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. For a detailed exploration of how biochar is transforming both carbon removal and construction practices, read our full position paper! https://bit.ly/3X2nPJZ #sustainability #carbonremoval #biochar #construction #concrete #cement

There are several promising technologies for capturing #carbondioxide, from direct air capture to land-based solutions such as #biochar, #BECCs, to enhanced weathering, and #innovative ocean-based solutions such as ocean #alkalinisation enhancement and fertilisation. Kickstarting the GenZero Climate Summit 2024: Tech Forum was a panel discussion focused on “Carbon Removal Technologies: Air, Land and Sea – Is One Better than the Other?” which gathered industry leaders from across the ecosystem to unpack the various solutions and debate their respective pros and cons associated with each solution. #GenZero’s Investment Director, May Liew moderated the panel with Jonathan Goldberg CEO & Founder, Carbon Direct, Henrietta Moon, Co-founder & CEO, Carbo Culture, Gaurav N. Sant, Director, Institute for Carbon Management, University of California, Los Angeles & Founder, Equatic.tech, and Derek Willis, Vice President, Commercial Development, Occidental joining as panellists. Key #takeaways 📈 Scalability remains the biggest hurdle for #carbonremoval technologies. Challenges and opportunities are aplenty when it comes to scaling these technologies. These include the need for accelerated deployment at scale, proof of technological readiness, and managing large capital expenditure costs involved with these technologies. 🌿 There is still a fundamental lack of supply of carbon removal credits that are both affordable and of high-integrity. While the focus is often on the lack of demand, the current supply of these credits often come at a higher cost which can be prohibitive to buyers without greater incentives or guidance on the use of credits. 💼 Frameworks and incentives will go a long way. Policy #frameworks have a part to play as they support the deployment of carbon removal technologies, including government incentives, #regulatorysupport, and the role of #carbonpricing. There is a need for cohesive global policies and financial mechanisms to drive investment and deployment at the required scale. #FoodForThought: If you were given to invest US$1b into either air, land or sea-based carbon removal solutions to meet the 1.5 to 2 degree target by 2050, which would you invest in, and why?
