Isometric

Isometric recently released a module on the storage of carbon dioxide via carbonation in the built environment. The module details the monitoring and modeling requirements for durable carbon dioxide storage in concrete. In carbonation of concrete, carbon removal can be quantified and measured directly-on site. This provides high confidence in credit generation for both buyers and suppliers. This module allows for credits to be certified with a durability of 1000 years. This module was created in collaboration between Isometric’s in-house Science Team, external consultants from academia and industry—including Arup's built environment material specialists—and reviewers from Isometric’s independent Science Network of over 200 scientists and climate experts. Comments during the consultation period are welcome from interested buyers, suppliers and scientists and will be considered before the module is finalized. Link to read more in the comments.

Vaulted Deep's monthly, verified deliveries are a clear example of how high-quality carbon removal can scale. Vaulted's deliveries for Frontier are verified by Isometric’s digital MRV (dMRV) platform, which creates a standardized way for suppliers and verifiers to provide all necessary data to Isometric. Now credits can be issued in months, not years.

Isometric recently released an update to its Energy Use Accounting Module for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) into public consultation. The module details how to quantify emissions associated with the provision of electricity and heat to CDR projects. The module establishes a set of rigorous, foundational principles relating to provision of low-carbon power, such as solar and wind, that will ensure energy intensive projects have clear climate impact.

That's a wrap on #ClimateWeekNYC. One of the highlights was Isometric's breakfast panel with Robert Höglund from Milkywire, Hannah Bebbington from Frontier, Andres Clarens from The White House and Isometric's Lukas May. Some of the key themes about how to scale carbon removal (CDR) discussed during the panel were also heard more widely across the whole week. Three key things that the Isometric team is taking away from New York. First, we need to help buyers access high-quality credits. Buying CDR now—even if a small purchase—makes an outsize impact on bringing more demand and confidence into the market. Second, we need to build the narrative for CDR. The industry is still nascent and must do more to show CDR operations have real, measurable climate impact and are beneficial to the communities in which they operate. Third, governments around the world are making great strides (and can do more). Existing policy initiatives such as the EU’s CRCF and the US Government’s Purchase Prize are already helping shape expectations for quality in the market. A range of other policy ideas were also discussed this week, including the potential impact for carbon border adjustment mechanisms to embed carbon pricing globally. Isometric’s mission is to help scale CDR responsibly and fast by building a trustworthy carbon market. This week was a welcome reminder that we’re in good company with so many others—corporates, NGOs, and governments—sharing that goal too.

Earlier this month, the Isometric team spent time with our friends at Climeworks at their Mammoth facility in Iceland. Opened just a few months ago, Mammoth is almost ten times bigger than its predecessor plant, Orca. The plant is a demonstrable example of the scaling potential of Direct Air Capture and, once fully operational, will have a capacity of 36,000 tonnes per year. If you're interested to learn more about contributing to scaling carbon removal, check out what else the team got up to in Iceland and see what it's like to work at Isometric. https://lnkd.in/ee73BuZU

Next month Isometric will host the first Digital MRV Summit in San Francisco. Join us to discuss how technology can make carbon removal monitoring, reporting and verification faster, more transparent and more robust. Attendees will get an exclusive preview of upcoming product launches from Isometric and partners, as well as hearing from leading buyers and suppliers. Register today—spaces are limited. https://lu.ma/o109abp3

Why invest in carbon removal today if your targets are set for 2030 or 2050? Stacy Kauk, P.Eng., Head of Science at Isometric, shared her expert insights during our webinar 'What to know before investing in CDR' last week⚡️ From her experience leading Shopify’s $50M carbon procurement program, Stacy explained two primary reasons for immediate action ⬇ Access the on-demand recording of the webinar here: https://lnkd.in/e7W5ZUTP #CarbonDioxideRemoval #CarbonProcurement #NetZero

#ClimateWeekNYC is here and the Isometric team is on the ground to meet with buyers, suppliers and the broader carbon removal ecosystem. Isometric is hosting buyers of carbon removal for an invite-only breakfast and panel discussion on scaling demand with Andres Clarens from The White House, Hannah Bebbington from Frontier, Robert Höglund from Milkywire and Lukas May from Isometric.

Arbor is the first supplier signed on to have credits issued against Isometric's Biogenic Carbon Capture and Sequestration (BCCS) Protocol. All carbon removal delivered to Microsoft through this agreement will be registered with Isometric.
