AirMiners: What’s Hot in Carbon Dioxide Removal, April 2026

This is the April 2026 edition of AirMiners’ monthly “what’s hot” rundown, hosted by Tito Jankowski. It’s a roughly 10-minute state-of-the-market intro followed by breakout discussions. The framing is blunt: investors are pulling back, government funding is shaky, and Microsoft — the buyer that effectively underwrote the last two years of offtakes — has gone quiet. Tito’s pitch is to stop speculating and look at what’s actually closing.

Exomad Green × Supercritical: Inside the 500,000-Tonne CDR Deal

This is a ~10-minute Exomad Green podcast episode (“Green Talks”) featuring Francesco from Exomad and George, Director of Supply at Supercritical. The headline: a three-year offtake agreement for up to 500,000 tonnes of biochar carbon removal credits, covering all remaining 2026 inventory plus allocations for 2027 and 2028. It’s a vendor-produced announcement, but there are a few data points worth pulling out.

Take: Public Consultation – Global Biochar C-Sink (Version 4.0)

Public Consultation – Global Biochar C-Sink (Version 4.0) is a webinar from Carbon Standards International (CSI) walking through the proposed v4.0 update to its biochar carbon sink methodology. Patritzia, CSI’s chief standard officer, presents the headline change: a new upper persistence class — “C-Sink 1000+” — requiring 90% geologically persistent carbon, validated by either hydropyrolysis (HyPy) or random reflectance analysis. Public consultation is open with a target effective date of May 22.

Take: The Future of Marine CDR: Scaling Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement with Planetary

This is a Nature Tech Collective webinar with Dr. Will Burt, VP Science & Product at Planetary, walking through ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) as Planetary practices it — adding a mineral antacid to seawater to neutralize dissolved CO₂ and shift the air-sea equilibrium toward more uptake. The framing is 101-level by Burt’s own admission, pitched at an audience he assumed would be mixed. The substantive claim is the familiar one: OAE sits in the favorable corner of the NOAA scalability-vs-cost matrix, and Planetary is among the further-along operators trying to prove it at sea.
