BCG Report Supports HCS Approach to CDR We're thrilled to share insights from a new BCG report highlighting the enormous potential of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) to combat climate change. The report emphasizes that CDR could become a trillion-Euro industry by 2050, with significant opportunities for technological advancements and cost reductions. This endorsement aligns perfectly with HCS's innovative approach in developing our RegenAg CDR methodology. By leveraging nature-based solutions and advanced technologies, we're at the forefront of creating scalable, cost-effective carbon removal strategies. #CDR #Sustainability #ClimateAction #HempCarbonStandard #Innovation Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eqcgbaHs

Carbon removal technologies are increasingly crucial for companies, especially tech giants engaged in the competitive race to lead in artificial intelligence. 💡 Key Highlights from Article: 🌱 Karan Mistry, PhD, PhD, Managing Director and Partner for Boston Consulting Group (BCG), highlighted the necessity of carbon removal technologies, stating, “There are some portions of company emissions that you will just never abate.” He emphasized that companies recognize the need to invest in removal technologies to meet their net-zero targets and honor their public commitments. 🌱 Henry Liu, Head of Engineering at Lithos Carbon, noted the forward-looking nature of these investments, stating, “They’re investing in the future of the carbon dioxide removal market. [With] the scale of the market, they recognize that investment is needed. So they’re looking to support pathways.” 🌱 According to Boston Consulting Group estimates, the annual demand for durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is expected to reach 40 million to 200 million tons of CO2 by the end of this decade, while the supply is projected to be between 15 million and 32 million tons. 🌱 Carbon removal methods face several challenges. Direct air capture (DAC), considered to have the simplest measuring system, requires significant infrastructure and costs between $600 and $1000 per ton of carbon captured. 🌱 Credibility issues have recently hampered the carbon offset market, with studies indicating that many carbon offsets have not achieved the promised carbon removal. #CarbonRemoval #ClimateTech #NetZero #AIandSustainability #TechInvestments #CarbonOffsets #SustainableFuture #ClimateGoals #CarbonCapture #EnvironmentalTech #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #ClimateSolutions

AI’s resource intensity is becoming impossible for vendors to ignore!   Analyst Ben Caddy reflects on the 2024 Global Sustainable Ecosystems Survey results, arguing that the industry is hitting an inflection point for reconciling the AI boom with sustainability goals.   As hyperscalers lose support from the Science Based Targets initiative for their decarbonization goals, the industry’s cloud giants find themselves struggling to balance their public net zero targets with AI’s role in increasing their emissions.    Missed our webinar last week?

"Governments are increasingly using industrial policy to develop low-carbon economic sectors and catalyse the energy transition. A recent study provides a framework to explain why governments adopt different types of green industrial policy, depending on industry position in the global supply chain and types of uncertainty."

What’s the point of #corporate #sustainability departments today? Voluntary action by companies cannot deliver a sustainable economy, argues Adam Rome in Stanford Social Innovation Review. That doesn’t mean eco-efficiency and supply chain engagement programmes are worthless, but they’re not enough. Instead, Adam argues (citing Auden Schendler) that the role of corporate sustainability teams today is to lay the foundations for wise public policy: ‘the business world can be a laboratory showing government officials and citizens what sustainability initiatives work—and what initiatives are misguided.’ What do you think?

📢 Incremental change is not enough. Addressing value chain (Scope 3) emissions is essential for companies serious about reducing their carbon pollution – as these emissions are on average over 11 times higher than companies’ operational emissions (via CDP https://lnkd.in/dja_Q2d). Companies that engage their suppliers to decarbonize build resilience and help to protect people and economies. In a global economy, no one escapes when extreme weather hits. Climate impacts in one part of the world affect many other countries and global businesses. The good news is there are many tactics and resources available to get started. Learn from the leading companies taking action across four main areas: 1. Ask suppliers to commit to #netzero 2. Provide resources and support to businesses in the value chain 3. Develop a strategy for other supplier benefits and incentives 4. Support the development of lower emissions products 🔗 To help your company take action, we have brought together best-in-class tools, approaches and examples from across our network of partners, with case studies from businesses successfully implementing these tactics: https://lnkd.in/e8Gp_jg5 #ClimateAction
