😶‍🌫️ New US CDR Policy Rulebook: Don’t make it the star of the show 😶‍🌫️ 1/8 🧵

💚 Why do we need carbon dioxide removal (#CDR)? 💚 It's actually pretty simple... ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

How can we use social media to scale CDR? 📱 💙 No surprises here: I am a huge believer in the use of digital communications and social media to advance the carbon removal sector. 1/8 🧵

⬇️ If you listen to one thing today, it's this ⬇️ 💚 I’ve done many CDR podcasts over the years, but this might just be the most impactful. You can watch the full episode on our LinkedIn page or listen to it here: 🔗 Spotify: lnkd.in/duQmjwSZ 🔗 Apple: lnkd.in/dFisWC3z 1/4

😮 Will the EU need twice as much CDR as expected? 😮 🧵 1/8

😱 Stanford study: current methodologies systematically underestimate biochar’s durability 1/8 🧵

I owe you all an apology. My previous post about current developments in the U.S. Department of Energy added the wrong kind of fuel to the fire. I stated that it was the end of CDR at DoE and that the CDR team at the DoE might be gone. I was wrong. 1/4 🧵

👋 Goodbye CDR in the U.S. Department of Energy 🇺🇸 No government department in the world has done more for the growth of the carbon removal industry than the U.S. DoE. Unfortunately, that seems to have come to an abrupt and tragic end. 1/6 🧵

🇩🇪 Germany is going to the polls: what does this mean for CDR? 🇩🇪 1/10 🧵

😍 Finally: a database with ALL EU funding opportunities for CDR 😍 💥 Carbon Gap strikes again: this time, they have developed an open-source, searchable database of all 620 funding opportunities for CDR startups in Europe. 1/6 🧵

⚠️ What is happening at the US DoE? ⚠️ 😡 Over the last few days, the US Department of Energy (DoE) has fallen victim to Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government of Efficiency (DOGE) and thousands of staff lost their jobs (as many as 12.5% of the DoE). 1/7 🧵

Tune in today! Clash of minds on #CDR and #EUETS with @sebastianmanhart.bsky.social : www.linkedin.com/events/72956... #CDRscoop

💚 It’s important – particularly in tough times – to zoom out and remember our *WHY* 💚 📽️ Check out my latest video for why I work in CDR. ⚓ What about you? What keeps you anchored to *YOUR WHY*?

🇪🇺 Should biochar carbon removal (#BCR) be integrated into the EU Emission Trading System (#EUETS)? 🇪🇺 🔥 This is one of the hottest CDR topics currently being debated in Brussels and beyond. And its impact goes way beyond BCR and the EU ETS. 1/8 🧵

💪 Let’s walk the talk and make CDR conferences more sustainable 💪 ✈️ Over a year ago, I picked a bone with you all about flying around the world to attend climate conferences. The post got lots of people engaged and I was glad to see that there are organisations taking this seriously. 1/8 🧵

💭 Want to find out what I *really* think of the state of CDR and where it’s going? 💭 👀 Then check out my interview with CleanTechnica, the world’s #1 source for cleantech news and analysis, with a reach of 6 million monthly global readers and hundreds of thousands of social media followers. 1/2

Who says fighting climate change can't be fun? Here is a special moment from our last CDRscoop with @sebastianmanhart.bsky.social and @roberthoglund.bsky.social. Enjoy! Full 30-min live session: www.linkedin.com/in/evetamme/... Podcast version: episodes.fm/1790305658

😣 Missed our CDR Triple Threat CDR Scoop earlier this week? 🔥 We’ve got good news for you. You can now listen to Eve Tamme, Robert Höglund, and myself get deep into the “like-for-like” principle (and hear me get ROASTED by Robert) on the latest episode of the CDR Policy Scoop. 1/2

📊 Only 1.3% of CDR roles are in policy. That’s a problem. 🧐 Policy is central to scaling CDR, yet policy roles remain critically underrepresented. Let's take a look. 💼 Out of 2,865 jobs recorded by CDRjobs, only 38 have been in policy, just 1.3% and a stark contrast to what is needed. 1/4 🧵

🚨 A record-breaking year for CDR: CDR.fyi's 2024 Year in Review is here 🚨 🥁 The moment we have all been waiting for: CDR.fyi just released its amazing 2024 review, packed with incredibly useful and easily digestible information on the state of the carbon dioxide removals (#CDR) market. 1/0 🧵

🌊 Can mCDR ride the turbulent waves in the US? 🤯 Did you know that the ocean covers 70% of the Earth and serves as its largest carbon sink, holding 42 times the carbon in the atmosphere? 1/8 🧵 #carbonremoval #climatepolicy #oceans

What's behind the like-for-like principle? Lots to unpack. @roberthoglund.bsky.social joins @sebastianmanhart.bsky.social and me for a punchy, insightful, and heated debate on this topic at the next CDR Policy Scoop. Tune in on 5 Feb, 11.30 am CET: www.linkedin.com/events/72919... #CDRscoop

🤔 Like for like - the policy silver bullet? 🤔 🏛️ In carbon removal policy circles, these three simple words seem to come up more and more. ▶️ Green Claims Directive: use like for like. ▶️ Corporare net zero claims: follow like for like. 1/6 🧵

🇨🇦 Canada is quickly and quietly leading the way in carbon dioxide removal (#CDR) 1/6 🧵

🇪🇺 77% of you believe that Europe is where CDR policy action is going to happen in 2025 - time to get your hands dirty 🇪🇺 1/8 🧵

🌟 The most important slide show of the year is out 🌟 📊 Nat Bullard just released his annual decarbonisation deck. 200 carefully curated graphs that provide you with a full overview of how decarbonisation is progressing. It is the single most insightful deck I see each year. 1/6 🧵

💰 CDR FUNDING OPPORTUNITY 💰 In case you missed it in the flurry of the craziness that is December, Tencent launched its CarbonX Program 2.0 to Accelerate Climate Tech Innovation at the end of last year. 1/7 🧵

🤫 Brazil: the best kept secret in carbon removal? 🤫 🇧🇷 Here are a few mind-boggling stats about Brazil: 🟢 28% of the world’s biomass is in Brazil 🟢 93% of its electricity comes from renewable sources 🟢 The Parana Basin alone has a geological storage capacity of 270Mt / year 1/8 🧵

😡 Here we go again 😡 🦴 I have a bone to pick: over and over again, modelling of carbon dioxide removal potential in policy circles neglects some of the most important technologies available. And it has real-world implications. 1/9 🧵

👣 What if I told you there’s an easy way to reduce your carbon footprint by up to 50%? 👣 🏦 And I am not talking about eating less/no meat, switching to renewable energy, and flying less (although you should be doing all of that…) It is something much easier to change: your bank 1/9 A thread🧵

How will the European Union fund permanent #CarbonRemoval? The day after #EuropeanCommission workshop on this topic, @sebastianmanhart.bsky.social and I will discuss our take on #EUfunding in our next #CDR Policy Scoop. Tune in Wed 29 Jan at 6 pm CET: www.linkedin.com/events/72895...

🇪🇺 How will we finance carbon removals in the European Union? 🇪🇺 💷 The million euro question. Tomorrow - Tuesday 28th - the European Commission is hosting a workshop dedicated exactly to this question. 1/5

🇨🇭 Switzerland leading the way, again: >€100m for CCS/CDR 🇨🇭 🧐 My feed has been filling up with posts on Switzerland - rightly so. Let’s recap what happened and put it into the broader picture of Swiss climate policy. 1/7

So it begins: Trump halts $300b in green infrastructure funding 🛑 ✒️ Through an executive order, the Trump administration has announced a freeze on $300 billion allocated under two key legislative achievements of the Biden era the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law . 1/5

🌱 Turning over a new leaf 🔥 It’s no secret that I’m a die-hard #TeamBiochar. I’ve been involved with biochar carbon removal #BCR for years now on many different fronts, from the European Biochar Industry Consortium (EBI) in Europe to the US Biochar Coalition (USBC) in the United States. 1/5

🤔 Quiz Monday: how much carbon will this pile of biochar remove? 🤔 ⁉️ Take a guess in the comments - whoever gets closest will have their January CO2 footprint compensated with high-quality biochar carbon removal by Exomad Green and backed up by Carbonfuture’s trust infrastructure. 1/4

Trump’s second term: what does it mean for carbon removal? On Monday, Donald Trump will start his 2nd term as the 47th president of the United States. Time for a @cdrpolicyscoop to make sense of it all. 🔗 Sign-up for this unmissable Scoop on Tuesday the 21st at 6pm CET here: lnkd.in/d9sNVdwb 1/2

😱 Something big is coming… 😱 🤩 Let’s just say: it involves the world’s largest carbon dioxide removal facility in Riberalta, Bolivia, as well as Mathew and the Exomad Green dream team Diego, Francesco, Marcelo, and Bart. 🔥 And, of course, lots and LOTS of biochar. 👀 Watch this space…
