1/ Some exciting news! Today we're launching Cascade Climate, a non-profit accelerating progress for interventions that harness Earth's natural systems—including soils, oceans, and glaciers—to help stabilize our climate.

Join us next week on Thursday, November 14th, 2024, at 12:00PM ET for an information session and Q&A for our ERW Field Data Partnership Grants RFP process.

Enhanced weathering is a promising technology to permanently remove CO2 from the atmosphere, improve soil pH, agricultural yields, and reduce N2O emissions, but is challenging to verify.
After a year of work involving 50 scientist, we have a firm roadmap for verification: https://t.co/PzKydbmd2V
Quantifying carbon removal in ERW deployments is challenging, but we brought together more than 100 scientists and market practitioners to write a comprehensive guide to the state of the science + best practices. So excited to finally have this out in the world!
We're thrilled to announce the release of “Foundations for Carbon Dioxide Removal Quantification in Enhanced Rock Weathering Deployments.” This document helps ensure a common core of quantification rigor as the community pursues deployment-driven learning about ERW. Link below:
bought a last minute ticket to NYC for climate week with the sole purpose of meeting people and listening to their story.
looking for people who:
- work in climate
- want a portrait drawn over a 30 minute coffee
- are open to talking about what inspires awe, wonder, and joy in their life.
past projects: NYT, Inquirer, and Mehran's steakhouse
dm me!!!
After Frontier's $57M offtake with @LithosCarbon, @CascadeClimate published a blog post about how the next few years of ERW deployments can form the foundation for a healthy, virtuous market cycle, via robust standards for MRV and a data access system.
4/ And lastly, we're hiring! Currently looking for a Policy Lead, Program Director, Recruiting & Ops Manager, and a Grants Program Manager. Reach out if you or anyone you know is interested!

3/ Earlier this year I left school somewhat indefinitely to co-found Cascade, and I'm so excited about this vision and team. Cannot wait to share more in the coming weeks about the journey so far.
This tilted playing field risk is amplified by worries about open system quantification uncertainties. The next few posts in the series will be about how to design a broader verification and discounting system that takes these uncertainties seriously while still getting to scale!
Open system CDR pathways have more uncertainty than closed systems, but may reach gigatons far more quickly. @DaiEllis and I argue we must resist pressure to tilt purchase volume and policy support towards the seeming simplicity of closed systems.

There's a growing risk that the playing field of policy and philanthropic support, along with mainstream buyer appetite and broad prevailing narratives, may be tilting against open systems.
Last November we held a workshop in San Francisco to discuss monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) for permanent carbon dioxide removal technologies.
Today we published a letter signed by 35 organizations calling for a CDR Standards Initiative: https://t.co/WUvwZyAt9d
Excited to share my new post with reflections on the "who" question in carbon removal—the waves of actors who will need to meet the move-mountains challenge in front of us. Who's got next? Philanthropy and heavy industry. 1/2 https://t.co/HmW0rN4mRK
