What a present 🎁 to celebrate #CarbonRemovalDay today October 3rd. Thank you, Carbon Unbound, for the feature and for hosting another fantastic conference in London! Happy Carbon Removal Day, all! 🌍🌬🌊

5️⃣ 3️⃣ Companies Unite for a Sustainable Future in Carbon Removal!   We are thrilled to announce that SeaO2 has joined forces with 52 leading organisations to endorse the Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Industry Commitments. This groundbreaking initiative sets a new standard for the carbon removal sector, reinforcing our collective dedication to combat climate change and meet the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement.   🔍Why This Matters: The CDR Industry Commitments represent a significant moment for our industry, aligning with the scientific consensus that to achieve net zero, we must not only reduce emissions but also remove 5-10 gigatons of CO2 annually by 2050.    📌 Key Pillars of the Commitments: - Clear Definitions: Establishing what CDR truly entails and its crucial role in climate action. - Commitment to Science: Acknowledging the necessity of CDR in our climate strategies. - Sustainability & Transparency: Upholding the highest standards of accountability and adherence to regulations. - Public Engagement: Ensuring inclusivity and equity in carbon removal activities.   As signatories of these commitments, we are taking responsibility for the growth and integrity of the CDR sector. We invite all players in the CDR sector to join us in this shared commitment to building a future where carbon removals are done the right way, with accountability at its core.

Carbon Unbound is a wrap❗️ 🔷Something to celebrate? 🎊 Both buyers and investors highlighted the immense interest in ocean 🌊 solutions. Our customer Salah Said from Klarna underscored the growth in marine CDR applications to the Milkywire Climate Transformation Fund, and Tobias Seikel from Planet A Ventures used marine CDR as an example of new solutions raising interest among investors 🔷Something we learnt? 🤔 Our colleague Mónica Larrazábal Álvarez-Guerra facilitated the campfire on how to tackle the MRV issue in mCDR, hearing specific questions to advance and “dissipate the fog” 😶🌫️. What range of uncertainty are we expecting to have and how can it be improved? Is this a technology problem or a methodology alignment problem? What part of the puzzle must be tackled by industry vs academia? 🔷Something to ask for? 💭 Carbon Unbound is the most senior CDR conference. This should be the perfect terrain for new buyers to start tiptoeing into CDR procurement and act now - quoting Emma Parry from McKinsey & Company “This is not a tomorrow’s problem, this is a today’s problem” Cheers to everyone that we got the chance to talk 1-1 🥂 - let’s build this industry together!

🌍 SeaO2 is excited to be in San Francisco this week! Earlier this year, we were recognized in the XPRIZE CDR #Top100 as one of the leading #CDR startups, and we’re honored to participate in two major events that will drive our mission forward: 💡 Today, we’re attending the first session of the exclusive XPRIZE CDR Top100 program with the Creative Destruction Lab. This program is focused on accelerating the commercial adoption of carbon removal technologies, helping ventures like ours scale towards gigaton-level impact. 💼 We’re also thrilled to take part in the 2024 Carbon Removal Capital Summit, co-organized by XPRIZE and Santander. With the growing interest in green project financing, this summit presents an exciting opportunity to engage with institutional investors and fellow entrepreneurs committed to making a sustainable difference. If you’re in San Francisco or attending the events, let’s connect! Feel free to reach out to our co-founder and CEO, Ruben Brands. #CDR #OceanCDR #CarbonRemoval #ClimateAction #DOC
