📈 Corporations are increasingly incorporating carbon dioxide removal (CDR) into their climate strategies—alongside deep emissions reductions. South Pole, a Cornerstone Member of the Carbon Business Council, helps companies develop and invest in climate strategies, and they recently welcomed Mizuho as the newest buyer in the NextGen CDR portfolio — a joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation, working to accelerate carbon removal by pooling corporate demand through long-term purchase agreements. Mizuho’s participation marks a significant step forward for financial sector engagement in carbon removal and highlights growing momentum in the Asia-Pacific region. 📝 In our latest post, we speak with Megan Kemp, South Pole’s Global Head of Strategy, about the current state of the CDR market, trends driving demand, and the role of collaboration in unlocking gigaton-scale impact. 📖 Read the full post: https://lnkd.in/gnGpiEaA #CarbonRemoval #NetZero #collaboration #leadership #CorporateClimateAction

🎉 Congratulations to Carbon Business Council coalition member CO280 on signing a landmark agreement with Microsoft to deliver 3.69 million tonnes of durable carbon removal over 12 years. By leveraging existing pulp and paper mill infrastructure and biomass supply chains, this agreement helps reduce project complexity, cost, and risk, while signaling growing corporate demand for high-integrity, permanent CDR. 📄 Full release: https://lnkd.in/gWYZi7ZJ #CarbonRemoval #NetZero #CDR

🇬🇧The UK government has launched an Independent Review of Greenhouse Gas Removals (#GGRs) to inform policy, compare costs with global benchmarks, and explore opportunities for scaling removal activities in the U.K. The review signals continued growth in the sector and reinforces the role of CDR as a necessary complement to emissions reductions and a critical tool in the UK’s net zero strategy. It also provides a timely opportunity to highlight UK leadership, clarify regulatory pathways, and support public sector adoption. The Carbon Business Council welcomes the launch of this review and its potential to advance high-integrity carbon removal. 📄 Read the full terms of reference: https://lnkd.in/gnKtZDpu #CarbonRemoval #NetZero #ClimatePolicy #UKClimateAction #GHGRemoval

🌍 In the race to tackle climate change, innovators are turning to an unexpected ally: 🪨 rock. The latest video in the XPRIZE Carbon Removal docuseries explores enhanced rock weathering (ERW), an emerging carbon removal method that uses byproducts from quarries, mining, and the built environment to reduce CO₂ in the atmosphere, while improving soil health and boosting local economies. ERW accelerates a natural process where minerals capture and store carbon dioxide from the air. By integrating this technique into farms, forests, and managed land areas, ERW offers a dual benefit: long-term carbon storage and enhanced land productivity. 📣 We're proud to see Carbon Business Council members leading the charge: 🇺🇸 Lithos Carbon – Repurposing mine waste to improve soil and help remove carbon on U.S. farms 🇮🇳 Mati Carbon – Partnering with smallholder farmers to apply quarry fines for durable CDR 🇬🇧 UNDO – Scaling ERW in collaboration with farmers and the quarry industry 🇨🇦 Arca – Using autonomous rovers to help accelerate carbon mineralization at mine sites These innovators are proving that carbon removal can support industries like agriculture and construction, driving economic growth while helping meet climate goals. 🌱 🎥 Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/gmwqFhZC #CarbonRemoval #EnhancedWeathering #XPRIZECarbonRemoval #NetZero
