In this episode, we sit down with Jim Blackburn, environmental lawyer and CEO of BCarbon, to discuss how the nonprofit carbon registry—born out of Rice University’s Baker Institute—is building measurement-based carbon markets around soil, forest, and blue carbon. Jim explains why credible carbon sequestration depends on strong legal systems, active stakeholder communities, and transparent protocols, and how economics can motivate landowners to participate in nature-based climate solutions. We also explore Houston’s shift in the carbon conversation since 2020, the role of living shorelines and resilience projects, the emergence of reinsurance markets for carbon assets, and why community engagement is essential to making carbon markets work.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.
