We need to think about scaling carbon removal, not just now, but well into the future. To do that we need a robust and effective policy framework. 💪 Beyond boosting funding for R&D and innovation for carbon removal and creating the incentives to get the projects off the ground, the EU must look at how carbon removal will fit into current policies and what initiatives it should craft to ensure a responsible trajectory for carbon removal going forward. We have drafted 5 recommendations for how the EU could do that 👇 Read more in our EU CDR Strategy: https://lnkd.in/eAJHeU_r #cdrforeurope #carbonremoval

Where should the next round of Horizon Europe funding go? Carbon removal certainly has a case... 💼   We participated in the latest round of consultation to make sure carbon removal is targeted. See our full consultation here: https://lnkd.in/eENNMi97 #CDRforEurope #carbonremoval

A low-carbon transition plan is a company's strategy to achieve emissions reductions and manage the transition to a low-carbon economy. Key elements: 🔑 Statement of ambition embodied in a science-based goal in line with the Paris Agreement 🔑 Information and transparency to help stakeholders understand how the company is approaching their transition 🔑 Alignment of resources and advocacy to set the plan in action Watch our latest #webinar on corporate #lowcarbontransition planning where C2ES Director of Corporate Low-Carbon Transition Planning Nicholas Franco shares more details. 📽️ https://bit.ly/3y4xXtx

📅Mark your calendars! The 2024 Buyer’s Guide to CDR Policy & Webinar launch next Tuesday, May 28!   2024 has already been an incredible year for carbon removal policy. Over the past few months, the EU has taken a huge step forward with finalization of the Carbon Removal Certification Framework, while the U.S. has significantly expanded pilot programs and legislative efforts across the country. 💡 While it’s an exciting time in CDR policy, it can also be a challenge for corporate sustainability leaders to keep track of what’s new, what’s changed, and what’s to come. 🚨 That’s why we’re bringing together top CDR policy experts from around the globe on Tuesday, May 28, at 4 p.m. CEST | 10 a.m. EST to talk through the latest in CDR policy, and to launch the newly updated 2024 Buyer’s Guide to CDR Policy. Join us for a brilliant panel that includes: Andrea Klaric, Policy Officer at European Commission, Directorate General for Climate Action (Low Carbon Solution Unit)  Giana Amador, Executive Director, Carbon Removal Alliance  Stefan Schlosser, Managing Director, Deutscher Verband für negative Emissionen e.V. (DVNE)  Ken Branson, Senior Policy Advisor for Climate, Energy, and Environment, California State Senate ➡️Sign up now at https://lnkd.in/euq7P4YM 🔥Those who register for the webinar (even if you can’t attend!) will receive early access to the 2024 Buyer’s Guide to CDR Policy. Authored by Carbonfuture’s Sebastian Manhart, the 2024 edition of this critical guide will cover what you need to know about the major CDR policy initiatives that will shape the market, the lessons coming out of CDR incubators like Germany, Denmark & California and much more. Be sure to join us on Tuesday, May 28 for a discussion you won’t want to miss! #cdrpolicy #sustainability #netzero #carbonremoval

Last week represented a significant milestone for the European Green Deal, marking what several observers defined as a noticeable shift towards industrial policy and its practical implementation.     Among key developments:   ➡ The European Commission’s proposal for the EU's 2040 carbon emission reduction target, advocating for a 90% net greenhouse gas emissions reduction by 2040. ➡ The EC's Communication on Industrial Carbon Management, emphasising the importance of carbon removals to complement measures aimed at reducing carbon emissions. ➡ The Council of the EU and European Parliament’s interinstitutional agreement on the Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA), which sets a non-binding target to produce domestically 40% of the clean technologies used in Europe by 2030 ➡ The interinstitutional agreement on the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP), which will not allocate new funding to clean tech but aims to better mobilise resources from existing funds.   🔎 Discover EERA’s full analysis: https://lnkd.in/eZA26_D3

Return Carbon and Texas-based Verified Carbon have joined forces to develop large-scale Direct Air Capture projects in the US.

Today is a landmark day for #climateaction and especially #carboncapture in Europe. The European Commission's recommendation for a 2040 climate target is clear: a rapid scale-up of carbon capture and storage infrastructure is needed over the coming decades - infrastructure which will serve our planet to keep and remove CO2 out of the atmosphere and put it back in the ground. See the full Communication here ➡ https://lnkd.in/djYkN3r3 The Industrial Carbon Management Strategy (also launched today) calls for a massive scale-up of CO2 storage capacity in Europe - 250 million tons per year by 2040. Given we have just 2 storage projects under construction in Europe currently, this is a massive task with no time to waste (we've done enough of that already). To give a sense of what's needed, this new analysis by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre provides an overview: https://lnkd.in/dWTvqBVH See the full Strategy here ➡ https://lnkd.in/diM4jVMx These announcements build on years of tireless work by environmental NGOs like Bellona Europa and my own organisation Clean Air Task Force, alongside industrial producers, technology providers, oil and gas companies, trade unions and dozens of other dedicated advocates - a special shoutout to my favourite Chris' in the CCS community (there's a lot): Chris Davies and Krzysztof (Chris) Bolesta who've spent years fighting to see days like today I'll be sharing more thoughts on the Strategy and Europe's progress on carbon capture soon but for now, check out our press releases on the 2040 target and Industrial Carbon Management Strategy here ⤵ https://lnkd.in/dkKrcyXx https://lnkd.in/db-XWv_n

The Biden Administration released a landmark Joint Policy Statement and Principles on May 28, 2024, formalizing the U.S. government’s approach to advancing high-integrity Voluntary Carbon Markets (“VCMs”) and affirming the importance of VCMs in efforts to decarbonize. The guidance also comes on the heels of increasing state-level action regarding VCMs and a similar move by the European Union to create a uniform certification framework for carbon removal activities.
