💚 Why do we need carbon dioxide removal (#CDR)? 💚

It's actually pretty simple... ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

How can we use social media to scale CDR? 📱

💙 No surprises here: I am a huge believer in the use of digital communications and social media to advance the carbon removal sector. 1/8

💚 I’ve done many CDR podcasts over the years, but this might just be the most impactful.

I owe you all an apology.

My previous post about current developments in the U.S. Department of Energy added the wrong kind of fuel to the fire.

I stated that it was the end of CDR at DoE and that the CDR team at the DoE might be gone.

I was wrong. 1/4

👋 Goodbye CDR in the U.S. Department of Energy

🇺🇸 No government department in the world has done more for the growth of the carbon removal industry than the U.S. DoE. Unfortunately, that seems to have come to an abrupt and tragic end. 1/6

⚠️ What is happening at the US DoE? ⚠️

😡 Over the last few days, the US Department of Energy (DoE) has fallen victim to Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government of Efficiency (DOGE) and thousands of staff lost their jobs (as many as 12.5% of the DoE). 1/7

💚 It’s important – particularly in tough times – to zoom out and remember our *WHY* 💚

📽️ Check out my latest video for why I work in CDR.

⚓ What about you? What keeps you anchored to *YOUR WHY*?

🇪🇺 Should biochar carbon removal (#BCR) be integrated into the EU Emission Trading System (#EUETS)? 🇪🇺

🔥 This is one of the hottest CDR topics currently being debated in Brussels and beyond. And its impact goes way beyond BCR and the EU ETS. 1/8

💪 Let’s walk the talk and make CDR conferences more sustainable 💪

✈️ Over a year ago, I picked a bone with you all about flying around the world to attend climate conferences. The post got lots of people engaged and I was glad to see that there are organisations taking this seriously. 1/8

😣 Missed our CDR Triple Threat CDR Scoop earlier this week?

🔥 We’ve got good news for you. You can now listen to Eve Tamme, Robert Höglund, and myself get deep into the “like-for-like” principle (and hear me get ROASTED by Robert) on the latest episode of the CDR Policy Scoop.

📊 Only 1.3% of CDR roles are in policy. That’s a problem.

🧐 Policy is central to scaling CDR, yet policy roles remain critically underrepresented. Let's take a look.

💼 Out of 2,865 jobs recorded by CDRjobs, only 38 have been in policy, just 1.3% and a stark contrast to what is needed. 1/4
