Pulling the Carbon Out of the Sky with CUR8's Marta Krupinska

CUR8 co-founder Marta Krupinska, a passionate advocate for carbon removal, believes that carbon removal is essential to addressing climate change, while it can also be a profitable business.

CUR8 is building a marketplace for carbon removal credits. These projects can include planting trees, capturing carbon dioxide from the air, or storing carbon dioxide underground.

In this episode, Marta and I will discuss the following topics:

• What is carbon removal?
• Why is carbon removal important?
• How does CUR8 work?
• The challenges and opportunities of the carbon removal market
• The cost of carbon removal and how it is expected to come down over time
• The role of governments and businesses in supporting the development of the carbon removal market

“When I first heard of carbon removals in 2020, it genuinely rocked my world, for the reason that for the first time, I thought, Okay, hang on a second, well, we have to continue radically decarbonizing, we're doing everything we can, and we should do more. But also, we have a way of aiding that process with something that actively also pulls carbon out of the sky," Krupinska said.

"We have to mobilise everything that we've got. But we also know that the science is clear, there is no staying below 1.5 without carbon removals, and I put all of my work, and effort, and hope into that," she said.
