NOTABLE WEBSITES
1. CDR Industry Commitments
https://www.cdrindustrycommitments.org/
A great information resource on:
-
Overview of CDR, its role in climate action, policies, science behind CDR, MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) Certifications, and more

A list of Signatories
“The Negative Emissions Platform has developed a set of CDR industry commitments (“the Commitments”) that organizations in the carbon dioxide removal (CDR) space can sign up to. These address a range of aspects of CDR activity. They form a baseline for CDR industry behavior – which we expect to be a useful tool to aid the development of this very young but crucially important sector. This memorandum aims to explain the rationale for this initiative, including the value proposition and characteristics that are key to its success.”

“Carbon Gap is a philanthropy-funded non-profit organisation focusing on scaling up just and effective carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in the EU. Removing excess carbon from the atmosphere, along with rapidly reducing emissions, are essential to ensure a safer climate. We believe Europe has a unique opportunity to lead the deployment of carbon removal, as part of humanity’s toolbox to fight climate change. We guide European decision-makers with advice that is independent and science-based. We bridge knowledge, policy and ambition gaps so that carbon removal becomes a critical pillar of European climate action.”
