Introduction to CDR
-
What is CDR?
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) are processes that take CO₂ out of the air and store it safely for a long time, helping to address climate change.
-
Why is CDR Necessary?
The global average temperature of the planet is strongly affected by the amount of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, we’ve emitted into the atmosphere over the last century or so.
-
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) vs carbon capture and storage (CCS)
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and carbon capture and storage (CCS) both aim to reduce climate change by storing CO₂, but they work differently.
-
Carbon Budget
Climate scientists have found a clear link between the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) humans have released since the industrial revolution and rising global temperatures.
-
Historical Carbon Emissions
Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have released over 1.5 trillion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere.
