The Carbon Removal Show goodie-bag...🍬🧁
We're taking a short break this week so stay tuned for Episode 9 next Wednesday. In the meantime we've put together some carbon-removal treats for you while you wait!
We’re not releasing an episode this week so feel free to take this moment to revisit an episode you’ve missed or digest what you’ve already learned! We’ll be back next Wednesday with another fascinating episode for you but in the mean time we thought we’d send all you ‘carbon-removal nerds’ like us out there a few recommendations. Read on to find out what The Carbon Removal Show team have been reading, listening to and watching recently.
📖 We’ve been thinking about the opportunities and perils of being a first mover in brave new CDR territory - like Russ George! Have a read about his controversy-sparking work in this article: https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/2019/5/24/18273198/climate-change-russ-george-unilateral-geoengineering
📖 This thought-provoking article looks at the bigger picture and the long-term role that CDR could play in modifying our climate beyond limiting our current global warming: https://theconversation.com/beyond-net-zero-we-should-if-we-can-cool-the-planet-back-to-pre-industrial-levels-187781
🌐 https://www.cdr.fyi/ - our favourite new website to refresh daily! Bringing transparency to the CDR market, this website accurately reports on the latest CDR purchases, deliveries and verifications.
📖 After falling head over heels for the Orca plant in Iceland, we’re eagerly watching on as bigger direct air capture plans come closer to fruition: https://www.digitaljournal.com/tech-science/worlds-largest-carbon-removal-project-to-break-ground-in-wyoming/article
📖 Interesting explainer on what CarbonPlan are doing around CDR verification, this is one for the more hardcore CDR geeks out there: https://carbonplan.org/research/cdr-verification-explainer
🎧 And if your ears are missing having something to listen to this week. This episode of ‘Thoughts in Between’ sees the host Matt Clifford speaking to Michelle You, Co-Founder and CEO of Supercritical - a start up helping companies achieve Net Zero through carbon removal. It’s a great listen!
📺 And to finish up here’s a silly song our researcher Henry found about the complexities around offsetting!
