We’re helping Canada remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Carbon Removal Canada is an independent policy initiative focused on the rapid and responsible scale-up of carbon removal solutions needed to meet Canada’s climate goals by 2050.
What is carbon removal?
Carbon removal is the process of removing CO2 already in the atmosphere and storing it for centuries or longer. International climate experts agree that carbon removal is needed in addition to deep emissions reductions across the economy.

Discover the critical role of procurement in responsible carbon removal
Learn how public and private purchasing decisions can drive demand and shape the future of the carbon removal market.
For Canada to achieve net-zero and meet global temperature targets, we need carbon removal solutions. Here’s how we’re contributing.
Reducing emissions and conventional carbon removal methods, such as planting trees, are important – but don’t go far enough. We’re catalyzing carbon removal scale-up in Canada by advocating for policies that position Canada for global leadership and help meet international climate targets.
Delivering critical research needed to scale carbon removal
By leveraging our expertise and engaging the carbon removal community, we ensure that our independent research and analysis are responsive to the needs of stakeholders by addressing the most pressing issues in carbon removal.
Informing carbon removal policy
We engage with policymakers and other stakeholders to shape Canadian policies that create demand, increase supply, and enhance the integrity of carbon removal solutions.
Advancing responsible carbon removal solutions
We advocate for technology and methods that safely and effectively clean up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while prioritizing community and social equity.
