The CDR Policy Scoop

• Can Germany lead the way on CDR Policy?

  Not one week passes without news of major developments coming out of Germany: earlier in the year, Europe’s biggest economy became the first country in the world to enshrine a net-zero target (2045) into its constitution.Following the recent election, the ruling coalition then included carbon removal in its coalition treaty. More recently, a line dedicated to CDR was added to the federal budget and rumour has it that large sums of funding could soon be allocated to this as early as 2026.Could Germany become the global powerhouse for CDR? And what will it take exactly to get there?Co-host Eve Tamme discusses this and more with Nadine Walsh, the Policy Manager from the Deutscher Verband für negative Emissionen e.V. (DVNE) - Germany’s national CDR association.Links:Eve Tamme: LinkedIn and WebsiteSebastian Manhart: LinkedIn and WebsiteNadine Walsh: LinkedInDVNE: Website and LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

• Green Claims Directive: what is happening? - with Elisabeth Harding

  One of the world's first regulations to fight corporate greenwashing is on the final stretch. Or is it?The final trilogue, the negotiations between the three EU institutions, was pushed back to June 23rd but was ultimately cancelled. A push by the German government and the conservative EPP group in Parliament has led the policy process off the rails, with the European Commission considering withdrawing its proposal.Critics of the GCD highlight the increased complexity and costs for industry, which is already struggling across Europe. Proponents see it as an essential tool to help ensure companies back up environmental claims with scientifically sound measures.And what about CDR? If passed, the GCD could make the use of carbon removal a requirement, leading to significant demand.Eve Tamme and Sebastian Manhart will be joined by Elisabeth Harding, one of Brussels' finest CDR policy experts, to discuss the latest developments and next steps.Show notes:Eve Tamme: LinkedIn and WebsiteSebastian Manhart: LinkedIn and WebsiteElisabeth Harding: LinkedInGreen Claims Directive proposalEU Commission announces withdrawal of Green Claims DirectiveWhy a little greenwashing law set off a political explosion in Brussels Hosted on Acast.
