How biodiversity, soil health, water quality, and ecosystem resilience amplify the true impact of durable CDR solutions This post originally appeared on the Tapovanam Biochar website. Author: Sonam Meena, Environmental Research Analyst at Tapovanam Biochar Reframing Carbon Removal: From Tonnes to Transformation When we talk about carbon dioxide removal (CDR), the conversation often starts and … Read more
Why immediate CDR investment is essential, not optional, for climate credibility and cost-effective mitigation to meet future net zero targets Author: Alexander O’Loughnane, Young Leader Volunteer at CDR30 Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is no longer an optional strategy in climate action; it is the infrastructure necessary to achieve 2030 and 2050 net-zero targets. CDR complements, … Read more
Reaching one gigaton of annual carbon dioxide removal (CDR) requires 6 key milestones: robust verification standards, technology portfolio diversity, physical infrastructure buildout, sustained financing, streamlined permitting with community engagement, and cost reductions. CDR must avoid mistakes from adjacent industries including over-subsidizing marginal projects, ignoring environmental justice, and letting perfect be the enemy of good. This … Read more
In this final instalment of our three-part policy miniseries, Tom and Emily look to the future of carbon removal policy: who’s shaping it, what’s getting in the way, and what else can Emily see in her crystal ball? This podcast episode from The Carbon Removal Show first aired on May 26, 2025. In this episode: … Read more
Carbon removal policy is accelerating unevenly. As governments gear up for COP30, new compliance frameworks are taking shape, while standards for quality and permanence are tightening in parallel. For companies, this moment calls for action, not observation. Here’s what to expect—and how to buy like the rules already apply. This post originally appeared on Supercritical’s … Read more
Bridging the CDR Market and the Agricultural Sector: A Dual Value Proposition This post originally appeared on the Inspiratus Technologies LinkedIn blog. Author: Wietse Vroom, Chief Technology Officer at Inspiratus Technologies There’s something daunting about thinking of carbon only as a problem to be resolved; as a waste to be cleaned up from our atmosphere. … Read more
Reliable monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) for marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) approaches will require accurate quantification of the amount of CO2 removed from the atmosphere, the durability of that removal, and non-carbon impacts on the marine environment. Given the vastness of the ocean, the slow gas exchange across the sea surface, and the difficulty … Read more
Carbon removal as the key to achieving global climate goals and sustainable development This post originally appeared on the Inspiratus Technologies LinkedIn blog. Author: Wietse Vroom, Chief Technology Officer at Inspiratus Technologies The world is running out of time to meet the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement. Even with the most ambitious emission reduction … Read more
The carbon removal industry has spent the better part of a decade proving concepts in expensive Northern facilities. Direct air capture plants in Iceland, biochar trials in California, enhanced weathering experiments across European farmland, all informative, trailblazing and very much needed. But the path to gigaton-scale deployment does not run through the same geographies that … Read more
As of today, the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) is a vital driver of demand for carbon dioxide removal (CDR). The VCM, in which private actors from individuals to organisations can purchase or trade carbon credits, both helps companies meet voluntary targets and provide financing for various removal pathways. While compliance markets remain crucial for long-term … Read more
