Issuing a verified carbon credit isn’t simple. It requires precise measurement, strict compliance with evolving regulations, and third-party validation. InPlanet recently announced its development and delivery of certified carbon credits in Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) as the first in the world – a milestone for the entire Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) industry. As InPlanet’s Head of Carbon, Dr. Matthew Clarkson put it: “To allow us to have the standard to issue that credit, we have to align with scientific best practices, follow strict protocols, and pass independent validation. It’s complex, but it’s what makes our credits truly credible.” The journey … Read more

Webinar with Dr. Matthew Clarkson, Head of Carbon at InPlanet: Certified EW Credits Issued by Isometric

Webinar InPlanet and Isometric

A new milestone for Enhanced Weathering (EW) to play a significant role in large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) while delivering co-benefits to agriculture and soil health. During this webinar hosted by Chris Podgorney, Head of Product at Isometric, Dr. Matthew Clarkson, Head of Carbon at InPlanet, explores how the issuance of these credits raises the bar for quality. What sets them apart is their incorporation of the latest scientific advancements in enhanced rock weathering, backed by academic consensus. The carbon credits webinar also explores the operational feasibility of conducting rigorous Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) in Enhanced Weathering (EW). The … Read more

How do we measure Carbon Dioxide Removal?

Quantifying Carbon Dioxide Removal Through Enhanced Weathering: A manuscript Enhanced weathering (EW) is emerging as an exciting new carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technique. Enhanced weathering is scalable now and has a staggering potential to remove gigatonnes of CO2 annually. However, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of CDR with EW – how we measure its effectiveness – is widely viewed as the biggest barrier to scaling of the technique. Robust MRV is crucial to the widespread operationalization of EW. Ultimately, trust in the EW industry depends on these three letters.   To bring greater transparency to the topic, InPlanet’s research team has … Read more
