What you'll learn

For carbon dioxide removal’s (CDR) first pavilion presence at COP, we hosted an interactive virtual workshop to discuss:

"What will it take for CDR to be recognised and integrated as a mainstream climate mitigation tactic?"

Carbon removal is essential yet widely misunderstood, despite growing presence on climate agendas.

We explored barriers to widespread CDR adoption with audience participation through ranked choice polls and open questions like:

  • What's your biggest question about CDR?
  • What's the main challenge to mainstreaming CDR — standards, transparency, market knowledge, or price?

Together, we created a practical toolkit addressing barriers, use-cases, and implementation strategies.

Get a deeper understanding of CDR as a negative emission tool and how to create or ensure a de-risked and resilient CDR strategy.
