@CarbonGap: Yesterday we brought together leading experts, civil society, industry representatives and EU policymakers to discuss the role of carbon removal in delivering on the European Green Deal during a closed-door workshop.
The workshop provided an opportunity for Carbon Gap and the co-organiser PIK to set out their different perspectives on how to best integrate CDR into EU mitigation efforts, with discussions focusing on 3 main questions:
🎯 What should be the goals and conditions of integrating carbon removal into an EU compliance mechanism such as the EU ETS?
🔧 What additional tools would need to be applied to account for overshoot and net-negative targets for 2050?
🏦 What advantage would an EU Carbon Central Bank have compared to other institutions in accounting for CDR credits?
Throughout the session, there was broad consensus around the need for a coherent EU policy framework to support the deployment and scale-up of carbon removal in the years to come. There were divergent views amongst the co-organisers and the participants regarding exactly what role CDR should play in the future, shaping the preferred policy pathway moving forward.
We will continue driving discussions forward, with key issues and next steps to be set out in a forthcoming unattributed summary of the session.
We would like to thank
@PIK_Climate for co-organising the event, as well as all the participants who helped make the meeting a success.
