These projects aim to drive down costs and scale up carbon dioxide removal by facilitating cross-learning, proving emerging technologies, reducing technical risk, and showcasing community engagement and co-benefits like water production and pollutant removal. For more details, read the key takeaways in the brochure and the full-length report.
The Carbon Dioxide Removal Launchpad currently focuses on three technological carbon dioxide removal pathways: 1) biomass with carbon removal and storage, 2) direct air capture with storage, and 3) enhanced mineralisation. As these carbon dioxide removal pathways advance, this portfolio could expand to include additional approaches to carbon removal.
Launchpad members, led by Japan, are developing a global assessment of national CDR policies and measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) programs to harmonise methods and define high-quality removals, supporting cross-border removal credit markets.
The CDR Mission will be co-hosting an upcoming global CDR Conference, as part of the biannual CLIMIT Summit in Norway, February 2025. Registration is open here.
