The 2015 Paris Agreement established the global ambition to “achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the second half of this century”. This is more commonly referred to as “net zero GHG emissions”. To reach net zero targets, substantial gross emissions reductions of over 90% …
Ce manuel aborde une liste de concepts associés à la CDR et explore six NETP différentes : le biochar, la biomasse avec captage et stockage du carbone (Bio-CSC), le captage direct dans l’air avec stockage du carbone (DACCS), l’altération terrestre forcée, l’afforestation et la reforestation et la séquestration du carbone dans les sols.
Article 6 is a key priority of Azerbaijan’s COP29 presidency, putting high pressure on countries to come to an agreement at the upcoming climate summit. At the same time, the role that Article 6 carbon markets play in the wider context of achieving our Paris Agreement goals hinges on the quality of the agreement. This …

Not only does the Climate Law not mention the different roles of biogenic sequestration by natural sinks and permanent removals, but it also fails to determine how much or which type of removals should be used to reach the net-zero target by 2050, or how much residual emissions will be allowed at that point.
The EU needs a clear and comprehensive strategy that is mindful of the risks, challenges and opportunities of supporting the development and scale-up of a sufficient supply of permanent removals.
Leading figures from academia, civil society and industry have collaborated to create two proposals to clarify key carbon removals principles that should be integrated into the EU Climate Law and relevant climate policies
Reducing emissions must remain the priority for policymakers, and should not be conflated with safeguarding natural carbon sinks or the sustainable usage of permanent removals. Carbon removals policy expert Fabiola De Simone explains.
Maintaining the incentive to decarbonise should be the guiding principle of the UK ETS, ensuring covered emissions go to zero or near zero.
The first phase of Carbon Market Watch’s carbon removals co-creation process, “CO2ol Down”, is almost over. Fabiola De Simone explains how this cool project aims to heat up EU action on the bloc’s 2040 target and upcoming legislative process
