In this episode of CDR Procurement Guide, Eli spoke with Myles Allen, Professor of Geosystem Science in the Environmental Change Institute, School of Geography and the Environment and the Department of Physics, University of Oxford.

He is known for his work on understanding and quantifying the drivers of climate, and he has been referred to as 'the physicist behind net zero' by the BBC.

Some of the highlights from this episode:

• Evolution and importance of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) in addressing climate change.
• Connection between the finite carbon budget and the need for CDR to achieve net-zero emissions.
• Public communication on the dual challenge of emission reduction and responsible carbon disposal.
• CDR framed as a waste disposal issue, essential for long-term climate stability.
• Producer responsibility principle: fossil fuel industries should be accountable for carbon cleanup.
• Difference between carbon capture at the source vs. carbon removal; advocating for integrated strategies.
• Carbon removal industry as a significant driver of job creation and economic growth.
