durability of several centuries- excludes a lot of nature based solutions
4 basic removal systems: Biochar, Enhanced Rock Weathering, DAC, BECCS
Verified. We act as a broker. Build MRV. 25% of high quality with third party standards. Accelerator action as well
MRV- Monitoring Reporting and Verification of CO2 removal
Helps to verify and protect business by proving through a third party the importance of the credits and CDR
Washington State budget $32 million set aside for CDR from CCA-The Open Air Collective (Chris Neidl and Matt Battles), PacCLEAN- Pacific Coast Legacy Emissions Action Network (Mike Robinson), AirMiners (Jason Grillo), Spark Climate (Daphne Wysham), and the Foundation for Climate Restoration (with me, Terri Pugh) - money acquired from the WA state Climate Commitment Act. Thanks to the political leaders in WA state: Senator Matt Boehnke, Senator Mark Mullet and Representative Joe Fitzgibbon A TRUE HERO too; WA Lobbyist: KATE WHITE TUDOR
Klaus Lackner- “the father of CDR” Klaus S. Lackner
Sebastian’s maturity scale: Voluntary markets are easiest to get off the ground, 1 million- Move into government procurement 10’s of billions and will be more predictable for decades -Compliance markets will have to offset residual emissions, 100’s of billions might help us reach the levels we are going to need.

Sebastian -
Global south often has conditions that favor CO@ removal but funding will likely stay in the north
