🌍 Decarbonising Heavy Industry: Carbo Culture’s Green Transition Solutions for Steel At Carbo Culture, we believe tackling climate change requires bold action on two fronts: scaling carbon removal and decarbonising hard-to-abate industries. Today, we’re proud to announce our strategic expansion into green steel, a sector crucial to reducing global emissions. 🔧 Why Steel? Steel production accounts for 7-9% of global CO₂ emissions, and Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) are pivotal in this green transformation. But there’s a need for sustainable alternatives to fossil carbon. Enter Carbo Culture biochar, a cleaner, high-quality replacement for coke in EAFs and Blast Furnaces, capable of reducing up to 85% of EAF emissions. 🔗 Every ton of our biochar used in metallurgy can cut 3+ tons of CO₂ emissions, enabling steelmakers to meet stricter EU ETS regulations and reduce carbon tax exposure. Let’s reshape the future of heavy industries together. Please read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/dRWcGGJt 📩 Interested in exploring collaboration?

What an energising morning hosting our site visit at Carbo Culture's R3 carbon removal plant in Kerava! 🌍✨ On day one of Slush, we welcomed a fantastic group of climate-conscious investors and innovators for an up-close look at our biochar technology. From warm drinks to hard hats, the tour was filled with insightful discussions on the role of biochar in carbon removal, high-tech agriculture and green steel. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the early start and helped make the morning memorable. Your enthusiasm and curiosity inspire us. Special thanks to our team, for organising the event and for showcasing how our Carbolysis™ technology contributes to decarbonising industries. Stay tuned as we continue scaling impact! 🚀 #CarbonRemoval #ClimateTech #Biochar #GreenSteel #CarboCulture #Slush2024 #BCR

This week, the Negative Emissions Platform Members have gathered in Brussels for a series of discussions with EU policymakers. Over three days, NEP held meetings with influential figures in the European Commission, Parliament, and Council, who are instrumental in shaping the EU's approach to carbon removal (CDR).   We highlighted key steps to strengthen Europe’s role in CDR and climate leadership: ♾️  The importance of separate targets for permanent CDR in the revision of the EU Climate Law  ♾️ The need for immediate public and private funding to support the sector and begin scaling up  ♾️ A call for a compliance market for CDR to drive meaningful action   The message is clear: ❗ the time for action is now❗ Without decisive steps, the EU risks falling short of its climate targets and losing the chance to foster a thriving European CDR industry.   For a deeper dive into our key positions, please read NEP's paper on how carbon removals can bolster EU competitiveness: 🌐 https://lnkd.in/dU589qSG Thank you, Heirloom, Climeworks, Stockholm Exergi, Drax Group, Carbon Engineering, Rewind, neustark, Bioenergy Europe, Ørsted, Novocarbo, Carbo Culture, Carbonfuture, Isometric, Dansk Fjernvarme

🇪🇺 A call for supporting carbon removals in the next EU mandate 🇪🇺 Together with 44 other organisations, Carbo Culture has written to Climate Commissioner-designate Wopke Hoekstra ahead of his confirmation hearing in the European Parliament urging him to adopt a set of policies to support a sustainable scale-up of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in the next EU mandate. Here are our 4 key recommendations: 1. Set separate targets for emissions reductions and carbon removals in the revision of the Climate Law 2. Boost CDR funding to scale up both early- and later-stage technologies 3. Provide clarity for buyers of CDR in the Green Claims Directive, strengthening the integrity of climate claims 4. Create stable demand for carbon removals through a compliance market and long-term policy support   Carbon removals are vital for reaching net zero. With the new European Commission being formed, this is a pivotal moment to ensure carbon removals become a pillar in Europe’s fight against climate change.   Read the full letter here: https://bit.ly/4fhRO8i #ClimateAction #CarbonRemoval #NetZero #EU

🎉 We’re thrilled to announce that Carbo Culture has won the SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen Carbon-to-Value Challenge! 🎉 On October 11th in Leipzig, Germany, we were recognised for our conductive, carbon-negative concrete. This innovative technology not only reduces CO2 emissions but also brings enhanced strength and conductivity to concrete, opening the door to exciting new applications. Hosted by SPRIND, the German Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation, the challenge focused on finding groundbreaking solutions to turn carbon emissions into valuable products. We are incredibly proud to have been selected among the winners, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz recognising the potential of all participating teams to shape the future of European innovation. Special thanks to the entire SPRIND team for their unwavering support. Together, we are proving that decarbonisation in the construction sector is possible today with scalable solutions like Biographite® technology.

53 Companies Unite for a Sustainable Future in Carbon Removal! We are thrilled to announce that Carbo Culture has joined forces with 51 leading organisations to endorse the Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Industry Commitments. This groundbreaking initiative sets a new standard for the carbon removal sector, reinforcing our collective dedication to combat climate change and meet the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement. 🔍Why This Matters: The CDR Industry Commitments represent a significant moment for our industry, aligning with the scientific consensus that to achieve net zero, we must not only reduce emissions but also remove 5-10 gigatons of CO2 annually by 2050.  📌 Key Pillars of the Commitments: - Clear Definitions: Establishing what CDR truly entails and its crucial role in climate action.  - Commitment to Science: Acknowledging the necessity of CDR in our climate strategies.  - Sustainability & Transparency: Upholding the highest standards of accountability and adherence to regulations.  - Public Engagement: Ensuring inclusivity and equity in carbon removal activities. As signatories of these commitments, we are taking responsibility for the growth and integrity of the CDR sector. We invite all players in the CDR sector to join us in this shared commitment to building a future where carbon removals are done the right way, with accountability at its core.  Access the Commitments:  https://lnkd.in/eP7d4dh5   Negative Emissions Platform #cdr #netzero
