Growing the Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) market

Catalyst · 5 May 2022 · 51m

What this episode covers

Ryan Orbuch, a partner at Lowercarbon Capital and former lead of Stripe’s carbon removal initiatives, discusses the emerging Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) market with host Shayle Khan. They analyze the diverse technologies involved, from biomass to engineered solutions, and critique the current voluntary carbon credit market's lack of rigor regarding permanence and additionality. Orbuch argues for separating the cost of verification from the price of removal to create a credible commodity market and highlights critical bottlenecks like energy consumption and nutrient scarcity.

    Putting Oil Back Where It Belongs with Peter Reinhardt, CEO & Co-Founder of Charm Industrial

    Peter Reinhardt, CEO and Co-Founder of Charm Industrial, explains how his company converts waste biomass into bio-oil for permanent underground carbon sequestration. He details the hardware challenges of building mobile pyrolyzers to process fluffy biomass like corn stover and the geological engineering required for safe injection wells. Reinhardt also discusses the evolution of the carbon removal market, noting that while tech companies are early adopters, policy-driven markets will be essential for scaling to the hundreds of millions of tons needed.

    Using Cooling Towers to Scale Atmospheric CO2 Removal with Silvain Toromanoff, Co-Founder and CTO of NeoCarbon

    Silvain Toromanoff, Co-Founder and CTO of NeoCarbon, explains how his company uses waste heat from existing cooling towers to power Direct Air Capture (DAC), aiming to scale atmospheric CO2 removal efficiently. He details the technical challenges of their vacuum temperature swing reactor, the business model of selling units to utilization customers like breweries, and the strategic decision to leverage existing industrial infrastructure rather than building new plants. Toromanoff also discusses the supply chain difficulties faced by early-stage hardware startups and the ambitious goal of reaching megaton-scale removal by 2030.

    HIBT Lab! Climeworks: Jan Wurzbacher

    Jan Wurzbacher, co-founder and CEO of Climeworks, explains how he and co-founder Christoph Gebald built the world’s largest direct air capture facility, the Orca plant in Iceland, which removes 4,000 tons of CO2 annually. Wurzbacher details the company's evolution from selling captured CO2 to Coca-Cola and greenhouses to providing permanent carbon removal services for corporate clients like Microsoft and private individuals. He discusses the massive scaling challenges, including the need for 10 billion tons of annual removal by 2050, the capital intensity of hardware, and the strategic importance of pairing capture facilities with renewable energy sources like geothermal power.

    Advancing Soil Carbon Measurement for Sustainable Food Systems with Chris Tolles of Yard Stick

    Chris Tolles, Co-Founder and CEO of Yard Stick, explains how his company uses spectroscopy to reduce soil carbon measurement costs by 90%, enabling scalable carbon removal and improved agricultural economics. Tolles details the hardware challenges of integrating commercial spectrometers into durable, handheld field instruments and the critical need for extensive calibration libraries across diverse soil types. He argues that affordable measurement unlocks the economic viability of nature-based solutions for major emitters, contrasting the low cost of soil carbon with the high expense of engineered solutions like Direct Air Capture (DAC).

    ICYMI... HIBT Lab! Climeworks: Jan Wurzbacher

    Jan Wurzbacher, co-founder and CEO of Climeworks, explains how his company is building the world's largest direct air capture facility, the Orca plant in Iceland, which removes 4,000 tons of CO2 annually. He details the technology's modular design, using filter materials that capture CO2 and release it when heated, allowing for permanent underground storage in basaltic rock. Wurzbacher discusses the company's journey from selling CO2 to greenhouses and Coca-Cola to securing $650 million in Series 6 funding to scale operations. He argues that while emission reductions are critical, removing 10 billion tons of CO2 yearly by 2050 requires scalable technological solutions like Climeworks, which he compares to the rapid cost reduction seen in solar PV.
