    It will surprise no one that we believe philanthropy has to play a much bigger role in carbon removal. Like, right now. Thanks to MCJ Collective for giving our very own Adam Fraser the proverbial mic to go deep on this topic we really (really) care about.

    How much of global philanthropic giving do you think goes towards climate-related causes? 🤔 Answer: 2% In this week's newsletter, Adam Fraser, CEO of Terraset, highlights this critical yet overlooked fact. Even in the US, this figure improves to just 3%. Why does philanthropy matter to climate solutions? 💰 The CDR market remains underfunded despite its importance 📈 Philanthropic dollars can drive development and scaling of CDR projects 🌱 Investment is needed now for early-stage climate solutions to mature With a philanthropic market nearing $1 trillion, directing more funds towards climate initiatives is not just necessary— Adam argues it's imperative.

    Isometric today announced partnerships with 12 of the most important platforms in carbon removal. Patch, Watershed, Supercritical, Klimate.co, Carbonx Climate, Milkywire, Carbonplace, Wren, Rubicon Carbon, Cloverly and CEEZER have all partnered with Isometric to provide their end customers access to Isometric’s high quality carbon credits. Terraset is also providing a way for people to fund carbon removal through tax-deductible donations. These partners are already helping thousands of companies take action to reduce their carbon footprints and decarbonize. It’s critically important that those companies now begin to incorporate high quality carbon removal credits into their sustainability plans. By partnering with Isometric, these platforms can now offer buyers of all sizes the ability to secure credits certified against Isometric's scientifically rigorous protocols. In addition to the 12 platforms mentioned, other organizations are also leveraging key data from the Isometric Registry. Frontier, AlliedOffsets and CDR.fyi are all improving their offerings by integrating Isometric’s data. To support these partnerships, Isometric has launched an Application Programming Interface (API) for the distribution and management of its high quality carbon credits. Isometric’s Registry and MRV APIs allow users to seamlessly manage, transfer and retire credits in real-time. Broadening access to high-quality credits through integrations like these can expand the type and number of buyers in the market, which is critical to scaling the CDR industry.

    We just made our first carbon removal purchase from Canada via Planetary. 🇨🇦 So it felt fitting to have a guest post from Na'im Merchant—Terraset Carbon Council member and Executive Director of Carbon Removal Canada—on the Canadian CDR sector. We’ve had AMAZING support from donors and enthusiasts in Canada since our early days, so we’re excited about this, and we know it’s definitely just the beginning for our partnership with our neighbors up North!

    Isometric today became the first carbon registry to publish a protocol for durable carbon removal through Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE). The first project developer who has signed up to this protocol is Planetary. Shopify, MaRS Discovery District and Terraset are some of the first buyers of credits from Planetary that will be delivered against the Isometric OAE Protocol. The protocol details how OAE—which increases the ocean’s natural ability to draw down and store atmospheric carbon dioxide—can be measured, reported on, and verified (MRV) so that buyers can purchase OAE carbon credits with confidence. OAE has high scaling potential because it leverages the vast surface area of the ocean. The Isometric OAE Protocol requires measurements at the original project site as well as use of internationally recognized numerical ocean models to quantify drawdown of carbon into the ocean. The Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement Protocol is another step towards creating trust and transparency in carbon markets. This is what is required to help carbon removal scale to the level that the planet needs and is what Isometric was founded to do.

    🌍 We are thrilled to be prominently featured in The Washington Post, highlighting the groundbreaking initiative between Kenya and the US to develop a green manufacturing base in Kenya. 📈 This initiative aims to boost Kenya's renewable energy production, which is currently constrained by insufficient industrial demand, and attract US investments in Kenya’s green industrialization. 🚀 At Octavia Carbon, we believe that this collaboration will speed up the adoption of Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. By utilizing Kenya’s plentiful renewable energy resources, especially geothermal waste heat, we aim to encourage the sector's growth, which will, in turn, contribute to Kenya’s goals for green industrialization. 💡 Read the full article to discover how we are positioning Kenya as a pioneering force in green industrialization through carbon removal: https://lnkd.in/dVZVQFyN #DAC #Carbonremoval #RenewableEnergy #CleanTech

    It’s Wednesday, and it's time for a dose of Carbon #UnboundShowcase. We're talking with Adam Fraser, CEO of Terraset, a 501c3 #nonprofit catalysing permanent #carbonremoval through philanthropic capital. Discover how Terraset pools donations to support innovative CDR projects, why their approach doesn't issue credits or offsets, and the impactful co-benefits of their funded projects. Key Takeaways: 🔹 Terraset's mission is to bridge the gap between philanthropy and high-quality carbon removal projects, accelerating their growth and impact. 🔹 Focus on permanent solutions: Terraset prioritises projects with long-term carbon storage, like Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW). 🔹 Rigorous evaluation process: Terraset uses 7-point criteria to assess projects, ensuring additionality, verifiability, scalability, and positive social/environmental impact. 🔹 Emerging trends: Growing scientific innovation, improved MRV (measurement/reporting/verification) techniques, and increasing investment fuel optimism for CDR. 🔹 2024 challenges and solutions: Scaling CDR requires more capital, cost reduction strategies, and a shift in public perception to recognise it as essential for climate action. We value the community’s unique perspective on the #carbondioxideremoval space. If you have a different take, we'd love to hear from you. Email [email protected] or share your thoughts in the comments to be a part of a future #UnboundShowcase! 🌏 Unbound Summits connect innovators and accelerate climate action.

    Our friends at Speed & Scale just launched their 2024 Global Climate Tracker—a comprehensive view of global progress toward net zero emissions. Carbon removal is in 'code red' status (no surprise to us or anyone else in the space). More proof that immediate funding and scaling are necessary to catalyze CDR and a great resource for anyone curious to go deep on both progress and challenges ahead.
