At Carbon Removal Canada, we believe the future is still worth investing in 🌍 — and that we're not helpless against climate change. In the words of our co-founder and executive director, Na'im Merchant, "I think of carbon removal as an antidote to that helplessness." 🎥 Watch our new video to learn more about how we are helping Canada take action and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (in addition to cutting emissions).

🌊 Nova Scotia's rivers are about to get a much-needed boost! Halifax-based CarbonRun is set to launch the world's first river alkalinity enhancement project in Pictou County. This innovative initiative aims to restore salmon rivers by adding alkaline to the water — which reduces acidity and allows the rivers to remove more carbon from the atmosphere. 🌱🌎 As we work together towards a clean energy future, it is encouraging to see increased investment in carbon removal and initiatives like this one that mitigate climate change and restore ecosystems.

🎉 Exciting news from Alberta! Deep Sky has selected Innisfail for the world's first carbon removal innovation and commercialization centre, Deep Sky Labs. This groundbreaking site, located an hour north of Calgary, will be operational by March and capture up to 30,000 tonnes of CO2 over the next decade. Deep Sky Labs will test and optimize multiple Direct Air Capture technologies, accelerating the path to scalable and energy-efficient carbon removal. This project represents a milestone for Alberta as an emerging clean energy hub. It will generate high-demand green jobs and inject over $110 million into the Innisfail community over the next ten years. 🌍 Read more: tgam.ca/4cxkCbn #CarbonRemovalCanada #CarbonRemoval

I’ve had the benefit of following Anu Khan’s work untangling the mystery that is #carbonremoval MRV and standards for a while now - and I’m thrilled to see that work will be advanced through the launch of Carbon Removal Standards Initiative! I’m also grateful to be part of the advisory board to support this journey in any small way I can. At Carbon Removal Canada we see the lack of standards as a key barrier to rapidly and responsibly scaling carbon removal solutions in Canada. Knowing that there’s a deconflicted body that can provide capacity and expertise to help overcome this barrier is a huge relief. Finally, kudos to Carbon180 for supporting such a critical venture to strengthen the carbon removal ecosystem.
Today, I’m so excited to publicly announce the Carbon Removal Standards Initiative. 🎉 https://lnkd.in/eHK3HHDK As many of you know, I’ve been squirreled away, thinking about CDR MRV and standards for a while now, occasionally haunting CDR industry events to ask anyone and everyone, - What are standards? - Where do they come from? - How do we make sure the CDR industry has rigorous rules that lead to real climate impact? The answer turned out to be kind of simple: carbon removal is a public good, and carbon removal standards will largely be set by policy and regulation. But operationalizing this simple answer is going to be complicated. And it will take time. Civil society will have to play a role in making sure that policymakers and regulators – across jurisdictions, CDR pathways, and policy mechanisms – have access to financially unconflicted info on CDR quantification. That’s where CRSI comes in. Our mission is to provide technical assistance and capacity building for carbon removal policy, focused specifically on quantification standards. We are a philanthropically funded nonprofit project with no financial stake in the sale of credits or the growth of the carbon market. We care about quantification because we believe that CDR is fundamentally a tool for climate justice. Justice requires accountability and justice in carbon removal requires rigorously counting the carbon. Interested in working this us? Reach out! PS. HUGE thank you to Carbon180 for supporting this work through the Entrepreneur in Residence Program. Erin Burns has been an incredible thought-partner since the earliest days. I’m so, so grateful for all the support I’ve received over the last year.

The idea of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is an emerging part of combating climate change, and the newness of the approach requires great feats of innovation — so it's no surprise that people have questions. For a balanced understanding of carbon removal, we recommend this long read from Undark Magazine. Fighting climate change will require great creativity from humanity, and at Carbon Removal Canada, we support the work. bit.ly/4fH3UsT #CarbonRemovalCanada #CarbonRemoval
