Our very own Secretary-General Chris Sherwood spoke in a panel at Carbon Gap's The State of Carbon Dioxide Removal in the European Union event on the second edition of the 'State of CDR' report. Speaking on the need for a portfolio approach when it comes to carbon removals, the NEP Secretary-General says, 'We need every country in the world to be looking in a very detailed manner at what their potential is to developing carbon removals locally'. Given the diversity of carbon removal methods that exist, there is something for everyone.

🌍 Last week, the Austrian Federal Climate Ministry and Federal Finance Ministry unveiled its national Carbon Management Strategy, reinforcing its position as a European leader in the Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) sector.   The strategy includes several key action points: ➡ Assessing the potential of various permanent removal technologies to generate negative emissions within Austria; ➡ Setting up CDR targets; ➡ Lifting the ban on geological storage; ➡ Evaluating and optimising the use of existing and future financing tools to support the CDR sector.   We congratulate the Austrian ministries on this significant step forward and call on other European countries to develop their own national strategies to support the necessary deployment of permanent CDR 🌱🇦🇹   You can find the Strategy and the accompanying evaluation report on CO2 storage here: bit.ly/3RQ5Dl4
