Bar charts comparing conventional and novel carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits in the voluntary carbon market (VCM) for 2022 and 2023. The top half shows conventional CDR (e.g. afforestation, soil carbon, forest management), with many more credits issued and sold than delivered. The bottom half shows novel CDR (e.g. BECCS, DACCS, biochar), with a clear increase in credits sold in 2023, especially for BECCS and DACCS. Across both categories, the number of credits sold exceeds credits delivered, highlighting a delivery gap in the market.

Novel CDR credits like biochar, BECCS & DAC saw major growth in 2023. But across all methods, sold credits still far outpace delivery. A snapshot from #StateOfCDR, edition 2 shows where the voluntary carbon market is heading. Explore more in Chapter 4: www.stateofcdr.org/edition-2-re...

4️⃣ Innovation spans research, scaling & policy
5️⃣ Without tracking, we risk overestimating progress

🌍 CDR is in every climate plan, but do we really understand it?

Chapter 1 of the State of CDR (Edition 2) breaks it down:

1️⃣ Emissions cuts aren’t enough—we need CDR too
2️⃣ Only human interventions that lead to durable storage of CO₂ from the air count
3️⃣ Methods range from forests to tech

Infographic titled "Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), A Global Snapshot" from the State of Carbon Dioxide Removal – 2nd Edition. It shows four key areas: 1. Current CDR Levels (2013–2022 average): • ~2,200 MtCO₂/year removed • 99% from conventional methods (forests, land use) • <0.1% from novel methods (engineered & hybrid) 2. Scientific and Innovation Activity: • 27,000+ scientific publications since 2000 • 3,800+ research grants awarded • 14% yearly increase in R&D grants 3. Voluntary CDR Credit Trends: • Novel CDR credit sales increased in 2023 • Delivery still lags behind purchases • Most credits are from conventional methods 4. Paris-Consistent Pathways: • Many scenarios show 7–9 GtCO₂/year of CDR needed by 2050 • Alongside 39–43 GtCO₂e in emissions reductions • Assumptions vary by energy use, technology, and mitigation strategies Infographic source: State of Carbon Dioxide Removal – 2nd Edition

How much CO₂ is being removed today?
About 2 GtCO₂/yr, mostly from land-based methods like forests. Novel methods like DACCS & rock weathering are small for now. See where CDR stands in Chapter 7 of #StateOfCDR Ed. 2: www.stateofcdr.org/edition-2-re...

The @thecccuk.bsky.social's Seventh Carbon Budget draws on data from SoCDR 2024 to assess how carbon removal is scaling—what’s ready, what’s emerging, and what still needs support. #CDR #SoCDR #NetZeroUK #ClimatePolicy #GGR

What’s the biggest barrier you see to scaling CDR, tech, policy, or public support?

In 2020–21 the world removed about 2.1 GtCO₂, mostly from conventional methods. To stay on track for 1.5°C, up to 9.8 GtCO₂/year by 2050 is needed. This chart from The State of CDR Edition 2 shows the gap between what’s proposed and what’s needed.

To stop climate change, we need Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) & emissions cuts. But CDR is just getting started & data gaps are holding it back. The #StateOfCDR offers accessible evidence-based insights to help decision-makers track progress.

Explore the data. Follow the evidence.
