👋 Meet the team driving carbon dioxide removal (#CDR) in #Germany

💪 Just one year ago, Oscar Schily, Chris Sherwood, and I met up to discuss the need for national CDR advocacy in Germany. One year on, the Deutscher Verband für negative Emissionen e.V. (DVNE) is up and running, has more than 40 members, and is supporting the German government in scaling CDR to achieve net-zero by 2045.

💚 So join me in welcoming the A* DVNE team in Berlin:

• Stefan Schlosser: Managing Director, who spent 10 years in the public sector, serving Angela Merkel and most recently Olaf Scholz’s Chancellery.

• Nicole Herold: Policy Manager, who is pursuing a PhD in law and is joining us from CDRMare.

• Philipp Rupp: Communications Manager, a trained journalist joining us from the DENA, the German Energy Agency.

• Sebastian Hanss-Mirodone: Member Advocate, who is currently doing his MSc in Sustainable Management and Technology.

✅ In 2025, Germany will go back to the polls in what could be the most important election to date to ensure progress towards net-zero. We are planning to make CDR a priority across party lines, highlighting the potential to merge climate objectives with sustainable economic growth.

🙋 Keen to know more or get involved? Follow the Deutscher Verband für negative Emissionen e.V. (DVNE) here on LinkedIn and sign-up to our newsletter on our website: https://dvne.org/

📣 Also a big shout to my fellow Board members who worked very hard to get us to this point: Stephanie Bischof, Magnus Drewelies, Carolin Güthenke, Lisa Mangertseder and Alexander Zeihe.

🚀 Auf geht’s!
