Carbon Business Council’s Post

🎬 Legion 44 — The world’s first Carbon Removal Documentary 🎞️ The film chronicles CDR developers and ecosystem players, and many from the Global South, who are building carbon removal solutions to help the world stay below 1.5 degrees Celsius. 👏🏻 We are excited to share the teaser for the upcoming film and thrilled to see many Carbon Business Council members featured, including Carbonfuture, Cella, Heirloom, Lithos Carbon, Octavia Carbon, Seafields Solutions Limited, and Silicate. 🗓️ Join the first screening in-person in NYC during Climate Week.

🌍 The @ 4 Corners Carbon Coalition is making significant strides in carbon removal by supporting innovative local projects in the Four Corners region. 🤝 Founded by local governments in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Boulder County, Flagstaff, and Salt Lake City, the coalition has awarded $725,000 in grants over the past two years to projects that repurpose liability biomass — potentially flammable or dangerous materials such as forest debris, yard waste, and municipal organic waste — into valuable carbon removal solutions, like biochar. 🌲These projects help address climate challenges like wildfire risk and contribute to long-term carbon storage. 🏘️ With support from local communities and leading experts, the 4 Corners Coalition demonstrates how local governments can invest in carbon removal while prioritizing responsible deployment, resilience, and community-driven solutions. 💡 Learn more about how carbon removal can not only curb wildfires but also contribute to building sustainable communities: https://lnkd.in/e3nUu_VW #CarbonRemoval #LocalGovernments #ClimateTech

🎉 Presentations from the FECM/NETL 2024 Carbon Management Research Project Review Meeting are now publicly available! 💡 The meeting featured insights from more than 150 Department of Energy-sponsored research and development (R&D) projects from the Fossil Energy and Carbon Management R&D programs, including Carbon Dioxide Removal. 📊 Presentations include those from Carbon Business Council members: Holocene, CarbonCapture Inc. Ebb Carbon, and many research institutes and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s national labs. 🌍 We’re thrilled to see continued research and innovation for the CDR sector. 🔗 Access the presentations here: https://lnkd.in/g_XMe4Cd #carbonremoval #climatetech #netl

🌍 As a network partner, we’re excited to share that Brinc's Climate Tech Accelerator Program is accepting applications from carbon removal founders now to Sept 2! 🚀This 12-week virtual program offers tailored support to help founders align on customized fundraising, commercial, and technical objectives. Through Brinc's extensive global network, participants will connect with potential corporate partners, investors, and critical mentors, like Alvin Lee of Puro.earth, Varsha Ramesh Walsh of Offstream (YC S24) and Isabella Corpora of Carbon Business Council, to accelerate their progress on the climate journey.   The program covers a range of carbon removal technologies, including: 🌬️ Direct air capture 🪨 Mineralization 🌊 Ocean carbon removal 🌳 Biomass carbon removal and storage (BiCRS) like biochar and bio-oil 🛠️ Enabling technologies including MRV tools ⭐And more! ✅Eligible startups—those incorporated with at least two full-time founders and technologies at TRL4+—can receive up to $100K in support. 👏Program alumni include Carbon Business Council members Vycarb and Gaia Refinery, who have already made significant strides in the industry. 💡Learn more and apply here: https://lnkd.in/ghmEFxT3 #CarbonRemoval #ClimateTech #StartupAccelerator

💂Carbon Business Council is heading to London!🇬🇧 😊 We are excited to share that Director Isabella Corpora is speaking at Carbon Unbound Europe this September 11-12, 2024 to dive into what's business-critical for 2024 and beyond to achieve one gigaton of carbon removed from Earth's atmosphere. 👋 We look forward to seeing many of you in London! 🎟️ Find out more information on the website Carbon Unbound Europe - https://lnkd.in/gEaJC9w6 #carbonremoval #gigatonscale #climatetech

🇺🇸 The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) has announced a major boost for carbon dioxide removal technologies, with up to $52.5 million available through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, to drive innovation in direct air capture (DAC) technology. 🏆 The Commercial Direct Air Capture Pilot Prize is designed to support direct air capture technology developers and help de-risk and demonstrate the commercial viability of these technologies, with a focus on real-world deployment. Developers will have the opportunity to design, build, commission, and operate DAC pilot facilities capable of capturing at least 500 tonnes of atmospheric CO2 annually. Competitors will also demonstrate their potential to contribute to, or participate in, the Regional Direct Air Capture Hubs program. 🏅Winning teams could receive up to $12 million each as they successfully achieve design, development, and deployment milestones through four phases: Concept, Engineer, Permit, and Operate, and ultimately operate a pilot direct air capture system for at least 2,000 hours. 📨 Phase 1 is now open for applications through February 7, 2025. 📣 Read the full announcement and access the application here: https://lnkd.in/gNcAxiEx #CarbonRemoval #DirectAirCapture #DAC #ClimateAction #FECM

We recently responded to the UK Government Department for Energy Security and Net Zero on Integrating Greenhouse Gas Removals in the UK Emissions Trading Scheme. We applaud the UK government’s ambitious intention to support demand-side support for CDR with the ETS integration and offered the following comments in response to the questions listed in the consultation: 💡 It is critical that quality standards for the UK ETS (and other GGR markets) be criteria-based, and not pick or enumerate individual winners, in order to let the full range of GGR solutions innovate and compete to deliver the highest climate impact, at the lowest cost and with the most co-benefits. 📈 Delivering the scale of GGRs necessary to meet Paris Agreement goals will require rapid and massive policy intervention from world governments in every geography. The CO2BC encourages the Authority to widen geographical eligibility as soon as practicable. 🤝 We applaud DESNZ’s commitment to high quality standards and methodologies and encourage engagement and alignment with counterparts in the European Union, United States, UNFCCC, and other key national and multilateral governing bodies.
