Construction Day – Double Nature Summit 2023

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…

Biochar adds many values to the soil

Transforming biomass into biochar is a very old way of fertilizing the soil – as well as sequestering carbon dioxide. Biochar is a booming natural climate solution. Perpetual Next’s advisor and longtime cleantech investor Albert Fischer has been working on biochar for quite some time now. He will be joined by Dutch Carboneers Berend de Haas and…

How rocks and trees collaborate in sequestering gigatons of CO2

Did you know that if we co-deploy reforestation, enhanced weathering of rocks and biochar, we might sequester up to 10 times more carbon per hectare? Wednesday 2nd of March, Future Forest Company founder Jim Mann joined us online to tell about all the ins and outs of Trees and Rocks (and even biochar and therefor mycelium). The…

We are the mycelium

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…

Metric enables financial sector to account construction stored carbon

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…

Social Tipping Points to reverse climate change

When discussing climate change, the words tipping points are usually used to address physical phenomena. An international scientific team, led by Ilona Otto from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) shows that social tipping points also cause sudden and irreversible disruption of the status quo. Just like physical tipping points do. “Social tipping points are subdomains…
