410: remove's new Latin American carbon dioxide removal accelerator program—w/ Hans Westerhof & Marian Krüger
<p>There are many startup accelerators out there. There are fewer focused on climate tech. Fewer still for carbon dioxide removal. Lucky for us, <a href="https://remove.global" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">remove</a> runs the absolute heck out of their programs. And it's been a true joy of mine coaching startups in them this past year. I can't even believe it, but <a href="https://remove.global/latam-accelerator" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">the time has come for another program... In Latin America!</a></p><p>If you are a Latin American carbon dioxide removal project and/or technology developer, you should apply to remove's LatAm cohort. <a href="https://remove.global/latam-accelerator" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Applications are out now</a>, and there is a chance we might end up working together.</p><p>I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with the team at remove. They offer focused training, a powerful network, and an unmatched peer group in your cohort. Hoping to see you there!</p><p>In today's episode, cofounders and managing directors of remove, Marian Krüger and Hans Westerhof, join the show to talk about the program, what it means to be ecosystem builders, and how they aim to grow capacity in the Global South generally and Latin America in particular.</p><p><strong>This Episode's Sponsor</strong></p><p><strong></strong><a href="https://www.ecoengineers.us" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>EcoEngineers: a full-service advisory and consulting firm focused on carbon dioxide removal, decarbonization, and carbon markets</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.rosskenyon.com/p/how-to-hire-fire-and-get-max-value" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Listen to the RCC episode I made with David LaGreca from EcoEngineers about how to choose, hire, and fire carbon market contractors.</a></p><p><strong></strong><a href="https://www.ecoengineers.us/ecoforums/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>2026 EcoForums Training Series: </strong><em><strong>Navigating Global Carbon and Fuel Regulations, Market Mechanisms, and Life-Cycle Analysis Fundamentals</strong></em></a><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Resources</strong></p><p><a href="https://climateworkersanonymous.substack.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Check out my new show, </strong><em><strong>Climate Workers Anonymous</strong></em></a></p><p><a href="https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/reversingclimatechange/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Become a paid subscriber of </strong><em><strong>Reversing Climate Change </strong></em><strong>(and get rid of the ads)</strong></a><a href="https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/reversingclimatechange/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"></a></p><p><strong></strong><a href="https://www.rosskenyon.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Subscribe to the </strong><em><strong>Reversing Climate Change </strong></em><strong>Substack</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://climateworkersanonymous.substack.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Subscribe to the </strong><em><strong>Climate Workers Anonymous</strong></em><strong> Substack</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://remove.global" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">remove's website</a></p><p><a href="https://remove.global/latam-accelerator" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Apply to the LatAm carbon removal accelerator</strong></a><strong></strong></p>
