Noah Deich is back. When he last joined the show in February 2025, the US DOE had just gutted its CDR programmes. This time, he returns to debrief on a very different project: his attempt to build a government-led advanced market commitment for carbon removal, modelled on the GAVI Vaccine Alliance in global health.
He spoke to around two dozen governments. The outcome wasn’t what he hoped for, but his diagnosis of why is sharper than you might expect, and it points to a fundamental gap that no country has yet closed.
Noah draws on the history of renewables to explain what CDR policy is still missing, identifies the two interventions he’d prioritise above everything else, and makes the case for why the current political moment, however bleak it looks, may be exactly the right time to be thinking big.
The AMC concept isn’t dead. But the path there looks different than it did two years ago.
