Carbonsate

Highlights from our incredible first week at SpinLab - The HHL Accelerator! We started by getting to know the other startups of class #17, expanding our network, and sharing inspiring conversations about solutions to the most pressing problems of our times. Building these connections is truly invaluable on our startup journey. certflow, coobi, Upgreen, OnkoPass, windfire, NIMBLE Diagnostics, JustHealth, clever bioTechnologies, The Academy for Climate Jobs We've been deeply engaged in discussions about the "Path to the Rainbow," a concept that helps us focus on the essential activities and KPIs for our current phase. This guidance is already proving to be a game-changer. As we get ready for Mentors Day today, we are excited to meet and learn from SpinLab's incredible network of mentors. Their insights and support will be pivotal as we scale biomass storage for carbon removal. Excited for what's ahead! 🚀✨ #carbonremoval #startups #mentoring

🌱 Unlocking the Secrets of Decomposition 🌱 Understanding how biomass decomposes is essential for managing our carbon storage. During decomposition, methane—a potent greenhouse gas—is released in small quantities, making it difficult to detect. The challenge is not only in developing sensitive sensor technology but also in managing the energy required for precise measurements. Our advanced system accurately measures critical decomposition parameters, providing valuable insights into the conditions within our storage chambers after site closure. This enhances our ability to monitor and manage these environments effectively. #MethaneDetection #EnvironmentalMonitoring #CarbonRemoval

🌟 Yesterday, we had a productive and insightful workshop with GuD Geotechnik und Dynamik Consult GmbH, a leading civil engineering firm in Germany, diving deep into the civil engineering design of our biomass storage projects. 🏗️   From regulation to cost structures in construction projects, we covered crucial topics that enhance our projects' efficiency and sustainability.   Our discussions focused on:   ✅ Specific design of our storage chambers ✅ Water management strategies ✅ potential synergies with infrastructure construction projects   A special thanks to Matthias Römer from GUD Consult for sharing his wealth of experience and providing valuable insights. We feel confident and well-supported in our ongoing and future projects. 🚀🤝   #carbonremoval #startup #construction

🌿 Exciting Day at Our Proof-of-Concept Site in Dresden! 🌿 Today, our team visited our proof-of-concept project site again. It was an incredible experience to excavate the stored woody biomass and assess its potential decomposition. We stored the wood underground over a year ago and are happy to report that our unique storage site design limited the decomposition effectively. These findings increase our confidence that biomass storage is a powerful and promising method to store carbon underground durably. A special shoutout to our amazing interns Lizette Crooks, Brandon Tran and Pia Richmond who weren't afraid to get their hands dirty and dive into the hard work. #engineering  #carbonremoval #biomass

⚡Carbonsate takes Dresden by storm⚡ The Carbonsate team is excited to share our second-generation sensor system. Our interns have spent the last 4 weeks creating this prototype to now test its viability at our team retreat in Dresden, the location of our first biomass storage site. This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the relentless effort and creativity of our interns Lizette Crooks and Brandon Tran. The future of Carbonsate is looking brighter than ever with this breakthrough! #Innovation #SensorTechnology #carbonremoval

Participated in the German Energy Agency (dena) Workshop for the German Negative Emissions strategy (LNe) yesterday with a select group of stakeholders. 📕 Full recognition of biomass storage as a viable carbon removal technology is still missing but im giving my best to communicate the great potential of this approach, for Germany, Europe and globally. Happy to see the discussion acknowledge the importance of technology openness to all approaches. German policymakers can learn some from their American counterparts, where biomass storage is already financially supported by the DoE. Thanks for the chance to participate in this important process Stefan Schlosser and Nicole H. from Deutscher Verband für negative Emissionen e.V. (DVNE). #carbonremoval #startup #climate

We are excited to announce our Carbon Removal pre-purchase agreement and investment partnership with WEtell.Mobilfunk, a pioneering net-zero telecommunications service provider from Germany. 🎉 WEtell is expanding its biochar carbon removal portfolio by incorporating our direct biomass storage credits. Biomass storage offers the highest carbon removal efficiency per tonne of biomass used, maximizing the scalability and efficiency of the positive impact. WEtell’s investment in Carbonsate supports our mission to remove millions of tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere in the coming years. Our climate efforts are highly aligned since both Carbonsate and WEtell aim at regeneration. That involves more than just preventing climate damage. Carbon Dioxide Removal is part of the solution to reversing global warming. Thanks to Alma Spribille, Grey Resor, Benjamin Thaidigsmann and the entire WEtell Team for making this happen! #carbonremoval #sustainability #netzero Johanna Broell Fabian Sperling

Selected out of over 500 applicants: Carbonsate Joins SpinLab - The HHL Accelerator Program! 🎉 We are beyond excited to announce that Carbonsate will join the prestigious SpinLab Accelerator program! According to a recent Financial Times ranking, SpinLab is a top European Start-Up Hub and Top 2 in Germany. We are especially excited about the deep industry connections of SpinLab in the energy and mining industry. We're thrilled to leverage this network to drive our projects forward and get more carbon underground. As a team, we are eager to make the most of this journey with SpinLab and its partners to support the growth of our vision. #Sustainability #Innovation #carbonremoval Fabian Sperling Johanna Broell Pia Richmond

🎉 Cooperation alert: The combination of growing new trees and permanently storing biomass is the most efficient way for large scale carbon removal! That's why we are partnering with EcoNetix! 🎊 🌲 EcoNetix is one of the leaders in nature based carbon removal and with that fits together well with Carbonsate's Biomass Storage approach. We will offer a combined portfolio of afforestation and biomass storage carbon removal credits. This offers the unique opportunity to cover the entire life cycle of biomass carbon removal in one credit portfolio. We are looking forward to this collaboration and to working with the EcoNetix team to develop high integrity climate protection projects. #Collaboration #ClimateTech #carbonremoval Jakob Zenz David Salzgeber Paul Nimmerfall Fabian Sperling Johanna Broell

The Carbon Removal market will be a key future industry for Germany and Europe, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) finds in new study. 📈 Our co-founder Fabian Sperling attended the Sommerfest of the Deutscher Verband für negative Emissionen e.V. (DVNE) celebrating the new DVNE’s and BCG’s study, highlight the enormous potential of CDR. 🎉 The study is projecting a global market potentially worth 500 billion to 1 trillion € by 2050. Germany is at the forefront of the global CDR industry and could achieve an annual revenue of 70 billion €, generating up to 190,000 jobs in the country alone. 🇩🇪 This report demonstrates the need for proactive policymaking to secure Germany's position as a leader in the global CDR market. With the right policy in place, the carbon removal market will not only help Germany achieve its ambitious climate goals, but will also create a prosperous industry sector. 💶 We are especially happy to see our Biomass Storage carbon removal approach mentioned in the report as a promising method. ✅ #carbonremoval #startup #innovation Johanna Broell Fabian Sperling Pia Richmond Lizette Crooks Brandon Tran
