Episode Description
2025 was a year of real progress for carbon removal, but also one that exposed the limits of existing frameworks.
In this end-of-year retrospective, Eve Tamme and Sebastian Manhart look back at the policy moments that most shaped carbon removal over the past twelve months. Each brings their own highs and lows to the table, reflecting different lenses on EU, international, and national developments.
From the EU’s 2040 target and CRCF progress, to setbacks around voluntary initiatives, green claims, and US climate policy. The episode unpacks what moved the field forward, what disappointed, and what lessons should carry into 2026.
A clear-eyed assessment of a mixed but ultimately forward-moving year for CDR policy and why the foundations laid in 2025 will matter well beyond it.
