🇪🇺 A call for supporting carbon removals in the next EU mandate 🇪🇺 Together with 44 other organisations, Carbo Culture has written to Climate Commissioner-designate Wopke Hoekstra ahead of his confirmation hearing in the European Parliament urging him to adopt a set of policies to support a sustainable scale-up of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in the next EU mandate. Here are our 4 key recommendations: 1. Set separate targets for emissions reductions and carbon removals in the revision of the Climate Law 2. Boost CDR funding to scale up both early- and later-stage technologies 3. Provide clarity for buyers of CDR in the Green Claims Directive, strengthening the integrity of climate claims 4. Create stable demand for carbon removals through a compliance market and long-term policy support   Carbon removals are vital for reaching net zero. With the new European Commission being formed, this is a pivotal moment to ensure carbon removals become a pillar in Europe’s fight against climate change.   Read the full letter here: https://bit.ly/4fhRO8i #ClimateAction #CarbonRemoval #NetZero #EU

🎉 We’re thrilled to announce that Carbo Culture has won the SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen Carbon-to-Value Challenge! 🎉 On October 11th in Leipzig, Germany, we were recognised for our conductive, carbon-negative concrete. This innovative technology not only reduces CO2 emissions but also brings enhanced strength and conductivity to concrete, opening the door to exciting new applications. Hosted by SPRIND, the German Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation, the challenge focused on finding groundbreaking solutions to turn carbon emissions into valuable products. We are incredibly proud to have been selected among the winners, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz recognising the potential of all participating teams to shape the future of European innovation. Special thanks to the entire SPRIND team for their unwavering support. Together, we are proving that decarbonisation in the construction sector is possible today with scalable solutions like Biographite® technology.

53 Companies Unite for a Sustainable Future in Carbon Removal! We are thrilled to announce that Carbo Culture has joined forces with 51 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.  Access the Commitments:  https://lnkd.in/eP7d4dh5   Negative Emissions Platform #cdr #netzero

How can the construction industry, responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions, play a pivotal role in long-term carbon storage? Our 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 takes a deep dive into the use of 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲, a solution that not only reduces emissions but also stores carbon securely for thousands of years. Biochar can replace a portion of traditional cement, improving the environmental footprint of concrete while enhancing its strength and durability. What’s more, it offers long-term carbon storage, even when concrete is recycled or repurposed.
