Ballast Nedam Development and Climate Cleanup Foundation jointly open the internationalmarket for CO2 storage in construction and real estate projects. Ballast Nedam Development is taking the step as the first construction and development company to market CO2 storage in its housing projects, a historic moment for the real estate and construction sector. The company is…
The construction sector can be made regenerative with transitions in roughly three areas: energy, materials and social. On May 22 we gathered with about 80 frontrunners in the game to make the construction industry more regenerative. The main takeaways. For Day 1 of the Double Nature Summit, on Constructions, we partnered with Gideon Building Transition…
Investors, policy makers, companies and scientists present plan to restore CO2 balance May 25, the Double Nature Plan was presented at the Double Nature Summit in the Netherlands, a four-day event that has brought together a wide range of stakeholders. The plan sets out a number of actions for the sequestration of CO2 from the atmosphere by…
Which natural climate solutions are scalable? And how can we accelerate? Wednesday September 1 we kick off a new series of Double Nature Talks live at Tolhuistuin with this most pressing question. How will we remove 1500 gigaton by doubling nature? Mimicking nature, we consider our systemic interventions as mycelium inoculating a growth medium. We…
ASN Bank with Climate Cleanup created a metric enabling the financial sector to account for construction stored carbon. This carbon removal metric enables financial institutions worldwide to measure the carbon stored in biobased buildings. In the Netherlands alone, this may add up to around 50 megaton carbon sequestered this decade. Take a look at the…
Bamboo is known as the fast growing wonder plant from Asia, but the plant does also flourish in Europe and even in the Netherlands. Joost Borneman and Brian Wennersten have devoted their lives to this multi-potent natural climate solution and were therefor asked to present their views and experiences June 23, 8 pm CEST at…
Thanks everyone for joining our festive online masterclass on May 26 on scalable climate solutions like seaweed, soil, regenerative (agro)forestry, circulair biobased materials, ONCRA and enhanced weathering. Take a look at the recording on our YouTubeChannel. Happy we had Paul Hawken (Drawdown / Regeneration), Damon Gameau (filmmaker 2040 Join the Regeneration), Matthea de Jong
Embodied beauty is what Interface calls its carpet tiles which store more CO2 than ever before. This global flooring company creates interior spaces with a positive impact on people and planet. How does Interface double nature and when is the company going to be climate positive? The recording of our online Double Nature Talk by…
To reverse global warming, regenerate nature and to navigate more money to natural climate solutions, we continued working on ONCRA, to the benefit of the global common (for you). Take a look at the beta version of this tool based on the doughnut model of Kate Raworth and the global sustainable development goals. It shows…
Climate Cleanup founder Sven Jense was interviewed in the first podcast of Interface. Janneke Leenaars and Sven talked about removing CO2 with biobased materials. It was a great honour to kick off this podcast serie. We’re looking forward to the next episode. To listen to the Interface podcast (in Dutch) click here.
Since the ONCRA kick-off on September 9th 2020, a lot has happened. We’re delighted to have told you more about our progress at the Double Nature Talk Wednesday February 17 at 8 pm CET. Together with our partners Province of South-Holland, Holland Houtland and NIBE, we’re developing a tool to account for the carbon stored in bio-based buildings….
The benefits of biobased constructions are enormous. For people. For nature. For the climate. People have evolved in nature, in the forests and in the fields. Wooden architecture brings nature back into our artificial built environment. We start to feel better: invigorated, healthier and with an increased sense of well-being. As we know, trees
It seems like seaweed has almost infinite possibilities. It sequesters CO2 faster than plants and trees. A real carbon sucker and regenerator of the oceans. All kinds of value chains become more and more feasible, like BlueBlocks.
Dutch people know hemp quite well, but not as much as a nature-based solution to reverse climate change. During our Double Nature Talk on October 7 Matej Prokop, the founder of the NGO Hemp the Climate will share his vision
