Carbon credits are not offsets. It sounds obvious, but to many, both critics of offsetting, and supporters of carbon credits, I don't think it is. See this new article by me and Eli Mitchell-Larson in illuminem illuminem.com/energyvoices/2…

Carbon removal plays a big role in latest IPCC report. How will Europe regulate? Join our discussion tomorrow! Eve Tamme | Fabien Ramos (EU Climate Action) | Mark Preston | Carbon Gap speaking | AirMiners & Bellona Europa hosting! Info & sign-ups here: lu.ma/european-cdr-r…

Here's another excellent breakdown of carbon removal's role in the new IPCC report - crystal clarity from Eve Tamme as usual :-)

Making the International Energy Agency's global data on energy open access is a no brainer for climate change (see ourworldindata.org/iea-open-data by Hannah Ritchie & Max Roser) but needs member states to ask it do so. In UK, tell Greg Hands [email protected] you support this, example emails at that link

For millennia, humans have used more and more land for agriculture, taking over wild habitats. But, we are at a unique point in history: agricultural land use has peaked. My latest article: ourworldindata.org/peak-agricultu…

I have been agitating for "peak farm" (over peak oil) as a more useful environmental focal point for a while (x.com/elimlarson/sta…). Thrilled to see Hannah Ritchie & Our World in Data do this analysis justice, wow! Best way to free up land for nature? Nix animal products!

I'm delighted to have been invited by the PM to conduct a review into meeting our Net Zero commitments in the most economically-efficient way. I'm committed to ensuring we continue to lead the world in our Net Zero plans in a way that is pro-business and pro-growth 1/2

The EU's carbon removal certification plans go live today at 14:45 CET! Stay tuned for Carbon Gap's response thereafter.

The EU's proposed "Carbon Removal Certification Framework" is live, we're reviewing now with reactions to come: ec.europa.eu/commission/pre… Timmermans & co describing the proposal live here: audiovisual.ec.europa.eu/en/ebs/live/1

Pleased to see how the EU frames the uses of their carbon removal certificates, including a big role for PUBLIC funding (e.g. directed agricultural subsidies), rather than a sole focus on offsetting fossil fuel emissions (which only "permanent removals" are appropriate for).
