Join us for a discussion on carbon removal that welcomes champions and skeptics alike to explore the entire portfolio of approaches, from direct air capture to soil carbon sequestration.
Over the last several years, carbon removal has gone from a little-known solution to a core component of US climate policy. Congress, corporate players, and now the Biden administration have taken bold action to support the funding, development, and deployment of carbon removal solutions. But larger discussions are ongoing about how to scale these pathways, where RD&D must still fill in gaps, and how to ensure carbon removal supports communities.
/PRNewswire/ Humanity is falling short of its climate goals. More investment is urgently needed especially in the next decade to transition to a low-carbon.

EIT Climate-KIC supported Climeworks, a carbon capture technology, is now part of Microsoft’s carbon removal portfolio and its plan to reach negative emissions by 2030 and remove its historic emissions by 2050.
Humans have increased atmospheric CO2 concentration by over a third since the Industrial Revolution began. These emissions have already increased global temperatures by around 1°C since pre-industrial times. According to the IPCC’s Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C: “Global net human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) would need to fall by about 45 per cent from 2010 levels by 2030, reaching net-zero around 2050. This means that any remaining emissions would need to be balanced by removing CO2 from the air.”
