💡 Great to see this new report shed some light on the links between CDR and CITIES 🏙️ There is massive potential to implement CDR at the city-level, especially when it comes to waste management and BECCS. In Amsterdam, up to 25% of the city's emissions could be removed with bio-CCS ONLY! As waste management facilities are often municipally-owned, this is a highly-replicable, low-hanging fruit for cities to generate negative emissions. CDR offers cities a way to actively mitigate emissions of CO2 causing global warming, achieve net-zero goals and eventually reduce the absolute concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, while generating a myriad of co-benefits. The report distinguishes various roles that cities can take to advance CDR: strategizer, regulator, service provider, innovator, funder and convenor. It also presents which policy instruments are most needed by CDR project developers to advance their solutions. ➡️ Full report here: https://lnkd.in/g54j6Utr #CarbonRemoval #CDR #NegativeEmissions #BECCS #BioCCS #CityCDR #NetZero #NetZeroCities #ClimateAction
Cities are emerging as crucial players and agents of change in scaling carbon dioxide removals (CDRs). Partnering with XPRIZE and Global Carbon Removal Partnership, we are proud to have played our part in a groundbreaking report on 'City CDR', with the support of C40 Cities, and Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM). The report highlights opportunities and challenges and offers pathways for cities to integrate carbon removal to help achieve net-zero goals.
