“Yard Stick is a remote-first climate tech startup with cofounders based in Boston, MA and Oakland, CA. We are on a mission to reverse climate change with agriculture. Scientists and farmers alike know that climate-friendly agricultural practices have the potential to remove atmospheric CO2 at gigaton/year scale. When these practices are adopted, more carbon is stored in soils, improving soil health and fighting climate change. But significant measurement challenges have held soil carbon efforts back - until now.”

“Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences seeks a Postdoctoral Scientist for a three-year position beginning as soon as possible, to model the vertical transport of carbon by marine zooplankton. This position is part of an ARPA-E funded project focused on monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of ocean fertilization marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) strategies. The successful candidate will construct a trait-based model of carbon transport by vertically migrating zooplankton. To do so, this person will analyze extensive optical datasets to determine key parameterizations for the model, alongside co-PIs at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Science (BIOS) who have collected and curated the datasets. This model will then be used for sensitivity analyses to optimize implementation of vertical migration and associated carbon transport in a separate coupled regional-biogeochemical ocean model, which will be constructed and implemented by co-PIs at UCLA.”

🎙️PODCASTSTech to Fight the Climate Crisis: An inspirational conversation with Amir Shiner | ModeX - Helping to build + grow technology companies![]() | 0:00 |
“In this episode of the ModeX Podcast, host Hayley Jones interviews Amir Shiner, Co-Founder of RepAir - a deep tech solution to fight the climate crisis through selectively grasping CO2 molecules from the air, and separating & storing them, through the efficient low energy technology solution they have created.50 billion tons of CO2 is released into the atmosphere every year! Around half of this can be handled by the planet - but the accumulation of the billions of tons, every year, which cannot, leaves us in a desperate situation.. the RepAir technology and the team behind it, are making a positive leap forward, to fight the climate crisis!Amir talks to us about the crisis, why we are in it, and how RepAir technology works, to help to combat this.A very inspiring, informative and important conversation.Amir recommends a book called 'Between a Rock and a Hard Place' by Aron Ralston, a true story which gives valuable life perspective.”

Fixing the messy voluntary carbon market | Catalyst with Shayle Kann | Fixing the messy voluntary carbon market Catalyst with Shayle Kann 48:28 |
“The voluntary carbon market is a mess. Oil majors, big tech, and many other industries purchase voluntary credits hoping to offset their carbon emissions. But years of reporting have revealed major problems in the industry, from worthless credits to outright fraud. Amid allegations that many of its credits might actually worsen global warming, the CEO of the largest issuer of credits, Verra, resigned last year.And so perhaps it’s no surprise that the market for traditional offsets like renewable energy credits and avoidance credits shrank in recent years. Yet the market for a newer type of credit, carbon removal, is actually growing.So what’s behind this bifurcation in the market? And are the voluntary carbon markets fixable?In this episode, Shayle talks to Ryan Orbuch, partner at Lowercarbon Capital. He leads the firm’s carbon removal work. Ryan argues the market is fixable with major reforms, like overhauling incentives and ditching the idea that the voluntary carbon market can offset buyers’ emissions with as many cheap credits as needed.Shayle and Ryan cover topics like:-The bad incentives underlying the problems with the current market.-The role of credit-rating agencies in the market.-Ryan’s ideas for designing a better market from scratch, including ex-post payments, modular protocols, and a feedback loop for improving supplier methods.-The potential challenges with these approaches, like financing prior to payment and uncertainty in credit delivery as protocols change.-Companies that are pioneering some of these approaches, like Isometric’s new protocol for the bio-oil geological storage technique used by Charm Industrial.”
“Graphyte’s Founder and CEO Barclay Rogers recently spoke with Dan Loney, host of Wharton Business Daily, Wharton's flagship show on SiriusXM Business Radio, about the company’s first carbon removal purchase agreement with American Airlines and how carbon casting can help other industries beyond aviation offset their carbon footprint.”

Our hard work was also recognized with another grant from the Israel Innovation Authority totaling, 5 million NIS to date. Furthermore, we proudly joined Climate First’s Cohort II, solidifying our position as a key player in climate tech space. These, are just to name a few of accomplishments that were achieved in 2023.”
Construction of the world's first commercial-scale Wood Vault | Carbon Lockdown “Wood Harvesting and Storage (WHS) is a 'deceptively simple' technology for carbon removal to combat climate change. Sustainably sourced residual woody biomass is stored in a specially engineered structure called Wood Vault. A few meters below a layer of low-permeability soil, in an oxygen-depleted environment, the wood is preserved and the embedded carbon that was recently captured from the atmosphere via photosynthesis is stored permanently. Wood vaulting is akin to the first step of natural coal formation, but at a drastically accelerated pace due to human intervention, offering a low-cost and powerful tool to undo fossil fuel emissions. This video shows the construction of the first trench of Carbon Lockdown's Potomac Project 1 where 100-tonne CO2-equivalent of un-merchantable wood residual was buried. http://carbonlockdown.net”
