S2 #7: How Microsoft offsets emissions
The Carbon Removal Show | Negative Emissions, Net Zero, Climate Positive
09/21/22 • 30 min
Now we've been through the process of buying our first carbon credits, we wondered how a larger, infinitely more complex operation might do the same.
We spoke to Elizabeth Willmott from Microsoft to get to the bottom of what it means to be a big time buyer of carbon credits.
We dive into the company's climate strategy, how to remove the emissions of one of the world's most significant companies, and what to do about historical emissions.

Introducing... Grounded: A Climate Startup Journey
The Carbon Removal Show | Negative Emissions, Net Zero, Climate Positive
05/07/24 • 2 min
While you’re waiting for more episodes of The Carbon Removal Show, we wanted to introduce you to another project that our very own Tom Previte has been busy on...
Grounded: A Climate Startup Journey
This is the story of a startup that wants to remove carbon from the atmosphere and help reshape our relationship with the planet. Ideally without burning to the ground in the process.
It was a good few years back when Tom stumbled across biochar. That was during the first season of The Carbon Removal Show. And it turns out that this biochar stuff... it's not just an ancient technology but also a cutting-edge solution for today’s climate problems.
Grounded: A Climate Startup Journey captures the highs and lows of a green startup - from sharp learning curves to unlikely breakthroughs. Listen in as Tom digs deep into the realities and complexities of setting up a carbon removal project, and gets to grips with the science, the money, and everything it takes to build an environmentally (and financially) sustainable business.
Because if we’re going to save the planet, we’re going to need a lot more businesses like this one.

S1 #7 | Fundraising and finance: how do we scale up carbon removal?
The Carbon Removal Show | Negative Emissions, Net Zero, Climate Positive
12/01/21 • 50 min
"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:
- Marcius Extavour, Vice President, Energy & Climate at XPRIZE
- Patricia Silva, Co-founder and Non-Executive Director at the Carbon Removal Centre & Investment and Deal Management at Green Angel Syndicate
- Brennan Spellacy, Co-founder and CEO of Patch

The facts are clear - the planet is heating up because of emissions humans are putting into the atmosphere.
Even if we are able to cut out all our carbon emissions as fast as possible, we would still need to remove carbon we've already put in the atmosphere to hit global temperature targets.
Join Emily Swaddle and Tom Previte as they explore the world of carbon removal. What is it? Why is it necessary? How does it work? And who is doing it?
Along the way they'll be speaking to the people who are working to make carbon removal a widespread reality.

S1 #4 | Biochar and BECCS: can we do more with plant power?
The Carbon Removal Show | Negative Emissions, Net Zero, Climate Positive
11/03/21 • 41 min
At first, the idea of harvesting, harnessing, even burning our beloved biomass may seem counterintuitive, at least from a carbon removal perspective. Why not just leave biomass be?
Well, as we've heard so far this season, the carbon cycle is out of kilter. Even with our best efforts of restoration and enhancement, relying on forests and soils alone for the carbon removal we need may be too slow, too short, too unreliable.
This is where biochar and Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) come in. While different, both offer to do more with biomass, for the sake of carbon removal and more.
Can these really achieve carbon neutrality, let alone removal? Is there enough biomass out there? Are these the scalable, permanent and reliable silver bullets we've been dreaming of?! In this episode, Tom and Emily teach each other a thing or two about how to get the best from your biomass, for carbon drawdown's sake.
Many thanks to our excellent guests in this episode:
- Dr Naomi Vaughan, Senior Research Associate at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research
- Pia Henrietta Moon, Co-founder & CEO at Carbo Culture

S3 #5 | How can companies contribute to industry scale?: Gigaton thinking - with MASH Makes
The Carbon Removal Show | Negative Emissions, Net Zero, Climate Positive
01/30/24 • 39 min
What happens when an individual company bakes industry scale up into their business philosophy? In this episode, Jakob Andersen shares the “gigaton thinking” mindset that drives his company, MASH Makes, in their approach to business and biochar.
MASH Makes started as a project at the Technological University of Denmark focusing on technology that could convert various waste streams (mainly residue biomass) into different energy products. In short, MASH Makes use automated machines that are able to produce bio oil, hydrogen and electricity from agricultural waste, with the main byproduct of this process being biochar – a soil amendment that actively absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere.
Big thanks to MASH Makes for supporting this episode.

S2 #10 | Ocean-based carbon removal part 2: What's happening along our coastlines?
The Carbon Removal Show | Negative Emissions, Net Zero, Climate Positive
11/16/22 • 50 min
The world’s coastal areas are some of the most at risk places on earth when it comes to climate change, but could they potentially be some of the most valuable places for creating solutions too?
It’s time for part two in our mini-series on Oceans and... it's the Season two finale!
As we established in last week’s episode, oceans are now becoming a much bigger part of the climate conversation and are a huge site of interest for carbon removal innovation. In this episode Tom and Emily will be taking a deeper look at some of the most exciting coastal-based solutions that are popping up.
They’ll be putting another biomass-based solution into focus – mangroves; they’ll be discussing The Blue Carbon Challenge, a program launched by Friends of Ocean Action to find viable solutions in blue carbon; and they’ll be looking at an interesting ocean-based take on rock weathering - an entirely different context to what we’ve looked at in previous episodes!
A note from our fact-checking corner: midway through this episode we discuss the relative rates of carbon sequestration of mangrove forests vs. the tropical forests you may be more familiar with. For the sake of clarity, we wanted to say here that mangroves store more carbon per year than the forests we mention on a per hectare basis. Forests still come out on top in absolute terms – not to take anything away from the magnificent role of mangroves
A huge thanks to our guests:
Ronald Tardiff, Pillar Lead at Friends of Ocean Action
Kelly Erhart, President & Co-Founder at Vesta

The Carbon Removal Show | Negative Emissions, Net Zero, Climate Positive
12/12/23 • 34 min
We are back! Did you miss us?
Kicking off Season 3, Tom and Emily are exploring what it will take to grow the carbon removal industry to the scale we need. They speak to various actors in the carbon removal space, from project developers and policy experts to marketplaces and buyers.
