We can’t reach 1.5°C with emissions cuts alone. Carbon removal must scale alongside decarbonisation.
In this episode, Andreas and co-host Carmel Rafaeli, Founding Partner at The Table, sit down with Henrietta Moon, Founder & CEO of Carboculture to unpack what it actually takes to build carbon removal infrastructure.
Carbo Culture is scaling biochar into industrial systems that lock carbon away for centuries — while generating revenue across agriculture, energy, and materials.
We cover:
• How biochar works and why it’s scalable
• Why carbon removal alone isn’t a business
• The shift to regulated carbon markets
• Financing capital-intensive climate infrastructure
• Scaling from innovation to repetition
