Against all odds, the Liberal Party just won the Canadian general elections. Mark Carney’s party explicitly campaigned to turn Canada into a global leader in carbon dioxide removal.

Canada plans to do so by - among other things - extending its investment tax credit to 2035, supporting a broad range of CDR tech, and introducing dedicated CDR targets for 2035 and 2040.

This all sounds incredibly promising. But will Canada be able to realise this ambition?

No better person to answer this question than Na'im Merchant, Executive Director of Carbon Removal Canada, an organisation that has been instrumental in raising the profile of CDR in Canada over the last two years.

Na’im joins co-hosts Sebastian Manhart and Eve Tamme for a fast-paced, 30-minute session that gets right to the heart of the debate.

It's out: the European Commission published a consultation to gather feedback on what the world's largest emission trading system - the EU ETS - should look like after 2031.

For carbon removals, integration into the EU ETS represents one of the most promising paths to predictable demand at scale. Whether and how that will happen is still up for debate.

A unique opportunity to get involved with such a crucial legislative process from the get-go.

Join Eve Tamme and Sebastian Manhart for a punchy 30-min discussion that dives into the consultation, its implications, and what a potential call to action for the CDR industry could look like.

Are we scrubbing the smokestacks and skies of a waste gas, or creating a valuable resource for a net-zero world?

As carbon management technologies like CCS, CCU, DACCS, and BECCS advance, policymakers and markets are narrowing down on CO₂’s role.

In this CDR Policy Scoop, we dive into:

• What happens if we treat CO₂ only as waste?
• ⁠What is the real potential for CO₂ to be commoditized?
• ⁠How does this debate shape business models, public acceptance, and climate impact?

We’re thrilled to welcome seasoned carbon management expert Rachael Moore from CarbStrat as a guest with unparalleled insights on the topic.

This session is a must for anyone interested in the future of carbon markets, policy innovation, and scaling high-quality carbon removal. There’s a lot to explore!
