Achieving 1.5 degrees means removing billion of tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
We’re here to help make that possible.
Achieving Paris agreement temperature goals requires removing billions of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere. This is because we will spend more than our remaining carbon budget – so we have to pay some back.
There are many Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs) that could harness and accelerate natural cycles to remove and reliably store carbon at the scale needed. None are close to the scale needed yet. Most are still at R&D stage and decades away from scale deployment if we don’t act to accelerate their development.
A good idea and its supporting technology only get us part of the way. Wide scale commercial deployment and adoption in the real-world needs sustainable business models, supporting markets and regulatory frameworks, supply chains and infrastructure, broad community and environmental support, and a skilled workforce to implement and run it. With this multidisciplinary approach we can quickly drive a technology down the cost curve to achieve significant positive impact in the billion of tonnes of carbon removed.
