Happy Friday. This week we’re back with a special edition of the ‘Meet the Methods’ series, featuring bio-oil. The explanation of this unique method comes with aid from our removal partners at Charm Industrial, who are spearheading the development bio-oil. Bringing technical expertise, they lend their perspective on the opportunities and challenges to scale this method. Thanks to Sebastian Smith, Net Zero Partnerships at Charm, for lending your expertise. Watch the #video below to meet the method #biooil #carbonremoval #cdr #cdrmethods #carbonremovalmethods

The science is clear—all viable climate models show that carbon removal will be necessary to achieve the targets set by the Paris Agreement. However, not all offsets are created equal. Finding reliable and impactful carbon credits can’t be taken for granted, as Katja Grothe-Eberhardt explains. Klimate offers companies the tools and access to confidently invest in high-integrity carbon credits that actively remove carbon from the atmosphere. These range from forestation projects that offer major social and environmental co-benefits, to highly permanent solutions like storing bio-oil deep underground. Our portfolios allow companies to contribute to their decarbonisation goals while simultaneously investing in the rapid scaling of carbon removal technologies. Thanks to Digital Hub Denmark for this great video!

We are excited to announce a new supplier Klim! Klim is a German AgriTech company who aims to create a joint movement with farmers, businesses, and consumers to scale regenerative agriculture and remove carbon. Alongside this, Klim’s project works to improve soil health and biodiversity, as well as enable the transition for farmers to be more sustainable, profitable, and recognised stewards of the soil. To put farmers at the forefront and help reach these goals, they have developed a platform to aid farmers’ transition. Said best by Marc Flachmann from Klim: “We are looking forward to driving the decarbonisation movement together with Klimate and their customers as one of their high-quality, innovative, and verifiable carbon removal solutions aligned with science.” We look forward to supporting the development of Klim’s project to sustainably scale and develop a fully regenerative food system, at the benefit of farmers, the environment, and all people. #carbonremoval #regenerativeagriculture #sustainability #netzero

📎 With a lot of attention around climate claims (like the EU Green Claims Act and more) it is important to understand the differences and make an informed decision for your sustainability strategy. Both ‘carbon neutral’ and ‘net zero’ are related concepts about balancing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere with the amount removed. But, there are some nuanced differences between the two. 🔍 Where does carbon removal fit into these claims? Consider these takeaways from supranational frameworks like SBTi: 1️⃣ Whether you are striving for a carbon neutral or net zero target, high-quality carbon removal is a credible choice to tackle residual emissions. 2️⃣ The use of high-quality carbon removal at the same time as reductions is the key to meeting our climate goals. Read more about the nuanced differences between carbon neutral and net zero in the slides below.

Charm Industrial and Klimate.co continue partnership with $1.1M Agreement We are happy to highlight our ongoing partnership with Charm Industrial through another agreement, a San Francisco-based company leading the way in carbon removal innovation. Charm specialises in converting excess unused biomass into fast pyrolysis bio-oil. This bio-oil is then injected deep underground into depleted oil wells, where it remains stored for millennia. Charm’s unique approach combines natural processes with engineered solutions, resulting in highly scalable carbon removal and storage. Said best by Simon Bager, PhD, CIO and Co-Founder at Klimate: "We are excited to announce the expansion of our partnership with Charm Industrial, facilitating the recent delivery of nearly 1900 tons of permanent carbon dioxide removal (CDR). In alignment with our shared commitment to addressing climate change, we recognize the imperative to scale removal capacities to megaton levels in the next decade to stay within the 2-degree limit. Together with Klimate's clients, we look forward to working closely with Charm to further advance and scale carbon removal initiatives.” “Klimate has partnered with Charm since we first started delivering permanent carbon removal in 2021. We’re happy to announce this major milestone in our growth together. As more organisations move from spot purchases to offtakes, we hope our relationship serves as a model for the successful scaling of this market," says Sebastian Smith, Sales Lead at Charm Industrial. Since our initial collaboration with Charm Industrial in 2021, we've witnessed their remarkable growth and achievement of significant milestones, including sequestering over 7,000 tons as seen on their carbon ledger and the successful closure of a $100 million Series B funding round. We're excited to continue our collaboration as we work together to address climate change and scale removal capacity for a better future! #carbonremoval #biooil #cdrmarkets #carbonremoval #netzero

🌍 SEC's New Climate Disclosure Rules vs. EU's CSRD: A Comparison 🌍 On March 6, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the nation's first national climate disclosure rules. These are effectively a counterpart to the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) across the pond, but with some substantial differences: 1️⃣ Scope of Emissions Covered Despite two years of negotiations, the final SEC rules are notably weaker than the original proposal, and do not include Scope 3 emissions (which can account for up to 90% of a company’s emissions profile) in the reporting requirements. The CSRD does require companies to report on their Scope 3 emissions alongside Scope 1 & 2. 2️⃣ Materiality of Risk While the SEC focuses primarily on financial materiality, the EU's CSRD embraces a double materiality approach, considering both financial and non-financial impacts. 3️⃣ Different Reporting Timelines The SEC's reporting timeline is somewhat delayed in comparison to the CSRD’s, with its requirements being implemented over several years starting in 2025. Meanwhile the CSRD's impacts are expected sooner; large public-interest companies will have to report on their 2024 emissions. While the SEC’s rules are limited, there's potential for a stricter global standard based on the CSRD as many companies affected operate internationally. EU regulations hold significant sway over multinational companies and supply chains, especially regarding Scope 3 emissions. As regulatory landscapes evolve, prioritising transparent reporting is essential for effectively addressing climate risks.
