Boulder County develops carbon removal strategies for local governments
After climate change-related weather patterns ignited the most destructive wildfire in Colorado’s history, Boulder County decided to take action by creating the Climate Innovation Fund.
With this initiative, Boulder County sought to mobilize local government resources to advance climate adaptation strategies for increased resilience, as well as model how local governments can incorporate carbon removal projects into their sustainability plans.
In collaboration with Carbon Direct and the 4 Corners Carbon Coalition, Boulder County has documented best practices for place-based carbon removal in a comprehensive playbook. The four-part framework outlines how local governments can implement high-quality, equitable carbon removal projects that take into account community resources and priorities.

Eramet explores carbon dioxide removal pathways for industrial decarbonization
Eramet, a global mining and metals company, is advancing innovative decarbonization pathways to reduce emissions across its industrial processes and support its long-term climate goals.
To support decarbonization in a hard-to-abate sector, the company is evaluating biogenic materials as a substitute for fossil coke alongside carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies for smelter emissions. Eramet is also assessing whether carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits could help strengthen the business case for these emerging projects.
Working with Carbon Direct, Eramet evaluated carbon credit methodologies and registry standards applicable to its Norwegian operations. The assessment identified credible pathways for high-quality CDR project development and provided a roadmap for registry engagement and future participation in voluntary carbon markets.
