The need for radical transparency in carbon dioxide removal
Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies, alongside rapid and deep emissions reductions, are critical to prevent dangerous climate change. However, as the CDR market scales, the safety, integrity and efficacy of these interventions are paramount. A fundamental challenge lies in establishing robust and credible monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) frameworks that inspire widespread trust among all stakeholders, from policymakers and investors to the public and scientific community. This is especially true for enhanced rock weathering (ERW), a complex open-system pathway with many remaining open research questions. This necessitates a radical shift towards comprehensive data transparency and shared learnings to advance the … Read more
