Reverion raises $175 million to scale carbon-negative biogas power
German energy technology company Reverion has closed a $175 million Series B led by Kembara, with new investors including Allianz, KfW Capital, and Carbon Equity joining. The capital will fund a new German megafactory scaling production tenfold to 250 MW annually, serving a $2 billion commercial pipeline. Reverion’s containerised solid oxide systems convert biogas into electricity at 74.2% efficiency without combustion, capturing pure biogenic CO2 as a by-product, making power generation carbon-negative. The same systems can run in reverse as electrolysers, making them attractive to data centre operators facing grid capacity constraints.
Residual launches CDR buyer portal with 25 institutional buyers signed up
New York-based carbon removal developer Residual has launched a buyer portal giving corporate customers access to commercial terms, delivery schedules, and project risk assessments before entering a full data room — with 25 buyers from technology, banking, consultancy, and commodities already subscribed. Founded by former BeZero and Oka executives, one of Residual’s projects is expected to reach issuance within the next 12 months.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Environment announced an ambition to achieve 1 million tonnes of carbon removal through biochar by 2030
Environment Minister ChiMing Peng called for working backwards from that goal to build the supply chains, certification systems, and markets needed to deliver it.
CDR.fyi's Durable CDR Market Recap for September 2026 reports over 1 million tonnes of CDR contracted
The month's figure was lled by deals from organisations such as Terradot, Google, Vaulted Deep, Salesforce, Granitor and Stockholm Exergi.

Milkywire has completed a new round of Salesforce-backed pre-purchases of durable CDR
It covers 3,661 tonnes from eight suppliers from six countries, across DACCS, Alkalinity Enhancement, and Biomass Direct Storage.The purchases are part of Salesforce's commitment to contract $100 million in durable carbon removal by 2030. Milkywire has facilitated 46,450 tonnes of durable CDR purchases to date, worth than $12 million across 45+ projects in more than 20 countries.
VCM shifts toward quality as retirements fall and credit premiums grow
Sylvera finds that voluntary carbon market retirements fell in Q3 2026 as quality-first procurement continued to displace volume-driven buying. BeZero data shows credits rated A and above now command a meaningful price premium over unrated equivalents — a trend accelerating as institutional buyers and regulators tighten scrutiny of credit quality.
Verra’s CCS methodology earns ICVCM Core Carbon Principles approval
The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market has confirmed CCP-eligibility for Verra’s carbon capture and storage methodology, extending the international quality standard into industrial CCS projects for the first time and opening a new pathway for corporate buyers to use CCS credits within integrity-compliant procurement strategies.
1PointFive sells 15,000 DAC tonnes through CUR8, Supercritical and Patch
DAC company 1PointFive has agreed to sell over 15,000 tonnes of Project Stratos removal credits through its channel partner network, distributing credits into sporting events, year-end portfolio top-ups, and bespoke decarbonisation strategies — allowing the company to reach buyers who would not otherwise access large-scale DAC supply directly.
Arbon Earth wins Indonesia’s first ocean carbon removal permit
Swedish ocean CDR company Arbon Earth has received formal approval from Indonesia’s Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries for deep-sea marine carbon removal — the first such permit ever granted in Indonesia. The approach cultivates seaweed to absorb atmospheric CO2, then lowers it to the ocean floor for long-term storage. Testing begins off Lombok, with further regional expansion under discussion.
Absolute Climate opens consultation on first EAC methodology for gas-CCS
Environmental attribute registry Absolute Climate has released its inaugural EAC methodology for natural gas-fired power generation with carbon capture and storage, covering net-captured volume accounting, energy penalties, and storage verification. The framework is designed to unlock EAC revenue that makes CCS financially viable on gas turbines. The public consultation runs through November 13, with power supplier VPS endorsing the standard.
Rio Tinto commissions carbon capture pilot at Chinese steel plant
Mining major Rio Tinto has commissioned a CCS pilot at Shougang Group’s Jingtang steel plant in China to test carbon capture in integrated steelmaking at industrial scale — one of the first deployments of its kind in Chinese heavy industry, as the sector moves from ambition to commercial execution.
Enfinium submits plans for £200 million carbon capture plant in Wales
Energy-from-waste operator Enfinium has filed plans with Flintshire County Council for a post-combustion carbon capture retrofit at its Parc Adfer facility in North Wales, targeting 241,000 tonnes of CO2 captured annually at 95% efficiency. Captured CO2 will feed into the HyNet offshore storage pipeline, with planning officers recommending approval. The facility is required to operate until 2050 under proposed conditions.
Eneco signs Letter of Intent with CDR platform Klimate
Dutch energy company Eneco has signed an LOI with Denmark-based CDR procurement platform Klimate, expanding on an investment relationship from 2023. Through the partnership, Eneco gains access to Klimate’s project portfolio and due diligence capabilities as it responds to growing customer interest in high-quality carbon removal.

Oslo-based carbon capture provider Capsol Technologies has secured five new engineering studies over recent weeks, expanding its industrial footprint with additional contracts across the cement and energy sectors.
Germany tenders for 1.1 million Article 6.4 carbon credits
Germany has opened a procurement tender for up to 1.1 million internationally transferred mitigation outcomes under Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement, in one of the first major sovereign purchasing tenders under the new centralised mechanism — signalling growing government-level demand for independently certified carbon reductions and removal.
Norway to spend $1.1 billion more on international carbon credits
The Norwegian government is seeking parliamentary authorisation to increase its budget for non-EU international carbon credits by $1.1 billion, after EU rules blocked access to lower-cost EEA allowances — signalling a significant expansion of Norway’s engagement with international voluntary and compliance carbon markets.
ZeroMe launches app linking household gas purchases to carbon offsets
ZeroMe has launched OffsetC, a consumer app connecting routine household gas purchases to verified carbon credits — making ZeroMe one of the first companies to integrate voluntary carbon market participation directly into everyday retail energy consumption.
