Carbon Removal India Alliance (CRIA)

Scaling carbon removal in emerging markets is essential not only for ensuring equitable deployment of climate finance where it's most needed but also for maximizing impact. Emerging markets hold the greatest potential for achieving gigatonne-scale carbon removal while delivering needed co-benefits. I look forward to discussing related opportunities and challenges with Jakob Bejbro Andersen of MASH Makes, Tom Mills of Carbon Removal India Alliance (CRIA) and Marian Krueger remove at #CDRCopenhagen next week. CDR Copenhagen brings together global CDR leaders for a day of networking, knowledge-sharing, and in-depth discussions on strategies that are driving the green transition. Want to join us?

Exciting developments at Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) Rourkela Steel Plant! The mill has begun using #biochar in its blast furnace, marking a significant step toward greener steel production. By replacing a portion of traditional PCI coal with biochar, SAIL is reducing its carbon footprint and contributing to more sustainable practices in the industry. This innovation underscores the potential of biochar as a viable alternative in steelmaking, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change. #Sustainability #CarbonRemoval #CDR #ClimateAction #GreenTech

A new Carbon Removal Standards Initiative (CRSI) has been launched to create rigorous standards for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) efforts. Led by Anu Khan, CRSI focuses on positioning carbon removal as a public good, driven by policy, and integrated with other industries. The initiative aims to provide technical assistance and collaborate with industry, NGOs, and academia to ensure transparency and accountability in carbon removal practices, contributing to climate justice. #CarbonRemoval #ClimateAction #Sustainability #ClimateChange #EnvironmentalStandards #CDR

🌍 Harnessing the Power of Enhanced Rock Weathering: Opportunities and Challenges 🌍   We’re excited to share key insights from Carbon Direct’s latest report on Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) as a promising pathway for carbon dioxide removal (CDR). The potential of ERW lies in its ability to leverage natural geochemical processes for carbon sequestration, offering numerous co-benefits. India's unique combination of favourable climate conditions characterized by heat and humidity, geological resources (with one of the world’s largest volcanic provinces - the Deccan Traps), and a wealth of technical expertise positions it as a global leader in the deployment of ERW. The path forward for ERW is filled with potential but requires careful, responsible scaling to maximize benefits while minimizing risks. Here are the key takeaways: Key Findings: 1. Carbon Sequestration Potential: ERW can deliver large volumes of durable, cost-effective carbon removals, contributing significantly to climate mitigation efforts. 2. Agricultural Benefits: Besides carbon capture, ERW enhances crop yields and reduces the need for agricultural amendments, making it a win-win for both the environment and agriculture. 3. Market Insights: Current market analysis indicates that buyer involvement is crucial for scaling ERW projects and advancing scientific understanding. Opportunities: - Investment and Scaling: There's a need for strong buyer signals to drive investment and market development, enhancing the overall effectiveness and scalability of ERW projects. - Research and Development: Continued research is essential to refine carbon accounting methods and address uncertainties related to ERW's impact. Challenges: - Risks and Uncertainties: Key risks include potential environmental and human health impacts from mineral feedstocks, such as heavy metals, and the challenge of accurately quantifying carbon removal. - Regulatory and Monitoring Needs: Implementing stringent protocols for measurement, monitoring, reporting, and verification is critical to ensure the reliability and safety of ERW projects. Final Recommendations: - Conservative Approaches: Buyers should make informed decisions, considering risk mitigation strategies and remaining uncertainties. - Support for Best Practices: Encourage the adoption of best practices and rigorous environmental monitoring to address potential risks effectively. CRIA founding member, Mati Carbon, is spearheading the development of this remarkable opportunity in India. #ClimateAction #CarbonSequestration #ERW #CarbonRemoval #CDR #Agriculture --- For a detailed read, check out the full report: https://lnkd.in/gXG3CkaC
