CRIA joins the Oxford Offsetting Principles Forum
CRIA has been invited to join the Oxford Offsetting Principles (OOPs) Practitioners Forum, an initiative housed at the University of Oxford. The OOPs provide a science-based framework to ensure offsetting contributes effectively to a net-zero society, emphasising the urgency of emissions reductions and the need for durable removals. This recognition affirms CRIA’s commitment to responsible climate action, and we look forward to
collaborating with global experts to shape best practices for scaling high-integrity CDR
solutions.
CDR for Water & AgricultureWRG & CRIA Workshop.
The 2030 Water Resources Group and CRIA held a workshop to explore how Durable CDR can improve soil health, water resilience, and sustainable agriculture. Over 30 global and domestic startups participated, focusing on developing synergies and practical solutions. Discussions emphasized the role of CDR in enhancing circularity, particularly through Crop Residue Management in Direct Seeded Rice.
White Paper Launch and Panel Discussion at CDR COP28
The discussion touched on upcoming reports on biochar and ERW, Dr. Sanjeev Khagram's climate action framework, and India's significance in emissions. It also covered MATI's ERW focus, Mash Makes' biochar deployment, varied pyrolysis approaches, and the importance of rigorous scientific backing for CDR credits. Constraints in India's capital flow were highlighted, emphasising policy support and multilateral banks' role in carbon removal.

New Carbon Removal Newsroom episode ft. Tom Mills and Shantanu Agarwal on CRIA efforts to scale up CDR in India.
It's clear that India could play a pivotal role in achieving global carbon removal goals, offering cost-effective and scalable solutions. How is a new organisation working to bring together major players in India to jumpstart an industry and make it happen?
Carbon Removal in India: A Potential Transformative Sector
As the CDR sector develops, there will be countries where tonnage can be durably removed from the atmosphere while generating massive benefits for agricultural systems in regions which will be highly impacted by climate change. Srishti Singh and Tom Mills delivered a keynote on the Opportunity to Lead the World through High-Scale CDR at CDR San Francisco on 6 November, 2023.

India Realising its Potential as a Global Leader in Durable Carbon Removal
Congratulations to Mati Carbon for Delivering the First Enhanced Rock Weathering Carbon Removal Credits in the Global South
As the Carbon Removal India Alliance (CRIA), we are excited to share a significant milestone achieved by one of our esteemed founding members, Mati Carbon. They have successfully delivered their first carbon dioxide removal (CDR) tons to Frontier buyers, marking a pivotal moment not just for Mati Carbon, but for the durable CDR sector in India, and highlighting the crucial role of climate markets in promoting rural inclusive growth and a just transition.
