S1 #7 | Fundraising and finance: how do we scale up carbon removal‪?‬ The Carbon Removal Show | Negative Emissions, Net Zero, Climate Positive

"It's not going to take a few dozen, or a few hundred, or a couple thousand people working on this. We're going to need many more people working on this." (Marcius Extavour)


These days, we talk about carbon removal at the scale of tonnes - hundreds...even thousands of them. Over the coming decades, we will likely need to be talking at the scale of billions. So how do we get there?


And how can a young carbon removal business progress from "one small step" to many giant leaps towards healing humankind's climate conundrum?


In this episode, join Emily and Tom as we ponder a new carbon removal business, and search for the support that could get it off the ground. Marcius from XPRIZE lets us in on how we can get our slice of Elon Musk's $100m pie; Patricia from the Carbon Removal Centre opens our eyes to a community raring to go; and Brennan from Patch gives us the key to unlock the potential of carbon marketplaces. Let the air mining rush begin...


Many thanks to our excellent guests in this episode:
