With his experience in Carbon Markets, Nikolaus is Carbonfuture's expert in this field. He works on integration with certification standards for biochar projects and other removal technologies. Through this work, he helps to ensure Carbonfuture can hold to its claim of providing "carbon removal you can trust". Nikolaus also heads our Carbon Removal Sourcing Team, which brings up exciting new project leads every day. As carbon removal needs to be massively scaled to achieve our climate goals, we need to speed up, release the breaks and gain traction. Nikolaus' motivation has always been driven by his goal to achieve positive impacts on our environment. During the more than 15 years he worked with First Climate, he gathered in depth know-how on emission reduction certificates, their accounting and knowledge on the different carbon markets in general. As early as 2017, Nikolaus started considering biochar and other carbon sinks as one of the major solutions for our climate crisis.
