Research and publications

We bring leading climate researchers to provide a foresight led, cross disciplinary approach to screening, developing and commercialising carbon removal solutions.

Our members, partners and collaborators draw on decades of research and experience across biology, ocean, atmospheric and earth sciences, marine, policy, economics, social sciences, and law.
