How can #carbonremoval 'Cross the Chasm'? Read on in Part 2 of 2 Substack posts I wrote on this topic, adapting tactics from Geoffrey Moore's excellent 'Crossing the Chasm' book to CDR. = climagination.substack.com/p/how-cdr-ca...

My latest Substack: 'CDR at The Chasm', Part 1 of 2. ➡️ The idea: Applying Geoffrey Moore’s “Chasm” model, #Carbonremoval needs to transition from early customers who want visionary new products to mainstream customers desiring pragmatic, whole solutions. climagination.substack.com/p/cdr-at-the...

CDR at 'The Chasm' - Part 1 of 2

Carbon removal is at a ‘chasm’ point between early customers who are interested in visionary new products and a more mainstream market who desire pragmatic, whole solutions.

How can durable #carbonremoval stakeholders get off the island and integrated into the broader voluntary carbon market? See my latest substack for my personal take - plus a summary of LOTS of year-end VCM data from a variety of sources! Link here: climagination.substack.com/p/getting-du...

Thanks for sharing! Interesting chart they chose from Frontier dated April 2024; I would suggest @cdrfyi.bsky.social's 2024 Q3 update for a more comprehensive, current look: www.cdr.fyi/blog/2024-q3...

I think that type of market environment could develop for CDR, but that's far from the actual state of the market in Q4 2024

Jason Grillo @jasongrillo.bsky.social · 23/12/2024

Agree with this 100% - 'gold rush' implies that there is a solid market with customers lining up in droves for a commoditized, highly valuable product.

Jason Grillo @jasongrillo.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

I agree with that statement as well as a co-founder of a community of 3,000 CDR innovators worldwide and started an accelerator program dedicated to carbon removal

The first serious CO2 ship is complete. This is important for Europe, which has good offshore CO2 storage but limited options onshore. Norway is opening the first facility, to be supplied by ships like this. Note the sail in the photo. interestingengineering.com/transportati...

In reality your best bet is probably 1) more mitigation and 2) a diverse portfolio of durable CDR, as Fuhrman et al note here: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Depends on whether a company can monetize the co-benefits to reduce the removal credit price

Jason Grillo @jasongrillo.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

My personal take is "both and": we need emissions reductions AND carbon removal per chart from @ipcc.bsky.social (Source: IPCC (2022) Cross-Chapter Box 8, Figure 2)

Jason Grillo @jasongrillo.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

Ahhh got it - appreciate the clarification. From my POV working with CDR startups, I'd be very hard-pressed to find anyone who believes that removal should happen instead of emission reduction.

110

Jason Grillo @jasongrillo.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

For the record, I totally agree that CDR is *NOT* a substitute for emissions reductions

111

Jason Grillo @jasongrillo.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

@jgkoomey.bsky.social curious: who do you see treating carbon removal as a substitute for emissions reductions? Asking as I run a global carbon removal community to foster innovation in the sector.

Personally I’m becoming a fan of insetting into a supply chain: improve bottom line in some way while removing CO2

Jason Grillo @jasongrillo.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

That said, I can't speak to how measurable or verifiable this particular producer's credit would be - that's up to a certifying body. However, there are quite a few digital MRV startups focusing on artisanal biochar production, esp in the Global South (sorry for the 'artisanal' misspell above)

Jason Grillo @jasongrillo.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

also noting that the industrial method of biochar production is a bit different per here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOod...

Noting the politics in South Dakota is interesting as well: a ballot referendum failed last Tuesday, which would have overrode local restrictions to CO2 pipeline construction permitting, specifically because of landowner misgivings about their property rights: www.argusleader.com/story/news/p...

argusleader.com

South Dakota voters reject law allowing pipeline companies to override local restrictions

South Dakota voters rejected a measure that would have made it easier for carbon pipeline developers to construct their pipeline in the state.
