Explaining durable cdr

What is carbon dioxide removal?

Carbon Dioxide Removal encompasses innovative methods to capture CO₂ directly from the atmosphere and store it securely—whether in underground reservoirs, minerals, oceans, or even products like concrete. Our white paper focuses on highly durable or breakthrough CDR techniques, excluding nature-based solutions such as reforestation, where the carbon stored has a high risk of reversal. Instead, we focus on strategies that lock away carbon for millennia, offering a truly permanent solution.

Securing Net-Zero with CDR

Why should companies invest in CDR now?

While cutting emissions should always come first, the hard truth is that fully eliminating all emissions (across Scopes 1-3) is a daunting task—perhaps impossible for most companies in the near term. To genuinely reach net-zero emissions, companies must balance their remaining greenhouse gas emissions with the carbon they can durably remove from the atmosphere.

Given the challenges of completely reducing emissions, reaching net-zero without CDR is simply out of reach in the short to medium term. That’s why CDR is not just an option; it’s a necessity. It helps companies bridge the gap between the emissions they can’t yet eliminate and their net-zero targets.
