In this enlightening episode of Deep Dives with DPI, we welcome Sean Lowrie, Head of External Affairs for ARCA, one of DPI’s associate members. Sean shares insights from his 30-year career in international development and his current work with ARCA, a climate technology company pioneering innovative ways to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Tune in to understand more about:

• How ARCA is developing technology that can turn carbon dioxide into rock using mining waste materials, creating a potential multi-billion dollar opportunity for the mining industry
• The importance of building relationships with host communities and traditional owners before defining projects
• Why experimentation is crucial for balancing urgent climate action with responsible risk management
• The power of multi-stakeholder collaboration in creating shared value and overcoming challenges in the minerals value chain

Throughout the conversation, Sean emphasizes ARCA’s purpose-led approach to stabilizing the climate while recognizing that the extractive model that created the climate crisis needs transformation. He shares how ARCA collaborates with mining companies, host communities, regulators, investors, and governments to create new value streams and operating models that benefit all stakeholders.
