To everyone that's tired of hearing from me, I sincerely apologize. But for those that want an incentive-aligned CDR industry that is correctly assessing atmospheric impacts, I'm going to be speaking at Carbon Unbound East Coast in May. See you there!

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.

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.

A slower year for carbon removal doesn’t mean the industry is stuck.

When emissions reductions and negative emissions are conflated, there are no winners. I wrote an op-ed with @impactalpha.com to explain why 👇

We just pushed a big update to our Absolute Climate Standard! We've doubled-down on the clarity and consistency thats needed for quality certifications. This revision brings us closer to our mission of ensuring that CDR project claims always match real atmospheric benefits.

🇨🇦 Carbon Unbound is returning to the West Coast in January, but this time in beautiful Vancouver! Carbon Unbound excels at bringing the right climate leaders and innovators together to discuss how to move CDR forward. Hope to see you there! 👉 Learn more here: invt.io/1lxb5hmn195

Always fun to talk to Benjamin @cleantechnica.bsky.social! He asks such specific and unexpected questions. My favorite: ❓What are the main unsolved questions in CDR? 💡Market imbalances due to poor accounting may inadvertently prevent us from achieving net zero cleantechnica.com/2025/07/30/a...

Absolute Climate Co-Founder Peter Minor Speaks Carbon Removal - CleanTechnica

You’re a Co-Founder of Absolute Climate. When was the first time you heard about carbon removal? My first real conversation on the topic was in 2014. I was a grad student at UC Berkeley when someone f...

Very excited to join this important effort!

When designed properly, standards are more than science. They ensure consistency and quality at scale. No one knows how to do this better than Rob Watson (@kilrwat.bsky.social), the founder of the LEED Green Building Standard. Today, he's joining the @absoluteclimate.bsky.social advisory board.

The Absolute Carbon Standard is now officially ready for DAC 😤 We've published DAC + storage modules for public consultation. We'd love feedback on any areas where it needs to be improved.

Another fantastic post by Na'im Merchant and @carbonremovers.bsky.social My favorite line: "Canada offers something increasingly hard to find: a stable, supportive policy environment for carbon removal innovation” carboncurve.substack.com/p/canada-a-s...

If you know Adam, you know he’s not just one of the most technically capable people in CDR, but he also brings his personal integrity into the work he does. He deeply believes that it’s possible to build scalable MRV without compromising on the climate benefits delivered by CDR. Welcome Adam!

Peter Minor @peterminor.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

Ensuring that accountable standards underpin the CDR industry requires more than science. Policymaking is critical. For this reason, I feel beyond lucky to share that @erinmburns.bsky.social and Giana Amador are joining as inaugural members of the @absoluteclimate.bsky.social advisory board! 🥳

This is what I'm talking about! CDR has a massive political role to play on ensuring equitable trade between industrial economies. @weremovecarbon.bsky.social continues to show that they have a strong vision for the future of CDR policy in the US. www.carbonremovalalliance.org/policy-work/...

There's been a lot of talk about tariffs lately, but one tariff deserves our attention: a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. It includes carbon removal.

Peter Minor @peterminor.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

Building a scalable and accountable carbon removal industry requires early demand. Learnings from real deployments are the best way to drive down MRV uncertainty and develop new innovations. That's why I'm excited to join the CDR Demand session at Carbon Unbound East Coast, May 20-21 in NYC.

Peter Minor @peterminor.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

This is a big one for us! We’re partnering with Vesta to apply the Absolute Carbon Standard to marine CDR for the first time. mCDR is often treated as a 2nd class citizen, because of the challenge of connecting project claims to atmospheric impacts. We want to fix this.

Peter Minor @peterminor.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

Really appreciate this opinion piece by Freya, Zeke, and Kata. I totally agree. “What is CDR” is the wrong question. The real question is: Does a project deliver the right climate impact? 👇

I’m excited to be joining the Carbon Removal Alliance Science Advisory Board, because no one does this better than Giana and team. We’re going to keep pushing towards a future with gigatons of accountable carbon removal that deliver on climate promises. Thank you to CRA!

By default, carbon removal standards are inherently a race to the bottom. Projects want methodologies that are as economical as possible, and registries are willing to provide them to win business. Absolute Climate is introducing Mitigation Classes to break this pattern:

Thank you @emilypont.bsky.social for sharing a nuanced view into the challenges and opportunities around building standards designed to better assess the climate impact of carbon removal projects. It's an impressively clear dive into the world of standards and MRV

Peter Minor @peterminor.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Whether CDR remains high-quality long term has more to do with incentives than science. When registries define quality for themselves, competition for projects inevitably leads to a race to the bottom. Working with Evident Global, we think there's a better path forward ⬇️
