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

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.
