Carbon removal, also known as carbon dioxide removal (CDR), refers to the process of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and securely storing it in e.g., geological, terrestrial, or ocean reservoirs, or using it in products. This process is essential for mitigating climate change by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
-
Carbon removal is important because it can help counterbalance the emissions that cannot be eliminated. It can be a vital component of strategies to achieve net-zero emissions, as outlined in the Paris Agreement, to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius.
-
Purchasing certified carbon removal credits can ensure that the carbon removal is real, measurable, and verifiable. Certification helps build trust among stakeholders, including investors, policymakers, and the public, and ensures that the environmental claims made by companies are backed by credible evidence. It also promotes transparency and accountability in the carbon removal market.
