The Biochar Demonstrator’s Post

🎬 An exciting new venture and concept for the #carbonremovalmarket! Restord have released a new podcast following its journey as a bicohar startup in the UK. I am super excited to hear more from Tom Previte about his experience as a startup. This is a great learning opportunity for any professionals in agricultural and carbon removal markets. ❓What help will Restord provide the farmers receiving the biochar? ❓What will be the climate impact and business case for Restords biochar and CDRs? 🌲We are going to need a lot more companies doing the same as Restord to increase removal of #carbondioxide globally and meet global climate targets.

🎙 Episode 1: Scr*w it, let's do it 🎙 It was late 2023 when I first started recording conversations I was having with friends, family and my CDR network. At the time, I wasn't sure why I was shoving a mic in their faces but I felt it was for good reason. A few months down the line and we found a home for those recordings. We've turned them all into a podcast (shock!) It's called "Grounded: A Climate Startup Journey" and it captures the uncut highs and lows of launching a biochar business - from sharp learning curves to unlikely breakthroughs. Quick PSA, It turns out launching a carbon removal startup is a hell of a lot more complex than you could ever imagine. How will it go? Listen here to find out - https://linktr.ee/Restord Restord

Apparently, launching a carbon removal start-up is quite difficult... But, not impossible! 💪 We need all hands on deck to get us to Net Zero, including big-thinker innovators, like my brilliant friend Tom, Founder of Restord. Check out his podcast below documenting the highs and lows of a carbon removal start-up. #netzero #carbonremoval #innovation #climateaction

While on my travels, I listened to this interesting podcast with Bill Gates, reviewing current obstacles that hinder our net zero ambitions. One of these is the current ‘green premium,’ which makes sustainable solutions more expensive and hinders financial viability. Another is the importance of offsetting until current necessities of conducting our daily lives are replaced with green solutions. We need to get our ideas into action faster and turbocharge the green revolution. #climatechange #climateaction #greenrevolution

🌍 Innovating for Sustainability: Refreezing the Arctic ❄️ A UK-based startup, Real Ice, is exploring a bold approach to combat climate change—refreezing the Arctic. Using green hydrogen-powered technology, they pump seawater onto ice to thicken it and slow melting. Early tests show promise, but this highlights a broader question: how do we balance innovation with ecological responsibility? Sustainability isn’t just reducing emissions—it’s about preserving and restoring critical ecosystems. Read more in the article below. https://brnw.ch/21wPQQ7

🌍 Tune in to the EcoTech Insights podcast from Techstrong TV, where our CEO Oliver Bolton joined sustainability and climate tech contributor Bonnie Schneider. 🌱 In this episode, Oliver dived into the world of sustainable investing and shared insights into Earthly's automated investment and visualisation tools that empower climate-conscious companies to make a difference. The episode also discussed the crucial role of technology in driving positive environmental impact and how Earthly is leading the way in the fight against climate change. 🎧Don't miss out on the conversation!

🌍 From biotech to climate tech! The question is why? ⚠️While I totally adore each and every aspect of biotech, I really think keeping in mind the urgency of the problem, saving our planet should be our number one priority. 🌱 Just like nature, balance is extremely important in everything. Hence, while they are people who barely care about climate and sustainability, there need to be people who are excessively passionate about climate tech. ❗I want the latter to outweigh the former. 🧬 Let's use biotech to change the world. Let's use biotech to save the planet. ✨ To take the first step forward, I've enrolled into a podcasting program The Future Founders Co. with a primary focus on SDG's and climate tech.  Supriya Panchangam (she/her) Rohan Subash Vijaydev Ramdev TUSHARIKA SAHU 🎙 Join me on my journey to climate tech starting with a podcast to building a technical startup for the same. Stay tuned, will launch the podcast pretty soon. #Biotech #Sustainability #Climatetech #ClimateChange #PodcastingForAnImpact

💡If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. 💡Sometimes, especially nowadays, ideas and movements seem to be overwhelming, and bigger than us. Whether it be net zero goals, climate change resilience or the SDGs, some problems and challenges just seem intractable, and easier to avoid. 💡System change is - by definition - all-encompassing, and in this conversation with the brilliant Frank Dixon you can watch me try, and try again, to understand it and then witness the breakthrough when I do. This is a complex area but there are practical applications. We even argue that it is more relevant now than ever. 💡Tune in to this engaging conversation. We wish all of our US-based followers a Happy Thanksgiving. With thanks to Room151 for sponsoring this bonus series that rounds out our 2024 Podcast Series. https://lnkd.in/gFuvfg_t

🌍 Transforming Business: From Extraction to Restoration Ever wondered how we can truly reimagine sustainability? Chris Moeller was the perfect podcast host and so good to dive deep into the heart of our climate challenge: We’re not just talking change - we’re blueprinting a regenerative future - or at least starting to sketch out what it will take. Key insights: ⚡️Sustainability is being turned into a checkbox, regeneration is a mindset ⚡️Repurposed, marketing and innovation are secret weapons for planetary health ⚡️Community resilience starts with how we think, act, and choose The bottom line? We need businesses that heal instead of harm. Businesses that see that it’s not quarterly profits or generational impact, it’s necessarily both!!

📉 While capital reserves in climate technologies grew to historic levels as big finance groups launched climate-focused funds, actual investments in climate tech startups plunged, as did the number of climate tech deals. On a podcast with Eco-Business in July, Steve Melhuish, a sustainability tech venture builder, noted that while five years ago there was a rush into electric vehicles in Southeast Asia – “everyone wanted to be Elon Musk” – there is now a resurgence in investor focus on food, agriculture and land use. These sectors, Melhuish told Eco-Business, are where 50 per cent of Southeast Asia’s emissions are and where investors should be focusing their attention – not on software like carbon measurement solutions that do not really put a dent in emissions. In this year-end listicle, Eco-Business highlights some of the more promising innovations – some gimmicky, others perhaps more effective – that got the atttention of investors and newspaper editors in a year in which sustainability tech had a rough ride. 🔋 See the full list of sustainability innovations in the story on our website: [https://lnkd.in/gAcvhhDK] 📣 Listen to Steve Melhuish's podcast episode, titled "Where is climate tech in Southeast Asia now": [https://lnkd.in/gXbjRVWk]
