This is an excellent overview of the nature of our bumpy transition to renewable electric generation.
Carbon removal only works on a large scale if we can quantify the carbon removed and prove it out to the world. The amount of work that goes into quantifying carbon removal is staggering, including modeling, in-situ measurements, and lab work done by so many experts like carbon accountants, biogeochemists, oceanographers, engineers, lab techs, and many others. If you're curious how we're doing it and are a huge fan of transparency in this sector (I am!), then I encourage you to go take a look at our document library.
Eager to dig deep into the methodology and quantification of our carbon removal work? We invite you to browse through our Document Library, which includes sample quantification work, our foundational documents, ongoing research, and much more. We are constantly updating this page, so be sure to check back often for updates.

The Gippsland New Energy Conference #GNEC24 at Traralgon in early September was buzzing with all the opportunity and action that a clean energy future presents for #Gippsland. Including Circular Economy in the discussion and planning for Gippsland's renewable energy future can help make this a truely clean economy transformation for region, and lead the way for the rest of Australia. It was great to see a conversation growing about how we circularise materials, products, and services in this new clean energy pathway. This covered how to design energy infrastructure to maximise material efficiency and longevity. The carbon footprint of a solar farm, a substation, a transmission tower, HV cables, and onshore wind turbine goes beyond just how green the electrons passing through them are. The conference also raised how to build a supply chain that looked at repairing, re-furbishing, and remanufacturing components and equipment, aswell as making products out of recycled materials. Big thanks to Gippsland Climate Change Network Inc. for hosting such an amazing event and encouraging #circularity to be in the conversation.

The European Union has taken a bold step towards a more sustainable future. The recently unveiled strategic plan aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a whopping 90% by 2040, surpassing the targets set by the 2015 Paris Agreement. This ambitious proposal calls for a complete overhaul of the bloc's energy infrastructure, including extensive deployment of renewable systems, phasing out coal, and reducing reliance on gas. The plan also requires significant transformations across sectors such as transportation, agriculture, and waste management. This is an important step towards a greener future. #sustainability #paris2015 #emissionsreduction #traceability Source: https://lnkd.in/ePUd_bde

Today Commission launched the European Solar Academy. After the European Battery Academy, this is the second in a series of EU Academies to be set up under the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) to get the necessary skills along the net-zero technologies value chains. NZIA academies develop learning content with the industry according to their needs. Could this be a potential model to strengthen knowledge about standards and have more experts active in standardisation for clean tech? This is what Workstream 1 of the High-Level Forum on European standardisation discussed last Tuesday, 18 June, in Delft, during the conference “Education on standardisation in Europe” ( programme: https://lnkd.in/eXydt-Cm) Rudi Bekkers Johannes Koch Sophie Müller Andrei Bunis Oana Penu #StandardsEducation #NetZeroIndustry #HLF #HighlevelForumonEuropeanStandardisation #SustainableEurope #CleanTech #EducationAndSkills https://lnkd.in/eyB-J6s7
