„Summary:

• Carbon removal credits generated by techniques like biochar, DAC and enhanced rock weathering
• Proponents say CDR focuses on 10% of hard-to-abate emissions, not as substitute for cutting 90%
• Puro.earth standard for CDR stipulates carbon only removed when stabilised and stored ‚durably‘
• Fewer than 110,000 tons of carbon so far delivered through CDR, but sales of credits are 437% higher
• Brand-backed coalition Frontier to accelerate early investment in high-potential removal projects“
