Arca & Carbon Direct partner to scale mineralization CDR Arca and Carbon Direct are teaming up to scale industrial mineralization (IMin) - turning mine waste into durable carbon storage ⚙️ What’s happening: Arca’s tech accelerates natural mineralization, locking CO₂ into rock waste for 10,000+ years - with potential to remove millions of tonnes this decade 🤝 The partnership: Carbon Direct joins as co-developer, bringing scientific and market expertise to help deliver high-integrity CDR credits at scale 💬 What they’re saying: Arca CEO Paul Needham said the collaboration will help “de-risk decisions” and accelerate adoption across industrial partners 📍 Why this matters: Mining waste is massive (~16.5B tonnes globally), making this one of the most scalable durable CDR pathways if successfully deployed 👉 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/dr8izjPq

Ready or not, the new rules of climate engagement are arriving fast! Carbon Direct's April 2026 edition of The Navigator unpacks what new policy shifts mean for compliance strategy, market exposure, and project development. 💸 For companies shipping carbon-intensive goods into the EU — cement, steel, aluminum, fertilizers, hydrogen, electricity — Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is no longer hypothetical. Compliance costs began January 1, and first payments are due next fall. 📓 Article 6 has moved from negotiating rooms to live markets, where host-country authorization for internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs) can make or break a corporate strategy, as the abrupt collapse of Kenyan cookstoves developer Koko Networks made clear. ⚖️ In the US, many energy tax credits remain in limbo pending Treasury guidance, while data center policy and discourse is redefining what "community benefits" mean in practice.

We're excited to announce our collaboration with Arca to bring its Industrial Mineralization (IMin) carbon dioxide removal credits to market, turning mining waste into a scalable climate solution. ⛏️ Arca's proprietary IMin pathway accelerates a natural process that would otherwise take thousands of years, durably storing CO₂ as stable minerals in alkaline mining and steelmaking waste. Following an 18-month pilot that removed net CO₂ at high efficiency, Arca is scaling to new sites. ⛏️16.5 billion tonnes of legacy mining waste exist globally and 3 billion tonnes are added each year. IMin turns that challenge into an asset, converting existing stockpiles into carbon storage with 10,000+ year durability, without significant new equipment or energy required.

‼️ New addition to our webinar: Next week, Emerald AI's Strategy and Business Development Lead Daniel Padilla will be joining Carbon Direct's VP of Power Commercialization Derya E. and CEBA's Director or Transmission Policy John Miller for a live discussion on the realities of increased power demand, load forecasting, and the changing grid. Hear critical expert insights on why forecast accuracy matters for grid investment, the costs of getting it wrong, the barriers driving today's uncertainty, and the most promising techniques to address them. This event will be hosted and moderated by Jake Mitchell, Director of Climate Tech Innovation for Trellis Group. 📅 April 30th, 2026 ⏰ 9 AM PST | 12 PM EST | 5 PM BST Register to attend "What’s Next for Power Demand?

Data-rich doesn't automatically mean decision-ready. As real-time emissions and operational data become standard inputs across the energy ecosystem, the industry is shifting from measurement to action. That shift is reshaping how assets are evaluated, how capital flows, and how procurement decisions get made — and the gap between companies that act on data and those that don't is widening fast. Join A.J. Simon, Carbon Direct's Senior Director of Industrial Decarbonization at The Energy Summit during SF Climate Week alongside Kethees Ketheesan from SkopeOne.io / Puloli, Paul Atkinson from S&P Global Energy, and Michael Weston from CalSTRS for a panel on "Rethinking Energy Decisions in a Data-Rich World." This important conversation will be moderated by Utility Dive's Ethan Howland.

💡 Scope 2 or Scope 3? For companies operating behind-the-meter (BTM), this isn’t just an accounting nuance, it’s a decision with real risk implications. Misclassifying BTM emissions can distort reporting, misinform procurement strategies, and create exposure as standards evolve. In Carbon Direct’s latest power and energy market primer, we break down how the GHG Protocol’s Corporate Standard applies to BTM setups and what that means for accurate accounting, contracting decisions, and long-term strategy.
