THE REIMAGINATION OF WORKFORCE TECHNOLOGY
Business problems have changed, requiring new or reimagined solutions. Business leaders need to rethink the modern workplace with the complete and holistic needs of people at the center of their workforce experience, employee wellbeing, culture, and digital technology strategies. For business to thrive in the Now of Work, organizations need to deliver a digital culture that connects and empowers employees wherever they work. They also need to connect the dots between organizational culture, values-driven leadership, whole person wellbeing, and a workforce experience that makes people effective, committed, and happy.

Human Resources is called to meet the needs of their workforce in a more human way, with a digital approach, through a whole person lens, with seamless and frictionless delivery that provides a consumer-grade experience wherever a person works. Digital HR technology vendors provide solutions for these challenges, solutions that include include HCM (Core HR, Benefits, Payroll), Talent Acquisition, Candidate Experience, Learning, Career Growth & Development, Mentorship, Rewards & Recognition, Talent Marketplace, Performance Management, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning/Chatbot technology, Workforce Experience Platforms, People Analytics, and more. But these solutions need to innovate faster, which requires both understanding the changing landscape and realities of the Now of Work as well as fresh thinking around expanded capabilities and integration strategies needed to address new business challenges. Everything for these vendors needs to be addressed; including their go-to-market strategy and sales positioning; how they leverage design thinking and the use of personas and journey mapping in delivering value to the workforce; and how they sell to buyers who are also understanding digital workforce realities like service delivery, portal and intranet strategy, and digital culture and experience design in an Experience Economy.

“Our industry demands change, deserves innovation, and is absolutely desperate for fresh thinking,” explains Jason Averbook, CEO and Co-Founder of Leapgen. “But we cannot change an industry without addressing the mindset and behavior of enterprise HR leaders AND the vendors hungry to serve them with right-fit, value-driving solutions. We all need to evolve together, and we need to do it now. HR is learning to design digital solutions to meet the human demands of the Now of Work; Luminate helps their vendors speak the same language.”

LUMINATE’S IMPRESSIVE LEADERSHIP MUSCLE
Luminate, powered by Leapgen, is led by Kristin Penney and Jess Von Bank, an impressive leadership duo with incredible expertise in marketing strategy, brand and message development, industry research, product marketing, and digital solutions for the workforce.

“Every enterprise in the world is trying to transform,” explains Penney, General Manager and Head of Leapgen’s Luminate practice, “and they require solution providers who can truly partner to solve unique business challenges in the Now of Work. HR leaders have a daunting task at hand: evolve the business by evolving the workforce. They can’t use the same approaches they used before. Solutions need to be reimagined, they need to be positioned for value, and they need to address the real needs of the true customer. No longer are we selling HR technology to HR buyers; workforce technology should be designed to change the way people work. People are the new customers; this is the value story vendors need to learn to tell.

Jess Von Bank, Head of Brand Strategy at Leapgen, joins forces with Kristin Penney to change the market faster by changing the conversation. Already leading marketing, brand, content and thought leadership for Leapgen, Von Bank throws her weight behind industry vendors to help connect the dots and help solution providers create stories that truly resonate in the Now of Work. “We can’t do this work fast enough,” explains Von Bank. “Human Resources and enterprise technology leaders are hungry to bring digital solutions to life for the workforce. The vendors who provide these solutions can absolutely command the market by immediately commanding mindshare.

IDTechEx Forecasts Durable, Engineered CO2 Removals Will Reach 630 Mt by 2044

Published

on

idtechex-forecasts-durable,-engineered-co2-removals-will-reach-630-mt-by-2044

BOSTON, May 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) will be needed to reach any international net zero emission targets and avoid global warming beyond 1.5-2°C. Negative emissions technologies (NETs), especially those that go beyond nature-based approaches to provide long-lasting scalable CO2 removals, have therefore been receiving increased support through government policy and voluntary carbon credit purchases from corporations with ambitious climate goals. IDTechEx predicts that by 2044, the world’s capacity for such durable, engineered CO2 removals will exceed 630 megatonnes per annum.

The new IDTechEx report, “Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) 2024-2044: Carbon Credit Markets, Technologies, Players, and Forecasts”, provides a comprehensive outlook of the emerging CDR industry and carbon credit markets, with an in-depth analysis of the technological, economic, regulatory, and environmental aspects that are shaping this market. In it, IDTechEx focuses on technologies that actively draw CO₂ from the atmosphere and sequester it into carbon sinks, namely:
Direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS), which leverages chemical processes to capture CO₂ directly from the air and sequester it in geologic formations or durable products.Biomass with carbon removal and storage (BiCRS), which involves strategies that use biomass to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and store it underground or in long-lived products. It includes approaches such as BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage), biochar, biomass burial, and bio-oil underground injection.Nature-based CDR methods that leverage biological processes to increase carbon stocks in soils, forests, and other terrestrial ecosystems, i.e., afforestation/reforestation and soil carbon sequestration techniques.Mineralization NETs that enhance natural mineral processes that permanently bind CO₂ from the atmosphere with rocks through enhanced rock weathering, carbonation of mineral wastes, and oxide looping.Ocean-based CDR methods that strengthen the ocean carbon pump through ocean alkalinity enhancement, direct ocean capture, artificial upwelling/downwelling, coastal blue carbon, algae cultivation/marine seaweed sinking, and ocean fertilization.TRL (technology readiness level) chart of carbon dioxide removal technologies covered in the IDTechEx report. Source: IDTechEx
These CDR technologies are at vastly different stages of readiness. Some are nearly ready for large-scale deployment, while others require basic scientific research and further field trials.
Durable, engineered removals versus nature-based CDR solutions
Afforestation/reforestation solutions have historically dominated the supply of CDR due to their low cost and high maturity. However, demand for this type of removal carbon credit has been dropping in voluntary markets over the past few years due to several high-profile scandals and the low durability/permanence associated with nature-based CDR. Instead, corporate buyers have increasingly turned towards highly durable, engineered carbon removal credits generated from approaches such as DACCS and BECCS. These removals offer credible climate action but have a high price tag and are in short supply. Most durable engineered approaches are yet to be included in compliance markets and, therefore, rely on pre-purchases from corporate buyers for early-stage commercial development.
The new IDTechEx report, “Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) 2024-2044: Carbon Credit Markets, Technologies, Players, and Forecasts”, provides insights into the most promising technologies being developed in CDR, highlighting the pros and cons of each method, examining key drivers and barriers for growth, and comparing the removal potential, capture cost, and durability of all technologies. Despite capacity currently being limited, there has been much interest in DACCS as a solution to permanently remove CO₂ from the atmosphere and reverse climate change. DACCS is immediate, measurable, allows for permanent storage, can be located practically anywhere, is likely to cause minimal ecosystem impacts, and can achieve large-scale removals.
However, the rate at which DACCS can be scaled up is likely a limiting factor. The challenges of deploying DACCS include the large energy inputs (requiring substantial low-carbon energy resources), the high cost, and the sorbent requirements. The industry is aiming for the ambitious target of gigatonne-scale of DACCS removals by 2050. To make this happen, corporate action, investments, policy shapers, and regulatory guidelines need to come together to bring down the costs.
Although BECCS is currently the most mature and widely deployed durable engineered CDR technology, scale-up has historically been slow, and planned capacity is modest. Despite the technologies behind BECCS being relatively mature, there is a risk that using biomass for CO₂ removal and storage may compete with agricultural land and water or negatively impact biodiversity and conservation. IDTechEx analysis has indicated that BECCS has a large potential to contribute to climate change mitigation, though not at the scale assumed in some models due to economic and environmental risk factors. 
Comprehensive analysis and market forecasts
IDTechEx’s “Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) 2024-2044: Carbon Credit Markets, Technologies, Players, and Forecasts” report assesses the CDR carbon credit market in detail, evaluating the different technologies, latest advancements, and potential adoption drivers and barriers. The report also includes a granular forecast until 2044 for the deployment of nine NET categories (DACCS, BECCS, biochar, biomass burial, direct ocean capture, ocean alkalinity enhancement, seaweed sinking, enhanced rock weathering, and carbonation of minerals) alongside exclusive analysis and interview-based company profiles.
Some of the key questions answered in this report:
What are the requirements (energy, land, water, feedstocks, supply chain) for the deployment of CDR methods?What is the climate impact of implementing CDR on a large scale?Which gaps (technological, regulatory, business model) need to be addressed to enable each NET?What is the status of CDR within compliance markets and voluntary carbon credit markets, and what is the market potential?What are the key drivers and hurdles for CDR market growth?How much do CDR solutions cost today and may cost in the future?Who are the key players in the CDR space?What is needed to further develop the CDR sector?To find out more about this report, including downloadable sample pages, please visit www.IDTechEx.com/CDR.
