The first neutral, global and independent scientific assessment of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR).

Who we are

What we do

Track the global state of carbon dioxide removal (CDR)
We collect and analyze data to understand where, how, and how much carbon is being removed.

Produce accessible & independent, science-based insights
Through accessible reports and expert collaboration, we make complex research useful for policy and action.

Support informed decisions on climate solutions
Our work guides policymakers, researchers, and the public in shaping the future of CDR.

Explore The State of Carbon Dioxide Removal

Nearly 2.1 billion tonnes of CO₂ are already being removed annually, but less than 0.1% comes from novel methods like direct air capture. Scaling up CDR is essential to meet climate goals.

An open-access portal to the key indicators of CDR development.  

Dive deeper into the numbers behind carbon removal.

  • “This report provides important insights to the novice and CDR enthusiast alike, who want to understand where CDR stands today and what challenges need to be addressed to scale the industry.”

    Jennifer Wilcox, Presidential Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering and Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania
