS Leadership Summit in Banff wrapped up last Friday. Wow! Hosted by Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) and Alberta Innovates, it was a superb event that brought together leaders from around the world to discuss scaling-up BECCS...forest management, capture technologies, #CDR procurement, project financing, policies and host of other topics. The location was stunning and the Alberta hospitality unmatched. CO280 is developer of large-scale BECCS projects in partnership with CDR buyers and pulp and paper companies. We believe BECCS represents a $40+ billion per year market opportunity in North America. The Summit reinforced this opportunity but also shone a spotlight on Alberta as an early BECCS mover with all the right stuff…sustainable forests, carbon capture ecosystem, CO2 transport and storage infrastructure, supportive policy and regulation, etc. Alberta’s entrepreneurial “can-do” approach is exactly what’s needed to get this new industry launched. Thanks for including CO280 Co-Founder and CCO Natalie K. and I in the Summit. Thanks also to Tyson Dyck for expertly moderating our panel on Financing BECCS Growth” + fellow panelists Andrew Hall and Jeff Pearson for sharing insights on project financing strategies. Looking forward to BECCS Summit round #2!

Less than 10% of corporate professionals expect to reach net zero without using carbon credits, according to findings from Nasdaq's 2024 Global Net Zero Pulse survey. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) continues to be a necessary tool in the corporate net zero toolbox. But a deeper analysis of buying preferences is critical if leveraging the voluntary carbon market (VCM) as a financing vehicle for conventional and novel CDR. So, the Nasdaq ESG Advisory team set out to uncover how the VCM has changed over the past year. 🔗 Discover insights this #ClimateWeekNYC: http://spr.ly/6040o99xQ
