A European CDR Purchasing Programme for Permanent Carbon Removal?Sounds too good to be true? Well, it may become a reality soon.On May 21st, the European Commission held a dedicated workshop on “A Purchasing Programme for CRCF Permanent Carbon Removal Credits”.As stated in its own excellent pre-read, Europe will need to fund CDR with up to €6 billion by 2030 to achieve its indicative target of 5 Mt/year.But where should this money come from? How should a purchasing programme be designed? And should it fund specific CDR technologies or take a broad portfolio approach?These are just some of the many fascinating questions that were tackled in the workshop. Tune in for this CDR Policy Scoop, where Eve Tamme and Sebastian Manhart will analyse everything that happened and discuss the most important takeaways for you.Links:Eve Tamme: LinkedIn and WebsiteSebastian Manhart: LinkedIn and WebsiteThe workshop pre-read by Ecologic InstituteWorkshop presentation and recordingBlog by Robert Höglund and Aidan Preston Hosted on Acast.

Public Subsidies + Carbon Credits: The winning combo? - with Erik Rylander
Many projects want to blend public funding with revenue from voluntary carbon markets as carbon removal scales up.Meanwhile, governments have different approaches to it.

We will dig into the real-world lessons from Stockholm Exergi’s journey and explore what policymakers and project developers need to know to make this approach work.Erik joins CDR Policy Scoop co-hosts Eve Tamme and Sebastian Manhart for an insightful and frank conversation on this controversial topic.Links:Eve Tamme: LinkedIn and WebsiteSebastian Manhart: LinkedIn and WebsiteErik Rylander: LinkedInBeccs StockholmCDR Accounting: Transparently structuring corporate claims to reconcile with national goalsWhen do sales of carbon removal credits benefit climate?Financing Engineered Carbon Removal — Combining Public Funding with Voluntary Carbon Markets Hosted on Acast.

Can we bank on Canada’s new PM to deliver carbon promises? - with Na'im Merchant
Against all odds, the Liberal Party just won the Canadian general elections. Mark Carney’s party explicitly campaigned to turn Canada into a global leader in carbon dioxide removal.Canada plans to do so by - among other things - extending its investment tax credit to 2035, supporting a broad range of CDR tech, and introducing dedicated CDR targets for 2035 and 2040.This all sounds incredibly promising. But will Canada be able to realise this ambition?No better person to answer this question than Na'im Merchant, Executive Director of Carbon Removal Canada, an organisation that has been instrumental in raising the profile of CDR in Canada over the last two years.Na’im joins co-hosts Sebastian Manhart and Eve Tamme for a fast-paced, 30-minute session that gets right to the heart of the debate.Links:Eve Tamme: LinkedIn and WebsiteSebastian Manhart: LinkedIn and WebsiteNa’im Merchant: LinkedInCanada: a safe haven for carbon removal innovation in an uncertain worldCarbon Removal CanadaCarbon CurveFrom ministers to mandate letters — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first 100 days in office matters to carbon removal Hosted on Acast.
