This key concept, additionality, is meant to ensure that the emission reductions would not have happened without the specific offset project.

Recent advancements in carbon capture technology and natural carbon sinks highlight the ongoing efforts and challenges in meeting global emissions reduction targets, emphasizing the need for innovative approaches and continued research. https://lnkd.in/d5nrSBwP

Swiss Federal Office of Energy SFOE and the Federal Office for the Environment FOEN have announced a new call for proposals under the SWEET funding program. This initiative aims to address challenging greenhouse gas emissions from industries, waste management, and agriculture, aligning with Switzerland's net-zero climate goal by 2050. The call, open until July 3, seeks innovative solutions to reduce emissions effectively. https://lnkd.in/dUBh26A6 Christoph Schreyer Alois Freidhof Simon Jungo Veronika Elgart Flavio Malaguerra Martin Jiskra Guillaume Cassaigneau Daniel Schaller Pierre Queloz Michael R.

🌟 Exciting News in Carbon Removal: Highlights From Our Newsletter! 🌟 📧 The second edition of our newsletter “The Carbonfuture Perspective” gives insight into an eventful second quarter: From facilitating multi-year carbon removal credit agreements and hosting impactful events such as the Carbonfuture Carbon Removal Summit 2024, to driving forward industry standards with our rigorous MRV, we've been busy advancing the #CDR industry together with our partners. Here's a glimpse into the newsletter: ► Facilitating a multi-year carbon removal credit agreement: Carbonfuture has signed a groundbreaking 7-year contract with Swiss Re to supply a minimum of 70,000 tonnes of biochar carbon removal (BCR) credits from the key supply partner Exomad Green. This partnership gives Swiss Re access to multiple high-quality carbon removal projects under a single contract, ensuring steady multi-year revenue for removal projects and reducing transaction costs for Swiss Re, serving as an example for others to follow. 🧭 ► Engaging prospective buyers and fostering industry dialogues: Our CDR Reception during San Francisco Climate Week and the Carbonfuture Carbon Removal Summit 2024 in London gathered corporate sustainability leaders and CDR experts to discuss the role of durable CDR in corporate sustainability and net-zero strategies and the need for robust MRV to build confidence. 💪 ► Advancing the scalability of carbon removal innovation through rigorous MRV: Carbonfuture’s digital MRV system will enable the collection of performance and verification data across the 20 Finalists competing for the XPRIZE Carbon Removal, in line with the rigorous standards set by XPRIZE. XPRIZE's verification partners will access this data through the Carbonfuture MRV+ system to verify the projects, setting new industry standards across all carbon removal pathways: Air, Oceans, Land, and Rocks. 🌍 Sign up to The Carbonfuture Perspective now to get more market updates and news ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eTcNed7F   In the meantime, find our latest edition here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eUdnq7ub   #CDR #carbonremoval #MRV #climateaction #sustainability #netzero

Last weeks Footprint+2024 conference at Old Billingsgate showcased a really broad line up of all the latest thinking around ESG and Net Zero with fascinating insights from the panel discussions. Lots to digest however some of the key takeaways were:-   The legislative and taxonomy frameworks provide a general reporting landscape to operate within however these are developing and so each building/project needs to evaluate what can be achieved to deliver real building performance change    The 10% biodiversity net gain requirement introduced through the recent planning update is helpful however 95% of biodiversity impacts are off site through the wider supply chain so due diligence is important beyond the site boundaries   Off site biodiversity credits can be a positive way of dealing with net gain as part of a broader more impactful and well managed long term plan (assuming the on site opportunities have been maximised first)   Understand your impacts and objectives and don't simply rely on certifications to get you there i.e. whole building energy forecasts not just regulated/base load, limited upfront carbon studies vs whole life carbon addressing all elements, building specific energy forecasts not notional forecasts using EPC ratings   Operational energy forecasts i.e. NABERS, assume defined parameters and occupier behaviours and testing these in use will truly establish how efficient the building operation is in practice (vs how well the building has been designed). We therefore need to drastically ramp up our occupier engagement to shift this significant operational energy/carbon input    Lots of positive work within real estate however if the latest forecasts are correct, we hit 1.35degC in 2023 which makes the 1.5degC limit by 2050 look even more challenging so plenty still to do!   Thanks to FOOTPRINT+ and all the contributors for sharing their knowledge. #netzero #biodiversity #behaviourchange

It sure takes teamwork and innovativeness when it comes to moving forward towards reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability. 🌏 However, building a better tomorrow goes beyond just this. We have to be constantly in search for new and creative solutions. Let’s go deeper into this matter:  🌱   #OilAndGas #Renewbles #Research #KiMESCO
