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.

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

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.

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.
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.
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.

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
In a few days MEPs face a historic choice. Here’s why I’m joining the many voices calling on European lawmakers to pass the #NatureRestorationLaw and work together for a just transition with farmers, fishers and foresters at the heart of these reforms euractiv.com/section/energy-…

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.

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

Today, our policy manager @markprstn is speaking at the “Capture, Storage & Use of Carbon in Energy Recovery Plants" conference organised by @lipor_pt & @valorsul, exploring the potential climate impacts of #CCS and CCU in the context of #wasteincineration.

📢 #PressRelease: MEP @lidiafopereira 's draft report on the #CRCF shows some improvements. However, there are still concerns re: using removal certificates to offset emissions & a lack of differentiation between #carbonremoval activities 👇

“In 2021, 97% of the [EU’s] urban population was exposed to concentrations of fine particulate matter above the health-based guideline level set by the World Health Organization.”
Burning stuff tends to do that, maybe let’s burn less stuff.

The Russian Govt has labeled The Bellona Foundation as an 'undesirable organisation,' which means that any Russian citizen working with us is now deemed criminal. We support our colleagues at @Bellona_etc, & their efforts to expose environmental violations
