Based on Copenhagen, Agreena combines agriculture, finance and technology to work with 10,000 farmers across 20 countries. The conversation explores why adoption remains challenging despite long-term benefits, including thin margins, short planning horizons, and the risk of yield dips in the initial transition years. Simon also explains how Agreena uses satellite imagery, machine learning, and outcome-based verification to support both carbon credits and carbon insets, and how its two-sided platform aligns farmer incentives with corporate climate commitments. The episode closes with Simon’s perspective on the role of policy, finance, and technology in making regenerative agriculture the “new normal,” and advice for those interested in careers at the intersection of agriculture, climate, and systems thinking.”

What Will Happen to CORSIA & Carbon Dioxide Removal?—w/ Lev Gantly, partner at Philip Lee LLP | Reversing Climate Change | 392: What Will Happen to CORSIA & Carbon Dioxide Removal?—w/ Lev Gantly, partner at Philip Lee LLP Reversing Climate Change 1:11:34 |
“Right now, the world’s climate policy architecture is under siege. The US has withdrawn from the Paris Agreement and UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Right-wing populism is rising across Europe. And Europe itself is torn between defending against geopolitical threats and sustaining the climate policies it has spent years building.What happens to carbon removal in this environment? And what happens to CORSIA—The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation from within the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)—when a key moment of judgment arrives this June?Lev Gantly is a partner at Philip Lee LLP, a law firm specializing in carbon markets and climate law, and one of Reversing Climate Change’s sponsors. He advises a broad range of clients on emissions reduction and carbon dioxide removal projects, both through natural solutions like biochar and engineered technologies.His deep understanding of international carbon markets, Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and the evolving regulatory landscape makes him a critical voice on where climate policy is actually heading—and where it can actually survive political pressure.Listen in to hear more about how CORSIA works and why it matters (or doesn’t matter so much?) for carbon removal. You’ll also learn about the specific moment this June when the EU must decide whether to keep the scheme or revert to its original plan to impose its own emissions trading system on international aviation.Plus, where Lev is actually seeing durable policy support for carbon removal right now—and what it takes to make climate policy sticky enough to outlast a change in government.”
Frontier: The Private Bet on the Public Good - with Hannah Bebbington Valori | The CDR Policy Scoop | Frontier: The Private Bet on the Public Good - with Hannah Bebbington Valori The CDR Policy Scoop 28:09 |
“In this episode of The CDR Policy Scoop, Sebastian Manhart and Eve Tamme are joined by Hannah Bebbington Valori, Head of Deployment at Frontier, the advanced market commitment backed by Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, McKinsey, and Meta that has become one of the largest and most experienced buyers of carbon removal in the world.The conversation opens with Frontier’s newly redesigned innovation program, which this year expands beyond pre-purchases to include R&D grants and more flexible check sizes. Hannah explains that roughly 60% of the R&D gaps Frontier identified at launch in 2022 have already been worked on or solved, a sign the field has matured enough to warrant a broader funding approach.Much of the discussion centres on Frontier’s theory of change and the concept of the “baton pass”: The idea that voluntary corporate buyers exist to pull technology from lab to field and prepare a portfolio of proven solutions for governments to eventually take over. Hannah is direct that carbon removal is ultimately a public good requiring government-scale support, and that the voluntary market alone cannot get to gigatons. Sebastian and Eve push on how Frontier engages on policy across jurisdictions, how its buying criteria feed into legislative processes, and the tension between being “tech agnostic” in policy design and the practical pressure to fund what already works.The episode also revisits Frontier’s 2024 fellows program, which placed individuals around the world to build demand for carbon removal through policy. Hannah gives an honest assessment: the Nordic Carbon Removal Alliance was a genuine win, but one year is a short runway for systems change, and policy moves slowly by design. The conversation closes on the question the whole sector is watching, what happens to Frontier after 2030, with Hannah confirming the team is actively working on it.”
Why carbon removal needs a new story | Carbon Curve Podcast The Carbon CurveEpisode 62 is with Robert Höglund (Head of Climate Strategy and CDR, Milky Wire; Co-Founder, CDR FYI; CEO, Marginal Carbon… 5 days ago · 3 likes · Na’im Merchant “In this episode, host Na’im Merchant catches up with Robert Höglund to discuss his latest thinking on the carbon removal sector’s trajectory. Robert makes the case that CDR needs a narrative shift away from speed and scale, toward prove and learn. They explore why aviation and shipping are largely ignoring carbon removal in their decarbonization plans, why voluntary demand may outpace compliance demand for the next decade or more, and why the sector should stop treating CDR as a last resort and start positioning it as a legitimate mitigation solution alongside everything else.”
YOUTUBE VIDEOSDefining “Fishery Sensitive” Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal | Fishery Friendly Climate Action “Fishermen and their representatives have been working through the Fishery Friendly Climate Action Campaign in partnership with the Responsible Offshore Development Alliance (RODA) and three regional coastal/ocean acidification networks to define core principles of “fishery sensitive” marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR).

AirMiners: OSCAR - The Open Standard Carbon Removal Agreement | AirMiners “Join AirMiners for a deep dive into OSCAR (Open Standard Carbon Removal Agreement), the open-source legal framework designed to accelerate carbon removal transactions.Contracts have been a major bottleneck in the carbon removal market — every deal requires custom negotiation, slowing adoption and increasing costs. OSCAR changes that by providing a free, standardized template that buyers and suppliers can use immediately.In this 1-hour session, we’ll be joined by the team behind OSCAR to discuss:Why standardized contracts matter for scaling carbon dioxide removal • How OSCAR works and what’s included in the framework • Early adoption and real-world use cases • What this means for buyers, suppliers, and the broader carbon removal market.”
The Climate Goal No One Is Talking About | Foundation for Climate Restoration “Cutting emissions won’t end the climate crisis. There’s already a trillion tons of CO₂ trapped in the atmosphere, and net-zero does nothing to remove it. This video explains what climate restoration is, why the science says it’s achievable by 2050, and how you can be part of the solution.For hundreds of thousands of years, CO₂ never rose above 300 parts per million. Today it’s over 425 ppm. Even if every country hit its net-zero targets tomorrow, that legacy CO₂ keeps heating the planet. Climate restoration is the goal of actually removing it, returning to pre-industrial levels within our lifetime.The Earth has done this before. Scientists have figured out how to replicate those natural processes at scale. What’s missing is public demand. That’s where you come in.”
Scrubbing the Skies: Biodiversity implications of land-intensive carbon dioxide removal | Institute for Responsible Carbon Removal “Decarbonization scenarios heavily rely on land-intensive carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to achieve ambitious climate targets. While carefully designed CDR programs can effectuate sustainable carbon removal, and in some cases environmental co-benefits, large-scale CDR reliance could also pose a critical risk to biodiversity conservation in some regions. Analysing scenario-based land allocation patterns for CDR allows us to scrutinize potential deployment implications and to suggest ways to foster both carbon removal and biodiversity protection.”
Complexity Economics - Financial Market Volatility and Carbon Removal Governance | Instituto de Economia da Unicamp “The seminar concludes by contrasting the mechanical metaphors of 19th-century economics with the Darwinian evolutionary science of the 21st century. Using the computer as a “microscope” for social complexity, the participants argue for a generative approach to economics where macro patterns emerge from the decentralized interactions of diverse, adaptive agents.Closing Insight: The transition toward complexity-based modeling is not merely a technical refinement but an ontological necessity for managing the existential challenges of the modern era.”
Risk, Responsibility, and the Path to Scale for Reforestation Carbon Credits | Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment “Reforestation projects for carbon dioxide removal are deployable at scale today, yet investment remains constrained by risks both real and perceived.New survey research from Stanford’s Sustainability Accelerator and Natural Climate Solutions Initiative reveals that while buyers and sellers could align on price in the $60-90/ton range, fragmented risk perceptions and a lack of consensus on who is responsible for mitigating key risks are blocking deals. In this webinar, we’ll present the key findings and host a panel discussion with Racheal Notto (Kita, a carbon market insurance company), Miguel Moraes (re.green, a reforestation project developer), and Julia Strong (Symbiosis Coalition, an advance market commitment for purchasing nature-based carbon removal) on what it will take to bridge these gaps. We’ll explore how mechanisms like clearer risk allocation frameworks, insurance products, and standardized offtake agreements could convert stated willingness to pay into realized transactions and unlock the next wave of reforestation investment.”
Working Group on carbon sequestration & GHG mitigation -role of restored floodplains as carbon sinks | MedWet - the Mediterranean Wetlands Initiative “This session featured the results of a study to assess the role of restored floodplain grasslands as carbon sinks (considering CO₂ and CH₄), carried out in the Morava River, one of the pilot cases in the Horizon REWET project.”
CUR8 & Microsoft at Goals House in Davos: Deploying a Carbon Removal Playbook at Scale| CUR8 - Carbon Removals “Carbon removal has crossed the threshold from what began as voluntary leadership now to commercial inevitability. We are now in a phase of pre-compliance: standards are crystallising, and the supply of high-integrity removals is tightening faster than most balance sheets are prepared for. For senior leaders, the choice is clear: secure credible terms now or face a later cost shock.Hosted by CUR8 and Microsoft, this will convene the companies that are actively building the market they need to buy from. This discussion will explore the move from carbon removal pilots to portfolios, and how first movers are shaping supply, standards, and financing to their advantage. We will discuss Microsoft’s experience of building an industry leading portfolio to define a scalable playbook for the wider economy and how this market-building logic translates into practical strategies across sectors and balance sheets.”
