About Carbon Removal Canada
Carbon Removal Canada is an independent policy initiative focused on the rapid + responsible scale-up of carbon removal solutions needed to meet Canada’s climate goals and help catalyze a net-negative emissions world this century.
Carbon removal is an essential tool in the clean energy transition and must be used in addition to – and not in place of – reducing emissions. Even if society reaches net zero by 2050, there will still be a need to pull billions of tonnes of CO2 out of the atmosphere to keep the world aligned with global temperature targets. Carbon removal is our only tool to remove this planet-warming greenhouse gas.

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 carbon removal.
