Greenhouse gas removal

This cohort is working toward the Accelerator's target for greenhouse gas removal. The ambition, or "flagship destination," is to remove gigatons of carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide equivalents from the atmosphere per year by mid-century through an integrated approach that supports the development of needed technological, governance, financial, and other societal innovations.

To prevent global warming above 1.5 degrees as outlined in the Paris Agreement, we not only need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we need to proactively remove carbon from the atmosphere. Reaching this goal will require experts in policy, technology, nature-based solutions, and other areas working together globally.

Projects

Projects in the greenhouse gas removal cohort span terrestrial, oceanic, direct GHG-removal, and monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV). The projects are high-risk/high-reward with a range of readiness from scoping to scale-up advancement. The projects embrace innovation and novel technologies for GHG-removal at the gigaton scale.
