In this podcast, Niels Schneider explores the missing pieces that are needed to make the supply chain around captured CO2 work in bringing the captured CO2 to the utilisation and storage sites. Niels interviews a series of founders from direct air capture, CO2 logistics companies and storage providers to hear about their challenges on a firm level. Finally Niels talks to an accelerator and a project developer to get a macro view of the captured CO2 environment.

Episode 8: Making it scale with Deep Sky
In this episode I am joined by Phil de Luna, Chief Carbon Scientist at Deep Sky. Phil is giving us an overview about what it means to be a project developer in carbon dioxide removal.
Listen to this episode for his insights on:
- What a project developer does in DAC
- How they plan to make large scale DAC plants bankable
- Why utilisation won't get us to scale
- What determines site selection for large scale DAC projects
The host is me: Niels Schneider

Episode 7: Zooming out with remove
In this episode I am joined by Marian Krüger, co-founder and managing director at remove, and we're taking a marco level look at carbon removal.
Amongst other things Marian will explain:
- Why utilisation use cases demand a green premium
- Why we need to buy all these small quantities of CRD right now
- How logistics works for big emitters but not DAC
- Why negative emissions shouldn't be part of the current ETS
Marian will also give a brief preview into the preliminary findings of an LCA on shipping captured CO2, done by the ETH.

Episode 6: CO2 Utilisation with Paebbl
In this episode I am interviewing Andreas Saari, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Paebbl.
Together we will be taking a closer look at:
- What it takes to turn CO2 into useful products
- Where the company gets their CO2 from
- How we account for the CO2 footprint of byproducts...
-... and how that could change soon

Episode 5: CO2 Storage with CO2Lock Corp.
In this episode I am joined by Cooper Quinn, the former CEO of CO2Lock Corp, to explore the storage stage of the CO2 supply chain.
We'll be discussing things such as:
Different sources and forms of CO2 that can be stored
Again policy and regulation, in particular around permitting of storage sites
The parallels between CO2 storage, mining and oil & gas exploration
And why the last point means we need more talent to move from oil & gas into Climate Tech

Episode 4: CO2 Logistics with ECOLOG
In this episode I am joined by Jasper Heikens, Chief Commercial Officer at ECOLOG, for more insights into transporting CO2.
Together we will be exploring:
Why the purity of CO2 matters so much when you ship it.
What drives the cost around CCS and in which situations might DAC actually be cheaper.
How many different steps and players are involved in getting CO2 from point A to point B...
...and why current regulation is not setup to deal with this complexity.
