Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Government AMC for CDR - with Noah Deich
Q: What are the practical next steps if you were to revisit this concept today?
Identify a market with a clear path for a small but growing floor of demand (e.g., ETS mandates or airport/Corsia-like mechanisms), focus on a subset of technologies, and build coalitions around near-term financing and co-benefits to demonstrate viability before expanding.
A Government AMC for CDR - with Noah Deich
Q: Why didn't governments sign on, and what changed over time?
Collaboration stalled due to political and macroeconomic constraints; there was insufficient appetite for new spending and a need for clearer near-term financial incentives. Since then, activity has increased across major regions, but a unified, harmonized international commitment remains elusive.
A Government AMC for CDR - with Noah Deich
Q: What were you trying to achieve with the government-led AMC concept for carbon removal?
The goal was to accelerate demand for carbon removal by creating a credible, bankable market signal through government leadership, essentially pulling governments to fund or incentivize removal at scale, similar to how vaccine markets were mobilized in global health.
How CDR Can Survive Trump? - with Jennifer Wilcox
Q: I'd really like to start with your experiences at the DOE in the carbon management department, and really understand what was the experience then, but also how has it changed, you think, since you've left?
Wilcox describes a Biden-era shift away from fossil subsidies, a push to finance projects that minimize environmental and climate impacts, and a major reorganization that moved carbon-related efforts into a Geothermal and Hydrocarbons framework, altering how dollars are allocated and which offices oversee different aspects of carbon management.
From Air to Sea: the Canadian Senate takes on marine CDR - with Senator Colin Deacon
Q: What role do site visits and empirical monitoring play in building policy support for Marine CDR?
Site visits help lawmakers grasp practical realities, the monitoring methods, and the context for risks and opportunities, thereby earning the social license necessary for policy progression.
