Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What is really happening to DAC Hubs? - with Grant Faber
Q: Is the US still leading the world on DAC?
Grant confirms that the US leads in the number and concentration of DAC-related companies, but notes consolidation and global activity elsewhere, making leadership a moving target depending on metrics (count of companies vs. size or funding) and policy momentum.
MEP Peter Liese: the Rapporteur's take on removals in the EU ETS
Q: How do you view the role of international credits in the ETS and the balance with the linear reduction factor?
International credits should be used indirectly with safeguards to avoid past issues; a portion should flow into the ETS, but the system must ensure integrity and avoid undermining domestic decarbonization efforts.
MEP Peter Liese: the Rapporteur's take on removals in the EU ETS
Q: What is your vision for the governance of removals in the ETS going forward, especially how to handle timelines and potential cap changes?
Advancing the Commission's proposal as quickly as possible is key, with safeguards but no hard cap that would restrict scale; governance should ensure predictability and high-quality projects, while allowing flexibility as the market develops.
MEP Peter Liese: the Rapporteur's take on removals in the EU ETS
Q: Part of the ETS review looks at incorporating removals in the ETS. How do you see the role of removals in the EU policy landscape overall?
Removals should play a big role in Europe's climate policy; including them early makes it cheaper and more feasible to reach targets, and the ETS should incentivize removal deployment rather than delaying action.
ISO, SBTi, and the LCAW Verdict on Corporate Net Zero - with Kaya Axelsson
Q: How do you see ISO being used and by whom in the near term, especially given government and trade considerations?
ISO can serve as a trusted policy tool for trade, disclosure alignment, and public procurement, particularly in regions seeking high-integrity net-zero disclosures and investment-friendly regulatory environments; it can help shape green public procurement and claims legislation by establishing credible baselines for Net Zero alignment.
