Reversing Climate Change’s Post

I really enjoyed speaking with Eric Matzner on this episode. As carbon removal develops, I personally think there will be a tendency towards coproduction. Companies fully dependent upon carbon markets will be vulnerable to price fluctuation. Right now many carbon removal transactions are over-the-counter or mediated by a marketplace. Prices seem to be set by the seller and negotiated. In the future I believe we will see more liquidity and competition within grades of CDR, and suppliers will take prices rather than set them (not always, but for much of carbon removal I expect this to have an effect.) At that point, companies will want to have secondary (or even primary business lines!) uncorrelated or even anticorrelated from carbon pricing. That is how to build a robust and scalable CDR industry imho. These companies that can coproduce should be able monetize the net carbon removed. My hypothesis is that if these companies can fully monetize all of these value streams they will scale quickly and profitably and inspire loads of imitators, which is what we need to get to gigatonne scale. Applying financial additionality against these companies will slow carbon removal growth and not give us anything worth the slowed rate of PPM reduction. There is so much more to say about this, but Eric and I discuss this dynamic in detail in this episode of Nori’s Reversing Climate Change podcast. I highly recommend checking it out. I’d love to hear your thoughts on my own personal speculation!

Looking forward to learning more about UNDO and their enhanced weathering carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods. I heard the CEO, Jim Mann interviewed on the CarbonCurve podcast last week (https://lnkd.in/etRbkp56) and just saw this article on Kathari.News. Innovators and entrepreneurs have the capacity to help us to lower the cost of reducing our CO2 emissions as well as reducing the cost of removing past emissions. I hope our public policy focus targets both. Simply, we need an all-hands-on-deck attitude if we’re going to find the lowest cost and most effective ways to reduce the concentration of CO2 in our atmosphere.

🌎🆕 Climate Correction Podcast episode!🌎🔊 🎙Starting our fourth season!🎙 Jason Dodier, Co-Founder of the GRAIN Ecosystem, is a visionary American business professional committed to revolutionizing carbon dioxide removal global project development through digitization, transparency, and increased access to capital. Based in New York City, he played a key role in advancing Energy as a Service microgrid in the U.S., notably contributing to the groundbreaking JFK's New Terminal One Microgrid. A circular economy is an economic system aimed at minimizing waste and making the most of resources. In a circular economy, resources are kept in use for as long as possible, extracting the maximum value from them, and then recovering and regenerating products and materials at the end of each service life. This contrasts with the traditional linear economy model, which follows a "take-make-dispose" pattern. The circular economy is based on several principles, including designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems. It encourages practices such as recycling, reuse, remanufacturing, and the use of renewable energy sources. Biochar is a type of charcoal produced from biomass (organic matter) through pyrolysis, which involves heating the biomass without oxygen. Biochar is known for its potential benefits in agriculture, carbon sequestration, and soil improvement. 🔊Listen now here : https://bit.ly/3uSB5XT 🔊 https://lnkd.in/eihYcMNd #EnglishPodcast #Podcasting #Podcaster #NewSeason #Season4 #ClimateCorrection #Florida #CircularEconomy

🚀 🚀 🚀 S1-E01_"Turning metals Green”: from conventional steel-making to low carbon emission process with SMS group. The first episode of the #Green_Transition_podcast is out! 🎆 In this episode we talk with Thiago Campos – co-head of the Green steel at the SMS group.   I remember for writing graduation project everyone at my university’s group wanted to get an internship at the metallurgical enterprise, with steel production plants to be on top – because we were environmental engineers and metallurgical industry have been giving many opportunities for environmental engineering improvements. Simply speaking, the processes contribute heavily to the carbon emissions. Hea-vi-ly. You cannot imagine how impressed I was to be introduced to the SMS Group and the Green steel concept that allows for emission reductions of way over 50%, and even net zero is becoming a reality.   In this episode we discuss: 🔹 How the conventional metallurgical process looks like 🔸 What are the differences between iron and steel (there is just one tiny difference, did you know that?) and that the conventional production process takes place in a furnace higher than a cottage 🔹 What is the meaning behind the color labels for hydrogen and related technologies: Grey vs. Blue vs. Green hydrogen 🔸 What is Green steel and how this technology is different from the conventional route 🔹 Importance of the steel industry here in Luxembourg 🇱🇺 🔸 And the biggest challenges for the industry and possible ways to address them We really hope you will enjoy the talk! Find out more at the first episode, the Podcast team *** "Green Transition" is a podcast where we aim to give a big picture for the Green Energy transition with a specific focus on H2 technologies through reviewing the full value chain and interconnecting all the related fields.

I’m 🔥 overjoyed 🔥 to see a 🇫🇷 French startup 🇫🇷 taking the lead with breakthrough technology to turn air into low-carbon energy sources for transportation that can soon be priced at parity with hydrocarbon-based fuels. The energy-tech startup Aerleum, headquartered in Strasbourg, has raised €5.5 billion in a seed funding round  led by 360 Capital and HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds. Other investors participating include Bpifrance, Norrsken VC and Marble. I am SO GLAD the Earth isn’t going to get trapped into a default solution of capturing carbon, burying it in the ground and desperately hoping it stays there. The carbon has value once it is extracted from the atmosphere and, frankly, I’m relieved that Aerleum is committed to turning carbon into e-fuels. Its first objective is to turn 1 billion metric tons of CO2 into methanol. Why is that important? Shifting from traditional hydrocarbon-based fuels to green methanol can reduce CO2 emissions 60% to 95%.[Source: World Economic Forum].  Other benefits include slashing nitrogen oxide emissions 60% to 80% and practically doing away with emissions of particulate matter and sulfur oxide. Bottom line: Aerleum is good news for our friend the Earth. 🌍 #efuel #cleanfuel #methanol  #greenmethanol  🌍 REG CROWDER - Freelance writer, journalist & editor - www.RegCrowder.com 🌍 https://lnkd.in/eE8n9htB
