A Deep Dive into the Carbon Credit Markets with Puro.Earth
Scientists, corporate leaders, and policy advocates across the carbon removal industry are vocalizing the need for more support of the carbon market and CDR technologies. Puro.earth CEO Antti Vihavainen is no exception. Founded in 2019, Puro.earth became the first infrastructure to issue credits to engineered carbon removal methods. Biorecro met with Antti to discuss how […]
The Complete Guide to Carbon Removal Terminology
Navigating the intricate landscape of the carbon removal and climate industry can sometimes be a challenge with the many terminologies that exist, each carrying its own distinctions. In this rapidly evolving sector, staying up-to-date with all the terms and acronyms is crucial to understanding the industry. To provide clarity, here is a comprehensive guide to […]
Are CDR Technologies Being Left Out of EU Climate Legislation?
The pursuit of carbon removal solutions has become an endeavor that requires widespread collaboration between governments and the private sector. Science shows that “net zero isn’t possible without carbon removals”. Amid the conversation of climate action collaboration arise important questions: What does it look like to advocate for carbon removal legislation? And how are private […]
How to Remove Carbon Emissions and Generate Power
Introduction What makes Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) a promising option for removing carbon emissions at scale? One of the biggest draws is its ability to be integrated into industries that emit biogenic CO2. The capture and storage of carbon originating from biomass makes this process completely net negative, meaning facilities that integrate […]
US Department of Energy Gives $27 Million for Carbon Transport
On September 15, 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) made an announcement, unveiling a funding initiative of up to $27 million. This funding is specifically reserved for the transportation of carbon dioxide emissions captured from industrial facilities, marking another pivotal step in the endeavor to combat climate […]
Climate Solutions from an Environmental Strategist
In Biorecro’s new initiative, we are launching a series of interviews with experts in various corners of the climate industry. These conversations serve a dual purpose: to obtain their unique perspectives and to illuminate the ongoing efforts in finding climate solutions. Executing effective climate solutions is not a one-person task. Climate policy implementation involves a meticulous […]
BECCS Requirements Outlined by the IPCC
What does the IPCC say about BECCS? The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is an organization tasked with understanding how human activity has impacted the climate and determining best practices to restore a healthy and balanced global climate. The IPCC has three working groups and each group focuses on a particular issue related to […]
Pulp and Paper Mills as Hubs for Carbon Removal
Removing Emissions with Pulp and Paper Mills As a BECCS project developer, Biorecro partners with industrial facilities to deploy BECCS operations at the facility site. Potential facilities fit for BECCS (Bioenergy with Carbon Capture & Storage) include but are not limited to, combined heat and power (CHP) plants, bioethanol plants, biogas plants, or pulp and […]
The IPCC Assessment Report Explained
The Origin of the IPCC What is often regarded as the world’s largest peer-reviewed process, has only been in operation for 35 years. In 1988, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In the last 35 years of its operation, the IPCC […]
Fast Action Needed to Prevent Reaching a 1.5 C Increase
The World Meteorological Organization announced that the planet may soon pass the 1.5-degree threshold in the next five years. The conclusion was made after observing the amount of heat-trapping pollution in the atmosphere and an upcoming El Niño. Shared in the WMO’s annual climate update, the prediction stated there is a 66% probability that Earth […]
