Carbon Business Council

CDR is evolving into a global market and institutional capital will help drive the next wave.

He highlights rising momentum in CDR, stronger policy frameworks (including the EU’s #CRCF), early signs of commercial banking engagement, and new revenue and insurance models that are helping make carbon removal an investable sector.

📘 The economics of carbon removals are shifting.

Ben Rubin, Executive Director of @co2bc.bsky.social, is featured in the latest CarbonUnbound Europe Report.

This is a signal that Europe intends to scale removals as part of its broader climate strategy.

As @co2bc.bsky.social grows its footprint in Europe, we see a clearer, more predictable and investable policy environment taking shape, one that can support CDR’s move from pilot to scale.

Key EU signals:
✔️ Buyers’ Club to pool voluntary demand
✔️ Carbon Farming Database to reduce MRV burden
✔️ Carbon storage in buildings methodology expected in 2026
✔️ New methodologies for DACCS, Bio-CCS, and biochar

National action and EU-level policy are now reinforcing each other.

🇪🇺 Europe is accelerating carbon removal

Germany’s nearly €500M commitment to CDR and the European Commission’s new rules to operationalize the #CRCF framework mark major momentum toward a more coherent EU market for high-integrity removals.
