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 dioxide removal (CDR) is the process of removing CO2 already in the atmosphere and storing it for centuries or longer. International climate experts agree that CDR is needed in addition to deep emissions reductions across the economy.

The CDR sector is rapidly evolving. Here’s how Canada keeps up.

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.

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.

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.

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 CDR.
