The Voluntary Carbon Market has been very excited about the potential of direct air capture (DAC). DAC is currently one of the more expensive carbon removal options, and there are some concerns about scalability. However, it’s one of the lower-risk types of carbon removal projects, and conducting due diligence is relatively easier than other project types. Here’s Rubicon Carbon’s Amishi Kumar Claros explaining how DAC mechanisms work: https://buff.ly/3Y49vCV

What’s the difference between carbon avoidance and #carbonremoval? Both represent a tonne of CO2e, but there’s a key difference: ‘Avoidance’ or ‘reduction’ credits represent CO2e that would otherwise have been emitted without the project intervention. ‘Removal’ credits represent CO2e that has been removed from the atmosphere and/or the ocean and stored durably because of the project. We need both types of credits to tackle climate change. Avoidance projects help us from adding more CO2e to the atmosphere whilst removal projects help remove emissions previously added.

Yesterday, we shared the news of our new partnership with Formula E driver Lucas Di Grassi. Today, we're sharing a video put together by Lucas and his team, ABT Sportsline GmbH. Take a look.

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with ABT Sportsline GmbH driver and Formula E Champion Lucas Di Grassi! As the first Formula E driver to personally invest in carbon credits, Lucas has built a portfolio through our flagship product, the Rubicon Carbon Tonne™ (RCT). This actively managed portfolio includes carbon removal, nature-based avoidance, and industrial avoidance projects, helping reduce risk and increase price certainty for buyers. To celebrate this collaboration, Lucas proudly displayed the Rubicon Carbon logos on his helmet and car at last month’s Hankook Portland E-Prix in Oregon. This partnership underscores the powerful role of sports in driving positive environmental change. Tom Montag, CEO of Rubicon Carbon, shares, "We are excited to support Lucas and Formula E in building a low-carbon future. This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to lead in the fight against climate change." Lucas di Grassi adds, "I am proud to be the first driver to offset all the carbon I have emitted since my first Formula E race in Beijing. Working with Rubicon Carbon is the perfect partnership as they are the most credible carbon credit management firm in the world. I hope other athletes will consider this path." This partnership is part of Rubicon’s ongoing efforts to invest in global carbon projects, including large-scale ecosystem restoration in Panama and South Africa and scaling carbon investments in Brazil.

What does the CDR market look like today? Right now, the market is dominated by advanced market commitments and future offtakes. At the same time, there is a real lack of projects that are both durable *and* affordable as CDR technology and the market continue to evolve. Some buyers are investing in expensive solutions such as direct air capture, oftentimes to help drive down costs. Other, more budget-sensitive buyers opt for more nature-based routes to keep costs down. Here’s Rubicon Carbon’s Amishi Kumar Claros explaining the current state of the CDR market:

Our chairperson, Anne Finucane, shares her insights from Aspen Ideas. Take a look:
Thanks to Tina Brown and @aspenideas for inviting me for a great conversation with Former Climate Envoy and Secretary of State John Kerry, Global Energy and Climate Innovation Editor at the Economist Vijay Vaitheeswaran, and TV Journalist Stephanie Ruhle; focused on the $38 trillion dollars needed by 2050 to address the climate crisis. The bottom line is that our future depends on it, and achieving the financing we need CAN happen. Recent movement from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Department of Energy, and Department of Agriculture have been a big boost, as they acknowledged the need to employ carbon credits to help companies close the delta on decarbonizing their value chain, while waiting for technologies to help advance decarbonization. Further, the recent passage of monumental legislation -- the Inflation Reduction Act, the Infrastructure Act and the CHIPS Act -- all provide funding and momentum to accelerate the technological and financial progress needed to decarbonize the U.S. economy. And the financial sector, from venture capital and private equity to banks and asset managers, will increasingly invest in and fund more climate-forward projects as they continue to see real returns. I am delighted to be working with TPG Rise Climate Fund as a senior advisor and chairing one of its portfolio companies, Rubicon Carbon, which focuses on offering high-quality carbon credits through diversified and risk-adjusted portfolios. Through this work, along with my 27 years at Bank of America, a leader in clean energy financing, I’m continuing to see the kind of progress that’s possible. It’s the combination of good policy, innovation and capitalism that will create the energy market we need to help make a difference. Not unlike what the space program did for technology -- history rhymes. #AspenIdeas; #Aspen Daily News

We're proud to support IMPERATIVE and to be investors in the team's 100,000-hectare land restoration project in South Africa. Congrats to the entire team on this major milestone!
IMPERATIVE is proud to announce the receipt of our first ex ante carbon rating from BeZero Carbon. The first 10,000 hectare phase of Imperative’s recently sanctioned South African project, which at full scale will restore 100,000 hectares of land through active replanting of native thicket across a vast area in the Eastern and Western Capes of South Africa, has received an ex ante Standalone Carbon Rating of 'aa' and a BeZero Carbon ex ante Rating of 'Ae'. This ex ante rating puts Imperative’s Spekboom project amongst the highest rated Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetation projects for which BeZero have issued ex ante ratings. This very strong rating serves as a significant external validation and endorsement of Imperative’s commitment to top-decile quality in our carbon credit projects. As execution progresses on the project, we aim to further increase the project’s rating. Read the full release here: https://lnkd.in/g6ZRkvZC #climateaction #voluntarycarbonmarkets
