    In the 7th Episode of The Giga Ten, a discussion with Sebastian Manhart, we get into how *little* funding CDR gets if one considers the funds allocated to the whole green transition, even though many people assume otherwise. We get through other pressing topics, like the importance of keeping the EU-ETS tech neutral, SO important. Watch or listen to the next Giga Ten!

    Carbon Gap has launched a funding tracker for CDR in Europe which is mighty helpful given it is hard to find pockets of funding for this important innovation. In this 4th episode of The Giga Ten Sebastian Manhart and I discuss this as well as the need to grow CDR companies post pilot. The rest of the conversation covers policies that emerged recently and we end wondering about the new CDR project in Wyoming, Spiritus, that just received $30 million.

    Sebastian Manhart updates us on the CDR (carbon dioxide removal) industry in conversation with Leila Conners. The GigaTen is a newsletter that Sebastian posts monthly and Leila thought it would be an interesting conversation to update monthly as well. We think that CDR is important and a unifying pathway as it creates jobs, proposes new ways to manufacture materials and can remove CO2 as needed.
    Thank you for watching!
