SHOWDOWN: Biochar vs Direct Air Capture - with Martin Freimüller

A fun, interactive, first-of-a-kind live debate with over 1000 attendees signed up.We picked two real heavyweights: DAC, the poster-child of CDR, with over 200 DAC companies founded to date. On the other hand, biochar, responsible for a whopping 84% of all durable CDR deliveries to date.In the DAC corner: Martin Freimüller is the Co-Founder and CEO of Octavia Carbon – the first DAC company in the Global South and fifth largest in the world. He moved his life to Kenya in 2021, upon realising it's the world's best place for DAC.In the Biochar corner: Sebastian Manhart is Senior Policy Advisor at Carbonfuture and a Board Member of the International Biochar Initiative. Few post as much about biochar as Sebastian. Moderated by the CDR Policy Scoop co-host Eve Tamme to keep it punchy (not literally), informative, and entertaining. Disclaimer: The primary objective of this debate is to inform & entertain, not to create division. It takes ALL CDR methods to reach the gigaton scale.Links:Eve Tamme: LinkedIn and WebsiteSebastian Manhart: LinkedIn and WebsiteMartin Freimüller: LinkedIn and Octavia Carbon website Hosted on Acast.
