For eons, Earth has relied on this process to balance its carbon cycle. What if it could be harnessed? What if we could do it faster, in larger quantities, and at a low enough cost to make it an effective tool in the fight against climate change?Ā At Heirloom, we are turning that into reality. We use the natural carbon capture properties of abundant minerals to pull CO2 from the air and store it permanently underground. We come to work every day to slow climate change, and are united behind a single, common goal - to remove 1 billion tons of CO2 from the sky by 2035, and to not stop before we get there."
"Andes has developed a Carbon Program based on carbon removal technology that uses beneficial microbes to convert COā into stable minerals in agricultural soils. In this Program, Andes partners with growers to apply microbial inoculants to agricultural fields across the US Midwest. The Operations team leads the execution of this program, which includes farmer enrollment, soil sampling, and credit verification. The Andes Technology team builds software tools that the Ops team relies on, including planning, day-to-day management, navigation, data collection, and data analysis. The result of this process is verified carbon credits that Andes sells to companies looking to achieve their sustainability goals. The Andes is in a phase of rapid expansion, and the tools that the Andes Technology team builds will be critical for the success of the Program."

"InPlanet is an enhanced weathering company spreading rock dust on agricultural fields to draw down CO2. In November, it announced a new investment of $4.6 million from a group of investors. Based in Germany, InPlanet collaborates with farmers in Brazil, aiming to remove 1 million tons of CO2 by 2026.As they work to scale their operations, they face a similar challenge all ERW operations are dealing with right now. While the basic science of rock weathering is well understood, accurately measuring CO2 removal in real-world conditions remains a significant hurdle.Ensuring trust in the process will require improved measurement and verification from what exists today- a problem InPlanet is working to solve.Ā On this episode weāre joined by InPlanetās Head of Carbon Matthew Clarkson who recently released pre-print research evaluating the different methods of measuring CO2 removal from rock weathering and made recommendations for areas of improvement.Ā ERW is technologically ready, has co-benefits, and has already attracted significant investment. It is ready to grow to climate relevant scale- but only if it can be properly measured.Ā We talk with Matthew about his MRV research, working on the ground with Brazilian farmers, and what hurdles he sees to InPlanetās goal of megaton removal in the next three years."

"Carbon removal is often conceived of as only separating greenhouse gases from ambient air. But what if it also creates other valuable products in the process? Should they still be selling carbon credits? Does this competition make it harder for carbon removal companies that can't produce additional value streams? What are the trade-offs here, and is financial additionality the right place to intervene if intervention is even necessary?In this episode of the Reversing Climate Change podcast, Nori Cofounder Ross Kenyon interviews Eric Matzner, an alumnus of Carbon Removal Newsroom and Cofounder of Project Vesta who has a new venture leaving stealth mode called Metalplant. This is Metalplant's podcast debut!This innovative project combines hyperaccumulator plants and enhanced rock weathering to extract nickel from soil and crushed rock while removing carbon from the air. Eric discusses the economics of co-producing nickel and carbon offsets, addressing the challenges of carbon removal scale-up, and his views on the importance of vertical integration in ensuring quality and cost control. The episode delves into Metalplant's initial operations in Albania, leveraging the country's rich olivine resources on non-arable land, and generating local employment.Much of the conversation focuses on a possibly looming intellectual crisis in carbon removal: what does the industry do when it realizes that many of its methodologies are co-producing value besides carbon? Will it try to find a way to square that with conventional applications of financial additionality, or will they abandon or amend additionality to make sure co-producers aren't held down while the world desperately needs them to scale their operations?"

Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide: The State of Responsible Primacy | Institute for Responsible Carbon Removal "Industrial carbon capture and carbon dioxide removal are important strategies to reach global and national net zero CO2 emissions targets and to keep global temperatures at or below 1.5Ā°C. The most common setting for permanently sequestering CO2 after it has been captured is underground, in very deep, impermeable rock formations. To regulate and monitor the sequestered CO2, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is charged with administering the Underground Injection Control (UIC) program, whereby it sets regulatory standards and processes applications for underground wells with the goal of preventing contamination of drinking water under the Safe Drinking Water Act.A new issue brief from the National Wildlife Federation ā Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide: The State of Responsible Primacy ā examines the question of who should have authority over carbon storage wells: states or the federal government, an issue known as āprimacy.ā It includes details on what it takes to successfully permit a carbon storage well, why the federal government has encouraged states to apply for primacy, and how states like North Dakota, Wyoming, and Louisiana came to acquire primacy.In this webinar, held March 25, 2024, our panelists, Jake Ferrell and Dr. Simone H. Stewart, discussed their recommendations for ensuring primacy is done responsibly, with an emphasis on environmental justice and community engagement."
