Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is often treated as a simple balancing act: take as much CO2 out of the air as we put in, and the climate will stabilize. But beyond carbon accounting, CDR affects the climate system in other, less-understood ways. Those impacts matter for policymakers, investors, and developers deciding how and whether to scale these technologies.

In this webinar, Kirsten Zickfeld and Isabel Dove from Simon Fraser University will share the latest science on how CDR influences the carbon cycle and global temperatures. They will also explore potential non-carbon impacts of large-scale deployment, such as land-use competition and fertilizer use.

This event is part of the CanCO2Re webinar series, which brings together experts from across disciplines to advance Canada’s understanding of carbon dioxide removal.
