WELCOME

Welcome to the first edition of the Center for Carbon Removal Newsletter – your source for updates on our activities and for news across the carbon removal field! We have a number of exciting announcements in this edition, so make sure to let us know what you think (and to engage in the carbon removal conversation) via TwitterFacebook, and via the comments section of our new blog

Without further ado, a few highlights on our progress here at the Center for Carbon Removal:

Our big news: Earlier this week, we officially announced our seed funding from the Berkeley Energy & Climate Institute! With this new funding, we have started making progress on a number of fronts, including:
  • Curating a comprehensive online hub for high-quality information and discussion about carbon removal. We have started compiling resources and information on carbon removal on our website, as well as posting original analysis on our blog (see highlighted posts below). Expect more original content in the form of videos, interviews, etc. soon, and let us know if you have any resources you think would be good for us to share!
  • Last week, the Center hosted its first event: an accredited session at the pre-COP21 “Our Common Future Under Climate Change” conference in Paris on carbon removal research needs and coordination. We’ll post highlights from this event shortly, and we hope to convene many more events like this in the future to discuss a wide range of topics related to carbon removal.
  • The Center has already gotten some great press coverage – check out the “Press” section below for links to news stories about carbon removal that highlight the work we are doing here at the Center.

What climate scientists talk about when they talk about carbon removal - Last week, around 2,000 climate experts gathered at the Our Common Future Under Climate Change Conference hosted by a consortium of NGOs in advance of the upcoming UN COP21 climate negotiations. The idea of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to create “negative emissions” was a hot topic of conversation at the Conference. We've summarized the key takeaways here.
