How do you set a high bar in carbon removal? For Cowboy Clean Fuels, it starts with being your own toughest critic. “We need to convince ourselves before we can convince anyone else.” More in Removed & Proved: www.absoluteclimate.com/blog-posts/a...

San Francisco Climate Week is a good moment to step back from the day-to-day and actually compare notes with others working in this space. Our CEO & Co-Founder, Peter Minor, will be speaking on two panels, one on carbon removal standards and another on powering AI with low-carbon infrastructure.

Today, Absolute Climate, Cowboy Clean Fuels, and Evident announced a partnership to bring a new class of carbon removal credits to market. As projects grow more complex, the industry needs clearer, more consistent ways to measure and verify impact.

Implementing a fit-for-purpose approach for managing reversal risks
By: Grant Faber Reversals and Reversal Risks Carbon markets depend on a simple promise: when carbon dioxide (CO2) is stored, it stays stored. But storage is never zero-risk.

An Overview of the Absolute Carbon Standard
000
Absolute Climate @absoluteclimate.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
ACS v2.1 clarifies several aspects of how the framework is applied as more projects, producers, and buyers begin using it in practice. As the field expands, these kinds of accounting rules will increasingly shape how mitigation markets operate.
100
Absolute Climate @absoluteclimate.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
The idea behind ACS is simple: create a consistent framework for measuring and certifying outcomes across both carbon removal and low-carbon products. Without common rules for measurement, durability, and claims, mitigation outcomes are difficult to compare across projects and technologies.
100
Absolute Climate @absoluteclimate.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
We’ve released ACS v2.1, the latest update to the Absolute Carbon Standard. As carbon mitigation markets grow, the rules behind mitigation claims are becoming just as important as the technologies themselves. ACS was designed to help define those rules.

The launch of the Advance Carbon Removal Coalition, with a $100M commitment + early participation from the Canadian Government, sends a strong signal that Canada is open for carbon removal business. It’s the kind of signal that could set the tone for other nations looking to lead in carbon removal.

Carbon removal is moving beyond early curiosity and into real investment. That was a clear takeaway from #CarbonRemovalDay in Ottawa last week, where we hosted “Setting the Standard,” a breakfast with leaders from industry and government on building national standards for CDR.

A Verified Pathway for Low-Carbon Products

Absolute Climate @absoluteclimate.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
Emissions are often not reduced because of market structure, not technical limits. Procurement. Geography. Financing. We’re expanding Absolute Climate’s certification framework to include Environmental Attribute Certificates for low-carbon products.

Absolute Climate @absoluteclimate.bsky.social · 08/01/2026
As a recent Heatmap piece shows, demand is real but still concentrated among a few early buyers. What unlocks broader participation is not hype or volume alone. It’s trust, built through clear standards, consistent measurement, and credible claims. That’s where the work needs to focus next.

Carbon markets only work if claims match atmospheric outcomes. In Impact Alpha, Absolute Climate co-founder and CEO Peter Minor explains why confusing emissions reductions with carbon removals undermines market credibility. “The difference between a reduction and a removal is not a technicality.”

As COP30 kicks off in Belém, carbon markets are under the spotlight. Too often, credits have replaced real emissions cuts instead of reinforcing them.

Carbon credits exposed: the billion-dollar scam built on ‘hope, not proof’
Carbon credits gave corporations a licence to pollute — scientists say it’s time to end the greenwashing and face the truth

Fixing the system requires more than tightening old rules. We need independent standards that measure true atmospheric impact and a market built on transparency, rigor, and integrity.

The report highlights a familiar problem across the voluntary carbon market: shaky baselines, inconsistent accounting, and incentives that reward approval over accuracy. When models cannot be verified, credibility starts to break down.

How carbon is removed is important, but how it’s tracked matters too. Measured removals use sensors & provide greater certainty. Modeled removals rely on estimates and struggle to catch reversals. Want higher confidence? Choose measured over modeled. What’s your quality check before buying?
