Welcome to Carbon Insider - Carbon Unbound's weekly briefing on the deals, data, and developments shaping the global carbon removal market. Let's get into it. Have we missed anything? Get in touch here to send news for feature or publish.
CDR News
Spiritus signs Joint Development Agreement with Aramco's Research & Development Center to advance DAC technology
This follows their 2024 memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Aramco, where they also recieved an equity investment from Aramco Ventures.
EU Commission adopts certification methodologies for carbon farming under the CRCF Regulation
The European Commission adopted three carbon farming certification methodologies under the CRCF Regulation, covering agriculture and agroforestry on mineral soils, rewetting and restoration of peatlands, and afforestation. The methodologies were developed following a public consultation and discussions with the Expert Group on Carbon Removals.
This week Cool Effect sent a combined $3,190,798 directly to 6 carbon projects.
The payment reflects strategic support for a carbon removal portfolio built around three pillars believed to deliver the most direct atmospheric benefit: reducing superpollutants, protecting nature as essential climate infrastructure, and scaling investment in engineered carbon dioxide removal (CDR).
A Healthier Earth, along with Mangrove Systems, Launch The World’s First Integrated CDR Platform From The Data Center Sector
A Healthier Earth (AHE), the climate tech-focused R&D subsidiary of Pure Data Centres Group (Pure DC), has teamed up with Mangrove Systems to launch the world's first integrated carbon dioxide removal (CDR) platform from the data center sector - marking a major milestone for carbon removal innovation and sustainable data center infrastructure.
Midway through the year Frontier portfolio has removed 30,600 tons - already more than all of last year
Deliveries to Frontier buyers have doubled every year since 2024 and Hannah Bebbington Valori, Head of Frontier, reports they expect total deliveries this year to exceed 50,000 tons. Deliveries this half came from 11 companies: Alt Carbon, CarbonRun, Charm Industrial, CREW Carbon, Graphyte, InPlanet, Lithos Carbon, NULIFE GreenTech, Planetary, Terradot, and Vaulted Deep.
Airhive Acquires Carbyon to Forge European Direct Air Capture Powerhouse
In a move set to reshape the European carbon removal landscape, Airhive has acquired Carbyon, forming a new Anglo-Dutch leader in direct air capture (DAC) technology — a significant step forward for the carbon dioxide removal (CDR) industry and Europe's growing DAC sector.
BEVerify Launches in Partnership with Xpansiv to Scale Carbon Markets Across the Built Environment
BEClimate today announced the launch of the BEVerify registry, marking a new phase in building decarbonisation. The registry connects real-world carbon reduction projects with transparent carbon market participation, unlocking investment and extending climate action to the built environment at scale.
remove Launches Its First CDR Accelerator Program In Latin America
With proven impact across Europe and India, remove is expanding its carbon dioxide removal (CDR) accelerator program to Latin America empowering local entrepreneurs and climate tech startups to unlock the region's vast carbon removal potential and drive real, measurable climate action.
Interview: How ChrysaLabs and Cultivo are Scaling High-Integrity Soil Carbon
We interviewed ChrysaLabs and Cultivo to learn how they are solving the biggest problem in soil carbon: balancing high-quality science with real-world costs. In this joint showcase, they share how combining smart land planning with AI-powered soil scanning lowers risks, cuts costs for local farmers, and provides the trusted proof that premium corporate buyers now demand.
Isometric certified protocol for Improved Soil Management
Cultivo, Great Yellow, and HGX are the first suppliers to register under the new soil carbon protocol, which outlines the requirements and procedures for projects that increase soil carbon storage through management practices such as reduced tillage, cover cropping, and the incorporation of beneficial microorganisms.
Carbon Business Council's New Brief Charts a Path to Scale Direct Storage of Biomass
A new issue brief from the Carbon Business Council, Direct Storage of Biomass: Assessing the Carbon Removal Opportunity, examines this emerging carbon dioxide removal (CDR) pathway in depth, offering actionable recommendations for public and private sector decision-makers to accelerate investment and drive deployment at scale.
Opinion: "I Actually Тhink Тhe SBTi Standard Is Quite Good For The VCM"
Ted Christie-Miller explains how SBTi now gives companies an actual reason to buy carbon credits. "I keep turning that over, because for years the framework did the opposite."
Idex And Nuada Launch Breakthrough 10,000-Ton BECCS Hub in France
French energy transition company Idex Group has announced a strategic partnership with carbon capture technology provider Nuada to deploy one of Europe's first industrial-scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) units dedicated to biogenic CO2. The project marks a significant step forward for carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure in Europe, supporting the growing carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and industrial decarbonisation sector.
