  • Scaling technology-based CDR

    Reaching gigaton-scale carbon dioxide removal by midcentury is crucial for mitigating the impacts of climate change. Carbon180's Road to 2030 outlines actionable policy blueprints for achieving this goal through ocean, technological, and agricultural carbon removal pathways. The US has the potential to lead the global market in carbon dioxide removal technologies, but faces barriers such as lack of public funding, demand, standards, and community trust. The newly released federal policy roadmap, Scaling Technology-based Carbon Dioxide Removal, provides recommendations to address these gaps and advance the growth of the carbon removal industry. The importance of advancing federal research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) alongside building infrastructure, creating durable markets, and strengthening standards in order to scale up Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies is emphasized in the roadmap, serving as a starting point for policymakers, researchers, and advocates looking to advance CDR solutions and ensure the US remains a leader in technological CDR.

  • Introducing the demand triangle

    To effectively address climate change, cutting emissions and actively removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere are necessary. The US has made progress in this area, but challenges remain, including a small and concentrated market for carbon removal. A three-part policy framework called the "Demand Triangle" is proposed to address these challenges, including public procurement, shifting costs to industrial emitters, and leveling the playing field with trade policy. This framework aims to support the growth of a successful carbon removal industry while limiting consumer exposure to price increases, ultimately leading to the US leading a global carbon removal industry worth up to $1 trillion by 2050. The section discusses the importance of finding solutions that benefit the climate, industry, and communities most affected by climate change, emphasizing the need for action to address the consequences of inaction.

  • A Company Funded by Bill Gates Wants to Capture BC’s Carbon

    A Bill Gates-backed American startup, Graphyte, plans to build a carbon-storage facility in Valemount, B.C., which could start operating as early as next January. The facility aims to capture carbon from forestry and agriculture industries by compressing unusable organic matter into bricks that do not decompose and burying them underground. Graphyte has sold carbon credits to companies like Microsoft and J.P. Morgan to offset their emissions. The company's initiative, called "Project Red Cedar," is expected to bring 20 jobs to the community and repurpose the local industrial park. Enkon consulting firm is ensuring compliance with environmental regulations for the project, which has garnered support from the Simpcw First Nation and the Valemount Community Forest.
