Carbon Engineering

Meet Jackie and Shelene, Carbon Engineering’s (CE) Health, Safety and Environment team based at our Innovation Centre in Squamish, British Columbia! As we take a moment to reflect and honour all the amazing women championing #DirectAirCapture innovation at CE, we want to highlight those supporting the team in prioritizing working safely today and every day. #InternationalWomensDay

Wishing everyone a very happy holiday season from the team at Carbon Engineering!

The past few months have seen a lot of movement on decarbonizing aviation. With a busy travel season in full swing, we’ve put together a playlist of our favourite podcasts that will give you an inside look at how an industry that connects us all can fly towards net zero. As you hit the road or take to the skies this holiday season, have a listen to the following: • CE’s Anna Stukas sat down with Na'im Merchant on the Carbon Curve podcast for a deep dive on all things Direct Air Capture (DAC) and aviation, including how airlines are leaning in to kickstart DAC today. https://lnkd.in/g5yn9EpZ • For the SimpliFlying podcast, Shashank Nigam ✈ talks with CE’s Amy Ruddock and gets into the science of DAC and what it can do for aviation. https://lnkd.in/dphpHi3k • If you’re looking for more on the emerging DAC industry, The Economist's Vijay V. Vaitheeswaran reports in-person from the site of the first commercial facility to use CE’s technology, expected to be the largest in the world. Vijay gives listeners a good overview of the technology, as well as what needs to be done to scale (the section about DAC begins 10 min 55 seconds into the podcast).

Lufthansa Group has become the latest airline to sign on for the Airbus Carbon Capture Offer. One of Europe’s largest airlines, Lufthansa joins All Nippon Airways, Air Canada and easyJet in adding durable carbon removal to their decarbonization portfolio, backed by Carbon Engineering’s Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. Lufthansa has contracted to pre-purchase verified and durable carbon-removal credits for 40,000 tonnes of CO2, with credits supplied by our partner, 1PointFive. DAC is expected to play a critical key role in enabling airlines to decarbonize, both as a high-integrity form of carbon removal, and by scaling the atmospheric CO2 available as a feedstock for synthetic sustainable aviation fuel in the coming years.

Air Canada has become the first North American airline to sign up for the Airbus carbon removal initiative, with removal credits supplied by 1PointFive using CE’s Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. The announcement illustrates the role that DAC can play in airlines’ decarbonization portfolios, alongside emissions reductions such as sustainable aviation fuel, to help the industry achieve net zero emissions. Airlines across three continents have now embraced carbon dioxide removal backed by CE’s DAC technology to address residual emissions. We applaud Air Canada’s continued support of DAC, from their investment in the advancement of CE's DAC technology alongside Airbus in 2022, and now by participating in Airbus’ carbon capture offering.

Representatives from Japanese shipping company NYK Line joined us at our Innovation Center in Squamish last week to learn more about Direct Air Capture (DAC). We discussed the role that DAC can play as part of a portfolio of emission reduction and carbon removal solutions to help industries with hard-to-abate emissions, such as shipping, reach net zero. NYK recently released their Decarbonization Story, which highlights the need for deep emission reductions along with the importance of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) to address residual emissions. NYK Group's Scope 1+2+3 have set a target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. #DAC #CDR #netzero #shipping

The CE team today hosted the UK Jet Zero Council session and chair Mark Harper, UK Government Secretary of State for Transport. Amy Ruddock, CE's VP Europe and Middle East, posted an overview of an engaging event - see below for more.

Na'im Merchant spoke with CE’s VP Business Development Anna Stukas for the Carbon Curve Podcast to learn more about how Direct Air Capture (DAC) can help decarbonize aviation, discussing: · The aviation industry’s progress in decarbonization · Carbon removal’s role in counter-balancing residual emissions ·  How airlines are building DAC-enabled carbon removal into net zero plans today · The critical pieces in supporting DAC capacity scale up · And much more… Thank you, Na’im, for this great piece and in-depth discussion.

TD Securities and our partners, 1PointFive, today announced one of the largest purchases of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) credits by a financial institution. The CDR will come from STRATOS, 1PointFive’s first Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant currently under construction in Texas, using Carbon Engineering technology. We applaud TD’s leadership and strategic focus on the energy transition, as they continue to build out carbon advisory and trading capabilities in the voluntary and compliance carbon markets. Today’s addition of high-integrity DAC-enabled CDR further expands TD’s portfolio of solutions – Read the full details below. #DAC #CDR #NetZero 

Carbon Engineering VP and Head of Business Development, Lori Guetre, will be speaking at the inaugural CIBC Carbon Summit this Thursday, October 26, in Toronto. #carbonremoval #directaircapture #CIBCCarbonSummit
