World Must Remove 1 Billion Tonnes Carbon Dioxide By 2025 To Meet Climate Goal: Report World Must Remove 1 Billion Tonnes Carbon Dioxide By 2025 To Meet Climate Goal: Report More than 190 countries have signed the Paris agreement designed to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, but even with pledges of big reductions in emissions many scientists believe removal technologies will be needed to meet the goal.
The current projects in development could remove only around 150 million tonnes of CO2 by 2025.
London:
Projects in development will remove only a fraction of the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air that needs extracting by 2025 to meet the global Paris climate target and avert catastrophic warming, a report said on Wednesday.

Current levels of investment in negative emissions technology fall far short of levels required to cap temperature rise in line with Paris goals, new coalition warns
Leading UK businesses, trade associations, and investors have teamed up to issue a call for a rapid roll-out of negative emissions solutions, warning that global climate goals are being jeapordised by low levels of investment in projects that could suck greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
The new Coalition for Negative Emissions, which includes direct air capture technology firms Climeworks and Carbon Engineering, trade bodies the NFU and EnergyUK, energy giant Drax and business group CBI, has today warned current investment in so-called negative emissions solutions must increase 30-fold if the world is to move onto a trajectory that would meet the Paris Agreement s more stretc

LONDON (Reuters) â Projects in development will remove only a fraction of the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air that needs extracting by 2025 to meet the global Paris climate target and avert catastrophic warming, a report said on Wednesday.
More than 190 countries have signed the Paris agreement designed to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, but even with pledges of big reductions in emissions many scientists believe removal technologies will be needed to meet the goal.
âWithout action to deliver 1 Gigatonne (Gt) of negative emissions globally by 2025, keeping global warming within the Paris Agreement target of 1.5°C cannot be achieved,â said the report by the Coalition for Negative Emissions (CNE), and consultancy firm McKinsey.
