This graph makes it so much harder to be an optimist

[Felix Schenuit @FelixSchenuit]

Politics are dominating discussions these days, but we shouldn't lose sight of key policy issues. One of them: how to integrate CDR into EU climate policy. In this @Euractiv piece, @markprstn and I argue for a broader debate - beyond an ETS integration.

Our Senior Policy Manager @markprstn joined
@CarbonGap 's Transatlantic Dialogue on carbon removal in the EU and US, highlighting #CDR's evolving policy landscape across EU Member States.🎙

RT @EveTamme: Join us on Wed 17 January at 16:30 CET for a transatlantic dialogue on #CDR policy, organised by @CarbonGap.

Looking forwar…

[Mark Preston @markprstn]

We need finance to help preserve forests. But carbon credits ain’t it…

[Josh Gabbatiss @Josh_Gabbatiss]

Strange to find Tony Blair speaking on an illustrious panel including the president of Guyana

He was there to voice his support for selling carbon credits from Guyana's forests.

The country has signed a $750m deal with oil firm Hess Corporation so it can offset its emissions.

Out now: “Governing permanence of CDR: a typology of policy measures”Our new @CO2REhub policy report, led by Josh Burke.

Governing permanence must be at the heart of CDR policy, laying the groundwork for market integration & future Art. 6 negotiations

[Jack Andreasen Cavanaugh @AndreasenJack]

We should protect forests and plant trees. We should pay people to do it.

I'm just not sure carbon markets are the right place for it.

@FelixSchenuit @EveTamme @EP_Environment Or the 'CRCFCSPCF' (carbon removals, carbon farming and carbon storage in products certification framework)

[Jack Andreasen Cavanaugh @AndreasenJack]

So, as I read it, almost everything is in, with a huge caveat. Any technology must demonstrate they are consistent w/ geologic storage or equivalent.

Meaning permanence of hundreds to thousands of years. Smart move by DOE, focusing on standards, not tech exclusionary.

[Mark Preston @markprstn]

Absolute privilege to share a panel with @hollyjeanbuck @Oliver_Geden @stv_smth & Ottmar Edenhofer, all giants in carbon dioxide removal and climate more generally.

Thanks to @JPIClimate for organising today’s workshop and showcasing the state of ongoing CDR research in Europe.

[Bellona Europa @Bellona_EU]

Today, our Carbon Accounting Policy Manager, @markprstn, attended a Carbon Dioxide Removal workshop by @JPIClimate
Mark emphasised the need to clarify CDR’s role in achieving EU #climategoals. Collaboration & science are crucial for responsible CDR development.

@James_BG @steviedubyu @adidas Marketing products as ‘carbon negative’ though, that’s not acceptable.

[Sirpa Pietikäinen🇫🇮🇪🇺 @spietikainen]

Listen the business leaders. Listen the scientists. Listen the aware people. Listen the young who will have to live in this planet in the future. Listen your commonsense, consiense, responsibility and heart. Vote for #naturerestorationlaw my dear colleges

Excited to finally share the #CCSLadder– joint @E3G @Bellona_DE work, with @GeorgKobiela and others

Drawing on colleagues' long-standing thinking, it aims to inform how public policy (⏲️💰🏗️) can prioritise what we call ‘high climate-value’ CCS applications.

A thread: 1/11

[Mark Preston @markprstn]

@GeorgKobiela And you should be! It's an excellent piece, well done 👏

@FelixSchenuit @StefanAykut Well done! 👏

[Jason Hochman @jasonclimateguy]

At @NEP_Brussels #CDRSummit @markprstn of @Bellona_EU and @EliMLarson of @CarbonGap explain CDR is "unavoidable" and necessary to:
- Accelerate climate action
- Balance out residual CO2 emissions
- Reduce global CO2 concentrations
