WHAT IS CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL?

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) refers to techniques actively removing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it long-term. It’s crucial for climate change mitigation, especially when rapid decarbonization alone may not meet global climate goals.

• CDR is critical for net-zero emissions and limiting global warming
• It addresses historical and hard-to-abate emissions
• It aims to remove gigatons of CO2 annually
• It complements emission reduction efforts
• CDR supports Paris Agreement targets

KEY CHALLENGES AHEAD

As the CDR techniques grow, immediate foreseeable challenges include balancing CDR with emissions reduction, ensuring sustainable large-scale deployment, and navigating geopolitical implications.
