Recurring wildfires, unprecedented flooding, persistent droughts. Communities everywhere are experiencing the harmful effects of climate change and more frequent extreme weather events. The science is clear — to stay on a path to net zero, we need an urgent global response. That means rapidly reducing carbon pollution and deploying carbon dioxide removal at scale. Carbon Dioxide Removal, or CDR, can help address emissions from the hardest to decarbonize sectors and eventually remove the legacy emissions already warming our planet and affecting our health. CDR includes technological approaches like Direct Air Capture with Durable Storage: Separating C02 from ambient air and then storing the C02 deep underground in geological reservoirs or in products like concrete. CDR can also be achieved through nature-based approaches like Soil Carbon Sequestration. This involves managing land so that soils absorb and hold more carbon. Minimizing soil tilling is one way to do this, or planting carbon sequestering cover crops between harvests. But as an emerging field, CDR approaches still require significant research, development, and demonstration to ensure C02 removal can be deployed responsibly, effectively, and affordably to meet national and global net zero goals in the coming decades.
