Carbon removal procurement. In the 🇨🇦 2024 Budget released yesterday. Buried in a footnote, but actually a really big deal. Carbon removal can be procured under the $135M low carbon fuel procurement fund. Huge demand signal for #carbonremoval. Now the work starts. 🚀 #cdnpoli
Canada is advancing as a global leader in climate action! Including carbon removal in the Greening Government Strategy and Low-Carbon Fuel Procurement Program marks a historic shift. Here's our take on government procurement of carbon removal: bit.ly/3OIm4OQ #Cdnpoli

🌡️ We’re not avoiding climate overshoot. We’re living in it.
Our carbon removal expert says Canada can build the industry that helps contain it. 🍁
"Canada cannot afford to drop the baton at this key moment."

ALT Social media graphic promoting an opinion article about carbon removal. A yellow label at the top reads “Carbon Removal.” The main image shows smokestacks releasing large plumes of smoke against a dark blue and orange sky. Below, the headline reads: “Climate overshoot is here. Canada can build the industry that helps contain it.” The Canada’s National Observer logo appears on the image, and the byline reads: “By Jorden Dye | Opinion | October 9th 2026.”

How big could the global carbon removal market get? Most forecasts land in the hundreds of billions of dollars a year by 2050, with McKinsey's high end at US$1.2 trillion.
Canada has the clean power, storage, and know-how to compete. The forecasts: carbonremoval.ca/what-is-the…

Many in Canada assume US climate progress has stalled, which risks leading to complacency here. But US clean investment hit its second-biggest quarter on record. To win the investment, jobs, and exports of the next economy, Canada needs to keep building.

Monday evening, we hosted Investing in Carbon Removal alongside Mark Carney's Canada Investment Summit: investors, policymakers, and industry leaders on carbon removal's role in de-risking Canada's path to net zero.
Thank you, TD, Lawson Climate Institute, and CarbonRun.

Today, Mark Carney's Canada Investment Summit kicks off in Toronto, built to catalyze $1T in investment across Canada's critical sectors.
Tonight, we're hosting Investing in Carbon Removal alongside it: carbon removal de-risks the bets investors are about to make.

Even our supertalls are mediocre … @PinnacleINTL
Disgusting.
You had the privilege of building Canada's tallest tower. Now finish the job.
Take some pride in your work. Better yet, have some pride in your country. 🇨🇦
Canada's tallest skyscraper ever is officially dismantling its crane, but many are dissapointed with the final look of Pinnacle One Yonge's SkyTower. With exterior cladding now basically complete, what was supposed to be an elegant crown atop the supertall has been scraped. urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/08…

Carbon removal isn't standalone: it de-risks Canada's industrial ambitions.
That's the case behind our new Carbon Curve series. Ep. 1: agriculture & forestry. 🎧
Give it a listen: carboncurve.substack.com/p/c…
It’s truly an awesome website now
Our website has a new home. 🌱
A more interactive, more educational carbonremoval.ca: real-time data, clearer explainers, easier access to our research.
This week we're walking through what's new.
