“When we talk about carbon removal, we often focus on “direct air capture” facilities — big factories that suck carbon dioxide out of the ambient air.But a simpler and easier way to remove carbon from the atmosphere may exist. It’s called “enhanced rock weathering” — grinding up rocks, spreading them out, and exposing them to the ambient air — and it works, essentially, by speeding up the Earth’s carbon cycle. Enhanced rock weathering recently got a major vote of confidence from Frontier, a consortium of tech and finance companies who have teamed up to support new and experimental carbon removal technologies. In this episode, we speak with Jane Flegal, a former Biden White House climate adviser and now the market development and policy lead at Frontier, about the promise of enhanced rock weathering and why Frontier just spent $57 million to do it.”

“Episode 35 is with Anastasia Pavlovic, CEO of Eion and Elliot Chang, Co-founder and CSO of Eion.Today Na’im speaks with Anastasia Pavlovic, CEO of Eion and Elliot Chang, CSO of Eion. Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is an area of carbon removal that I’ve been really intrigued by. When I think about ERW, I think about high potential for scale, benefits to farmers, and potentially challenging MRV.So 35 episodes into this podcast, I’m finally doing an episode on ERW. Today I’ll be speaking with Eion’s co-founder, alongside a newly minted CEO, to educate me about what has evolved in the ERW space over the last few years and what the future has in store for this promising but still nascent carbon removal technology.”

🎥YOUTUBE VIDEOSLaunch: Revised Oxford Offsetting Principles | Oxford Smith School “Join us for an insightful webinar where we will provide a comprehensive overview and mark the launch of the revised Oxford Offsetting Principles. The principles were developed in response to the growing need for carbon offsetting strategies to align with net zero targets. This event will cover the most significant updates to the principles, including the urgency of reducing emissions, the importance of closing the carbon removal gap, the critical role of nature-based systems, and the clarification of terms to reflect new international guidance on net zero and nature commitments.This webinar is an excellent opportunity for professionals in environmental management, sustainability, and corporate strategy to gain a deeper understanding of the revised Oxford Principles and how they can be deployed in their organisations.”

The Future of Carbon Removal: What Lies Ahead for Carbon Markets Webinar | Carbonfuture “2023 proved to be a major year for carbon dioxide removal. The volume of CDR purchases grew more than 7 times from 2022, thanks to significant purchases from leading companies like Microsoft, Airbus and Swiss Re. CDR buyers are looking increasingly to meet their net-zero commitments via durable carbon removal technologies such as biochar. And a study from McKinsey found that a CDR industry scaled to meet climate-relevant levels by 2050 could be worth up to $1.2 trillion.While the long-term potential of the industry is exciting and full of promise, the short-term outlook remains uncertain. Suppliers face a challenging funding environment, with concerns about access to project financing and a lack of policy incentives for many durable CDR technologies. Many buyers have questions about getting started with carbon removal and how to get the most out of their investment, while policymakers in capitals from Washington to Brussels discuss the rules that will govern carbon markets over the coming decades.In this webinar, we’ll take a comprehensive look at what lies ahead for the CDR industry. Our panel of experts will take a deep dive into the standards, technologies and policies that will drive innovation in carbon markets, what to expect following COP28, key trends to watch out for and the dates you should have circled on your calendar.”
Biochar: Lift-off for Engineered Carbon Dioxide Removals (CDR) | MSCI “Interest and investment in Engineered Carbon Dioxide Removals (CDR), which remove CO2 from the atmosphere and permanently store it in geological or organic forms, are trending upward. The ability to remove a large scale of emissions and lock it away for decades or centuries makes engineered CDR an increasingly attractive choice for carbon credit buyers, suppliers, and investors alike.”

Blue carbon as a natural climate solution | OCTO (Open Communications for the Ocean) “Blue carbon ecosystems (BCE), including mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, and tidal marshes, store carbon and provide co-benefits such as coastal protection and fisheries enhancement. Blue carbon sequestration has therefore been suggested as a natural climate solution. In this webinar, the Blue Carbon Lab at Deakin University will examine the potential for BCEs to act as carbon sinks, as well as the opportunities and challenges to protect or restore ecosystems for this function. Touching on local case studies and projects, the webinar will showcase how improving policy and financial approaches, engaging communities, and boosting our science can help operationalize blue carbon to achieve measurable changes to atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, provide multiple co-benefits, and address national obligations associated with international agreements.”
