Carbon Dioxide Removal Trend 2026

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) encompasses methods that extract CO₂ directly from the atmosphere, locking it away in plants, oceans, or geological reservoirs. These techniques, from enhanced weathering to direct air capture, help counterbalance hard-to-eliminate emissions. Governments, corporations pursuing net-zero targets, and communities facing climate impacts benefit from CDR's capacity to mitigate warming and stabilize the climate.
