How do we measure carbon dioxide removal?

29 Mar 202521 Jun 2024 by InPlanet Team

Quantifying Carbon Dioxide Removal Through Enhanced Weathering: A manuscript Enhanced weathering (EW) is emerging as an exciting new carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technique. Enhanced weathering is scalable now and has a staggering potential to remove gigatonnes of CO2 annually. However, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of CDR with EW – how we measure its effectiveness – is widely viewed as the biggest barrier to scaling of the technique. Robust MRV is crucial to the widespread operationalization of EW. Ultimately, trust in the EW industry depends on these three letters. To bring greater transparency to the topic, InPlanet’s research team has … Read more
