You should have deep expertise in carbon removal or climate science — and care about turning rigorous science into systems that actually work. If you think CDR standards should reflect real atmospheric outcomes, we should talk. Learn more: jobs.absoluteclimate.com

We’ve released ACS v2.1, the latest update to the Absolute Carbon Standard. As carbon mitigation markets grow, the rules behind mitigation claims are becoming just as important as the technologies themselves. ACS was designed to help define those rules.

To everyone that's tired of hearing from me, I sincerely apologize. But for those that want an incentive-aligned CDR industry that is correctly assessing atmospheric impacts, I'm going to be speaking at Carbon Unbound East Coast in May. See you there! invt.io/1lxbtk6exb5

Carbon removal is moving beyond early curiosity and into real investment. That was a clear takeaway from #CarbonRemovalDay in Ottawa last week, where we hosted “Setting the Standard,” a breakfast with leaders from industry and government on building national standards for CDR. The launch of the Advance Carbon Removal Coalition, with a $100M commitment and early participation from the Government of Canada, sends a strong signal that Canada is open for carbon removal business. It’s the kind of signal that could set the tone for other nations looking to lead in carbon removal.

Emissions are often not reduced because of market structure, not technical limits. Procurement. Geography. Financing. We’re expanding Absolute Climate’s certification framework to include Environmental Attribute Certificates for low-carbon products. Reductions and removals should reinforce each other, not compete.

Absolute Climate has joined the @NEP_Brussels, a network driving policy, markets, and responsible deployment for negative emissions. We’re bringing our standards and verification expertise to make carbon removal measurable, verifiable, and ready to scale. Let’s get to work.

A slower year for carbon removal doesn’t mean the industry is stuck. As a @heatmap_news piece shows, demand is real but still concentrated among a few early buyers. What unlocks broader participation is not hype or volume alone. It’s trust, built through clear standards, consistent measurement, and credible claims. That’s where the work needs to focus next.

The only solutions are clear definitions and consistent accounting. Otherwise, we are likely to erode the trust needed to bring buyers to the table, and inadvertently introduce a barrier to scale that may never be overcome.

For buyers, conflating reductions and removals creates confusion about the impact being created, increasing the likelihood that the wrong claim will be made against their emissions. We need to do better.

When emissions reductions and negative emissions are conflated, there are no winners. I wrote an op-ed with @ImpactAlpha to explain why 👇
Absolute Climate@absclimate

Carbon markets only work if claims match atmospheric outcomes. In ImpactAlpha, Absolute Climate co-founder and CEO Peter Minor explains why confusing emissions reductions with carbon removals undermines market credibility. “The difference between a reduction and a removal is not a technicality.” Read at link in comments
