🔍 Carbon removal 101: VCM, or the voluntary carbon market 🔍 The voluntary carbon market is where private companies can buy (and sell) carbon credits to compensate greenhouse gas emissions technically by their own choice. 🌏 ⏩ VCMs differ from compliance markets which set an absolute limit of carbon emissions that can be emitted by a certain market or industry or even a limit to compensate for those emissions. ⏩  What does this actually mean? While companies or private actors may not be required by law to purchase credits, that doesn’t mean there aren’t a number of mechanisms that push them to make this choice. It’s not just the right thing to do to help fight climate change, but also a smart thing. So why do companies engage in the VCM, and how do they participate effectively?

We just wrapped up an insightful morning discussing how to execute a strategy using carbon credits and avoid greenwashing! There are a few things to consider before getting started on your strategy, and our CIO Simon Bager, PhD took the stage to dive into these standards and best practices, plus sharing why smart companies engage with carbon removal in the first place. A special thanks to Dansk Erhverv, Klimaskovfonden, Kontrapunkt and Copenhagen Airports A/S for your contributions! Check out a few photos from this morning’s breakfast below! 🥐 ☕ #sustainability #corporatesustainability #climatechange #carboncredits #climateaction

Our carbon removal supply partners at InPlanet have released an exciting new paper that answers: Why Brazil? The unique conditions make this location an especially interesting and impactful location for enhanced weathering due to two main factors that significantly accelerate carbon dioxide removal through rock weathering: rain and heat. 📈 These conditions in Brazil could speed up weathering in this locale up to 10x more compared to averages across the US or Europe! 📈 Not to mention, Brazil currently has large areas of agricultural land, high availability of materials, and strong potential co-benefits to local communities. 🚜 We’re so glad to provide their credits in high-quality portfolios and keep your eyes peeled for what comes next from the great team at InPlanet. 👀 Read the full article down below!

On the path to net zero, carbon accounting is a critical first step for companies aiming to reduce their environmental impact. By quantifying emissions across operations and supply chains, businesses can identify opportunities to cut carbon dioxide setting the stage for more sustainable practices. This also opens the door to understand how much and when to remove carbon dioxide and create a wholistic strategy. Dive deeper into how carbon accounting works and why it's essential for any sustainability strategy in our latest insight: https://lnkd.in/dxbqrZJ3 #carbonaccounting #lca #carbonremoval #co2removal #carbondioxideremoval

Meet the latest method in our video series: Blue Carbon. Ocean blue carbon is a catch-all term for the carbon stored in coastal or ocean ecosystems, in places like mangroves, seagrass meadows, or tidal marshes. Despite only covering <2% of total ocean area, they account for almost 50% of the carbon sequestered in ocean sediments. When sustainably implemented, blue carbon provides a number of ecosystem services, provide vital functions, and support livelihoods of local communities.

We are excited to announce a 1000 tonne purchase agreement with a new carbon removal supplier, Andes. Andes is a microbial carbon mineralisation project, or MCM for short, working alongside farmers in the Midwestern United States. They apply microorganisms alongside crop seeds to accelerate the natural mineralization of atmospheric CO₂ in soil. These microbes grow with the crop roots resulting in stable minerals that durably and securely store carbon in the soil. Shared from Lauren Brown, Head of Carbon Removal at Klimate: "We are very excited to be working with Andes as a new partner and new CDR method for Klimate. Andes employ a robust Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) approach and we are glad to offer this high integrity method while scaling durable solutions." Said best by Gonzalo Fuenzalida-Meriz, CEO and Co-founder of Andes: "We are grateful to have the support of Klimate, a partner who believes strongly in Andes work and shares our vision of microbes' immense potential for carbon removal. They have conducted extensive due diligence on our solution and we are excited to work with them well into the future as a piece of the puzzle to grow carbon removal to gigatonne scale.” We look forward to collaborating with this novel technology as we share in the mission to accelerate efficient, scalable, carbon removal solutions! 🌍 🔗 Read more about Andes on Klimate's website here: https://lnkd.in/db7XCS5Z #carbonremoval #carbonremovalmethods #cdr #carbonmineralisation

As companies aim for net-zero emissions, monitoring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions is crucial. But where do you start? The journey begins with GHG accounting, a process of measuring and monitoring emissions to identify reduction opportunities. A big part of this is carbon accounting (or carbon footprint analysis), which is the first step towards implementing emission reductions in a company’s value chain. Once this step is underway, residual emissions can be compensated for by purchasing verified carbon removal credits. 🖇 Discover more in our latest insight: https://lnkd.in/djq-f--c #carbonemissions #netzero #greenhousegasemissions #ghgaccounting #ghgprotocol
