I think the idea is not to replace reducing with removal but to supplement it. There is no substitute for reducing emissions and completely transitioning to zero emissions but we already have such an excess of CO2 in the atmosphere that to

Okay it's a self plug but it you want to be an early adopter and help carbon removal along check out carbonremoved.com We have one time and subscription negative emissions from multiple methods. Happy to answer questions and receive an

I would say it's more a corporate (arguably moral) obligation to help transition to a more sustainable society in balance with the natural world.

There is a distinction between carbon credits and negative emissions. I wouldn't say these projects are bias towards silicon valley style there is simply a growing acceptance that nature based solutions - whole undeniably important and

Take a look at CarbonRemoved.com We have recently added removal via Bio-oil (Charm Industrial) and Olivine. You can choose to remove via monthly subscription or a one-time purchase. Let me know what you think!

Yes the two are complimentary but I wouldn't make a differentiation between primary and secondary. We need to reduce but we need to be removing at the same time. Not only so the net emissions are lower but even if we reduce to zero tom

I know ScrapingHub actually, has some useful tools but as far as I know they don't have a library of off-the-shelf scrapers for popular websites?

Bio-solutions will definitely make up the future of carbon removal but while nature was able to keep itself in equilibrium for millions of years a few centuries of human behaviour has thrown it out of balance. Humans will need to undo their

I like it - having the ability to both support sequestering and the transitioning of others with a single "credit".

Interesting concept! I came across a company making CO₂ negative thermo-plastics the other day[0] which is the closest so far I think we can come to your idea :-) [0] https://www.madeofair.com/

Fundamentally I agree but only if choosing to do both, not either or. To truly reverse the emissions an individual or company has, Carbon Removal is really the only way. Carbon credits _can_ encourage businesses to reduce their emissions (a

Carbon removal is definitely required at this stage. I read a lot of "Trees are _The_ solution"-esq news whenever Climeworks is brought up and while they do sequester carbon the reality is they are slow and cannot solely be used t

That's a great question so I hope I can provide a little insight to my thinking: * You are right, we do need to also focus on reducing emissions and carbon removal is by no means a replacement for reductions; * However even i

I co-founded a company to make carbon removal accessible to everyone ( https://carbonremoved.com ) Idea is to avoid the dubious carbon credit system and instead actually remove your historical footprint. We've been iterating
