Ep. 139: Jeremy Freeman, Founder & Executive Director, and Danny Cullenward, Policy Director, at CarbonPlan
Today's guests are Jeremy Freeman, Founder & Executive Director, and Danny Cullenward, Policy Director, at CarbonPlan. CarbonPlan is a new non-profit that focuses on improving the transparency and scientific integrity of carbon removal and climate solutions through open data and tools. Their work involves analyzing carbon removal opportunities based on the best available science and data, and helping organizations make specific decisions towards their carbon removal goals. They also work collaboratively to build open tools and resources for the evaluation and deployment of carbon removal and other climate solutions. Jeremy, a PhD in neuroscience, spent four years as a group leader at Howard Hughes Medical Institute and three years as the computational biology director at Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative. He became increasingly worried about the climate crisis and thought biotech open science principles could have interesting applications in the fight to address climate change. Meanwhile Danny, a JD and a PhD in environment & resources, felt frustrated after a bruising experience in climate politics and had started to work on a book about applied policy in climate markets. When they met, they realized practical climate policy paired with radical open science and transparency could revolutionize the carbon offset and removal market, and CarbonPlan was born. We have a great discussion in this episode about carbon markets, why they matter, what is broken about them, the best ways to fix it, and how CarbonPlan is setting out to help. They have a unique perch in the market, and this is a must listen for anyone with carbon markets on your mind! Enjoy the show.
