Carbon removal procurement. In the 🇨🇦 2024 Budget released yesterday. Buried in a footnote, but actually a really big deal. Carbon removal can be procured under the $135M low carbon fuel procurement fund. Huge demand signal for #carbonremoval. Now the work starts. 🚀 #cdnpoli

Canada is advancing as a global leader in climate action! Including carbon removal in the Greening Government Strategy and Low-Carbon Fuel Procurement Program marks a historic shift. Here's our take on government procurement of carbon removal: https://t.co/UV2LIUu4Sp #Cdnpoli

It is planting season! 🌱 And #carbonremoval can be part of the future of farming. Here’s a cool example. ↓

Across Southern Ontario, farmers are applying crushed wollastonite as a soil amendment, replacing traditional inputs to boost crop yields and soil resilience.

🚀 We're hiring a Director for the Quebec Surficial Mineralization Hub in Thetford Mines.

Permitted land, 10,000 tonnes of serpentinite feedstock, shared equipment, established community ties. The barriers are cleared. We need someone to run it. 🧭

Ok, let’s talk about how #carbonremoval can turn an environmental liability into an environmental asset (and climate solution) through carbon mineralization.

Asbestos mine waste can be transformed into an asset.

[Na’im Merchant @naimmerchant]

This isn't too good to be true. We just launched the Quebec Surficial Mineralization Hub (learn more: https://t.co/JYPnOLQ4uF) with Frontier and DuGrisAuVert.

Next up on how #carbonremoval helps Canadian industry and workers: decarbonizing the pulp and paper industry.

Pulp and paper mills can now capture CO₂ from biomass combustion and store it permanently underground instead of releasing it.
