Removing #carbon from the atmosphere is only the beginning. What happens to the carbon after it is removed is just as important. Figure 7.5 from #StateOfCDR 3rd Edition traces carbon from capture to storage & where CO₂ can be re-released. www.stateofcdr.org/report/3rd-e...

Novel #CDR is a small share of today's #CDR, but there are signs of growth: 1. CDR accounts for 2.6% of all climate-tech funding 2. Novel CDR has been growing at 40% per year 3. CDR literature increased by 15% per year on average between '22 & '25. Read the full report: tinyurl.com/mr45uumc

Sometimes #CarbonRemoval can look like a building - the Senedd building in Cardiff Bay. When trees grow they absorb CO₂ & store it in their biomass. If that wood is then used in long-lived products, like buildings, beams or furniture #carbon can remain locked away for decades, even centuries.

G20在二氧化碳移除方面作出了哪些承诺？尽管其国土面积约占全球60%、GDP占全球85%，但G20承诺到2030年实现的额外二氧化碳移除量仅为每年2.14至2.65亿吨，而目前全球的移除水平约为每年20亿吨。仅有8个成员国提供了明确数据。多数国家依赖土地利用措施。仅英国明确了新型二氧化碳移除措施的相关贡献。报告链接：https://www.stateofcdr.org/insight-report-1

#CDR has a range of distinct methods. #StateOfCDR Ed2, Fig 1.4 shows how CDR approaches differ in capture, readiness, mitigation, storage pool & timescales. Some more mature today storing #carbon over short periods while others are early-stage having long storage timescales. tinyurl.com/SoCDR

Novel CDR credits like biochar, BECCS & DAC saw major growth in 2023. But across all methods, sold credits still far outpace delivery. A snapshot from #StateOfCDR, edition 2 shows where the voluntary carbon market is heading. Explore more in Chapter 4: www.stateofcdr.org/edition-2-re...

Bar charts comparing conventional and novel carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits in the voluntary carbon market (VCM) for 2022 and 2023. The top half shows conventional CDR (e.g. afforestation, soil carbon, forest management), with many more credits issued and sold than delivered. The bottom half shows novel CDR (e.g. BECCS, DACCS, biochar), with a clear increase in credits sold in 2023, especially for BECCS and DACCS. Across both categories, the number of credits sold exceeds credits delivered, highlighting a delivery gap in the market.

🌍 Curious about the state of carbon dioxide removal? This snapshot from the State of CDR, Edition 2 highlights key data on deployment, innovation, carbon markets & climate scenarios, offering a consistent, independent view of where things stand.

Infographic titled "Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), A Global Snapshot" from the State of Carbon Dioxide Removal – 2nd Edition.

It shows four key areas:

1. Current CDR Levels (2013–2022 average):

• ~2,200 MtCO₂/year removed
• 99% from conventional methods (forests, land use)
• <0.1% from novel methods (engineered & hybrid)

2. Scientific and Innovation Activity:

• 27,000+ scientific publications since 2000
• 3,800+ research grants awarded
• 14% yearly increase in R&D grants

3. Voluntary CDR Credit Trends:

• Novel CDR credit sales increased in 2023
• Delivery still lags behind purchases
• Most credits are from conventional methods

4. Paris-Consistent Pathways:
• Many scenarios show 7–9 GtCO₂/year of CDR needed by 2050
• Alongside 39–43 GtCO₂e in emissions reductions
• Assumptions vary by energy use, technology, and mitigation strategies

How much CO₂ is being removed today? About 2 GtCO₂/yr, mostly from land-based methods like forests. Novel methods like DACCS & rock weathering are small for now. See where CDR stands in Chapter 7 of #StateOfCDR Ed. 2: www.stateofcdr.org/edition-2-re...

The State of Carbon Dioxide Removal @stateofcdr.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

In 2020–21 the world removed about 2.1 GtCO₂, mostly from conventional methods. To stay on track for 1.5°C, up to 9.8 GtCO₂/year by 2050 is needed. This chart from The State of CDR Edition 2 shows the gap between what’s proposed and what’s needed.
