    Introducing... Grounded: A Climate Startup Journey

    While you’re waiting for more episodes of The Carbon Removal Show, we wanted to introduce you to another project that our very own Tom Previte has been busy on… Grounded: A Climate Startup Journey This is the story of a startup that wants to remove carbon from the atmosphere and help reshape our relationship with the planet. Ideally without burning to the ground in the process. It was a good few years back when Tom stumbled across biochar. That was during the first season of The Carbon Removal Show. And it turns out that this biochar stuff… it's not just an ancient technology but also a cutting-edge solution for today’s climate problems.  Grounded: A Climate Startup Journey captures the highs and lows of a green startup - from sharp learning curves to unlikely breakthroughs. Listen in as Tom digs deep into the realities and complexities of setting up a carbon removal project, and gets to grips with the science, the money, and everything it takes to build an environmentally (and financially) sustainable business. Because if we’re going to save the planet, we’re going to need a lot more businesses like this one.

    S3 #5 | How can companies contribute to industry scale?: Gigaton thinking - with MASH Makes

    What happens when an individual company bakes industry scale up into their business philosophy? In this episode, Jakob Andersen shares the “gigaton thinking” mindset that drives his company, MASH Makes, in their approach to business and biochar. MASH Makes started as a project at the Technological University of Denmark focusing on technology that could convert various waste streams (mainly residue biomass) into different energy products. In short, MASH Makes use automated machines that are able to produce bio oil, hydrogen and electricity from agricultural waste, with the main byproduct of this process being biochar – a soil amendment that actively absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere. Big thanks to MASH Makes for supporting this episode. To learn more about The Carbon Removal Show, including further reading and all our sources, head to thecarbonremovalshow.com.

    S3 #2 | Analogies for scale: what other technologies can teach us about carbon removal

    Season 3 continues and the team remains focused on scaling up. The question today: has it been done before? The task ahead is huge and can sometimes feel insurmountable. In order to deliver what scientists say is needed, the carbon removal industry must go from the young seedling emerging market we know today to a great complex ecosystem - and time is against us. Has this level of growth ever been seen before? In today’s episode, Tom and Emily go hunting for reassuring precedents and inspirational analogies. Every global industry that we now take for granted was once a young seedling too. How do those industries compare to CDR? What can we learn from their development? And will looking at their histories help us feel more prepared for the future? In this episode, we listen back to brief clips from Sophie Purdom, co-founder of CTVC, and Dr Steve Smith, executive director of CO2RE. We first heard from them in season 1 episode 1 and season 2 episode 2 respectively.

    S3 #1 | Getting serious about scale

    We are back! Did you miss us? Kicking off Season 3, Tom and Emily are exploring what it will take to grow the carbon removal industry to the scale we need. They speak to various actors in the carbon removal space, from project developers and policy experts to marketplaces and buyers. Their curiosity for the scaling problem took the team on a trip to Basel, Switzerland for a CDR conference hosted by Carbonfuture: Carbon Removal Basel. The team uses this episode to highlight some key themes around trust and scaling up that will be explored throughout the season. A huge thanks to our guests Jan Minx, Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change, MCC and co-author of The State of Carbon Dioxide Removal report Hannes Junginger, CEO and co-founder at Carbonfuture Ben Brandt, CPO and co-founder at Ledgy Adam Sipthorpe, Senior Portfolio Manager - CDRs at South Pole Paolo Piffaretti, CEO and co-founder at Carbonx Sebastian Manhart, Senior Policy Advisor at Carbonfuture Our guests for this episode were recorded in April 2023. Their input reflects the individuals' and organisations’ views at that time.

    S2 #10 | Ocean-based carbon removal part 2: What's happening along our coastlines?

    The world’s coastal areas are some of the most at risk places on earth when it comes to climate change, but could they potentially be some of the most valuable places for creating solutions too? It’s time for part two in our mini-series on Oceans and... it's the Season two finale! As we established in last week’s episode, oceans are now becoming a much bigger part of the climate conversation and are a huge site of interest for carbon removal innovation. In this episode Tom and Emily will be taking a deeper look at some of the most exciting coastal-based solutions that are popping up.  They’ll be putting another biomass-based solution into focus – mangroves; they’ll be discussing The Blue Carbon Challenge, a program launched by Friends of Ocean Action to find viable solutions in blue carbon; and they’ll be looking at an interesting ocean-based take on rock weathering - an entirely different context to what we’ve looked at in previous episodes! A note from our fact-checking corner: midway through this episode we discuss the relative rates of carbon sequestration of mangrove forests vs. the tropical forests you may be more familiar with. For the sake of clarity, we wanted to say here that mangroves store more carbon per year than the forests we mention on a per hectare basis. Forests still come out on top in absolute terms – not to take anything away from the magnificent role of mangroves A huge thanks to our guests:   Ronald Tardiff, Pillar Lead at Friends of Ocean Action Kelly Erhart, President & Co-Founder at Vesta To learn more about The Carbon Removal Show, including further reading and all our sources, head to restored.cc.
