  • Amazing!

    I’ve been a Ross Kenyan fan since he was a cohost, rather than going solo. Not only are the topics a great combo of unusual and interesting, but Ross goes deeply into the subjects exploring the how and why instead of just the what. I appreciate what a deep and diverse thinker he is and that he is able to find knowledgable guests that are willing to go there with him.

    I had the privilege of being part for the book club that Ross hosted during the pandemic and miss it terribly. So glad that he is... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

395: Bright Spots in US Federal Policy? Carbon removal as essential American infrastructure—w/ Eli Cain, Carbon Removal Alliance
Q: What don't I know about that's happening in policy that could be exciting for listeners?
Cain highlights two concrete policy avenues: first, advancing industrial integration policies like Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) and mineralization in the mining sector, with a push to establish empirical data networks and pilot programs; second, leveraging near-term appropriations and farm bill provisions to provide tangible support today while continuing to build longer-term, market-shaping reforms.
394: Will China Stand Up for Climate Policy & Carbon Dioxide Removal?—w/ Sarah Godek
Q: What is the most important factor shaping China's climate policy—energy security or leadership ambitions?
Energy security is the primary driver, as China aims to ensure stable electricity supply and local development, while leadership ambitions shape how they project influence internationally. The balance between reliability and ambitious deployment of clean energy is the ongoing tension.
394: Will China Stand Up for Climate Policy & Carbon Dioxide Removal?—w/ Sarah Godek
Q: Is it possible for China to replace the US as the world's climate leader, given the current global order?
China could play a major supporting and complementary role, but replacing US leadership outright seems unlikely in the near term due to governance structure, historical responsibility framing, and the need for broadly aligned international standards. The discussion suggests that while China may increase influence, the US remains a central driver of multilateral climate governance for the foreseeable future.
389: How to Grow Regen Ag without Carbon Credits—w/ Emma Fuller, Cofounder of Fractal Agriculture
Q: Tell us how Fractal's investment structure works with farmers.
Fractal takes a minority equity stake in farmland, typically up to around 40%, providing capital to the farmer while sharing in the asset's appreciation and providing annual income payments tied to soil health investments. The farmer retains control of management, and there is an option for the farmer to buy the investor out after year two, with a full exit planned around year ten. The model emphasizes aligned incentives, low deal costs, and underwriting at multiple scales to ensure value for both farmer and investor.
388: The Quest to Engineer the Best Carbon Removal Credits—One Year of Residual Carbon w/ Ted Christie-Miller
Q: What projects is Residual currently developing?
Residual is focusing on biomass-based carbon removals, primarily biochar and BEX projects across various geographies including Brazil, Colombia, and the US.
