That's a wrap on #CarbonUnboundWestCoast2024! 🌍 A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for an inspiring and engaging Carbon Unbound West Coast 2024 Summit! Together, we sparked transformative conversations, bringing together leading voices across the CDR ecosystem. A special thank you to Taylor Insley & Adam Fraser from Terraset, Kevin Niparko from CDR.fyi, TITO JANKOWSKI - AIRMINER and Jason Grillo from AirMiners for their incredible effort in driving the world's first #LIVECarbonRemovalMarketplace. Together, we raised over $20,000 in catalytic funding, accelerating the deployment of projects that will make a measurable impact on atmospheric carbon levels 👏 With such diverse expertise at the table, each session added depth to the conversation on scaling CDR. Here are the highlights and key takeaways from Day Two 👇 🌱 Scaling High-Quality CDR Projects Across Pathways: 🔹Led by Randy Spock, Dan Harburg, and Keeton Ross, the experts emphasized the importance of project rigour, effective monitoring and reporting, and securing investment to create high-impact solutions for global carbon removal needs. 🌊 New Buyers Needed: Capturing the Next Wave of CDR Demand: 🔹This session, featuring Nikki Batchelor, Adam Fraser, Erik Hansen, Juliet Kirby, Na'im Merchant, and Nishad Pai, addressed the roadblocks that prevent new buyers from entering the CDR market, including policy incentives and cost-reduction mechanisms. ⛏️ Mission Possible? Net-Zero Ambitions in the Extractive Industry via CDR: 🔹Brenna Casey, Kate Murphy, PhD, and Ryan Edwards tackled how extractive industries, including fossil fuel companies, can authentically commit to net-zero goals, highlighting the motivations for these companies to enter the CDR market, potentially to offset emissions they cannot quickly eliminate. 💸 Venture Capital Funding in Silicon Valley and Beyond: Meeting Early-Stage CDR Demand 🔹Ryan Orbuch, Meghan Edge, Mike Biddle, and Susan Su discussed the unique challenges and opportunities for venture capital in the early-stage CDR space. Topics included the rising interest in early-phase technologies, the need for high-risk tolerance among investors, and the importance of patient capital to nurture groundbreaking ideas.
