Webinar: Scrubbing the Skies – Developing a Market for Carbon Removal Offsets That is Fit-for-Purpose
January 30, 9 – 10 pm CET, hosted by the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy
Philip Boyd from the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, will make the case that offset markets must be fundamentally redesigned. This requires a focus on removal offsets, and specifically a market that is both simple in terms of facilitating transactions, but also flexible enough to accommodate a wide range of technologies that vary widely in the duration, safety, and verifiability of CDR. This webinar will also advocate for a change of metrics from ‘carbon ton’ to ‘carbon ton year’ to provide both the requisite simplicity that markets need, and the flexibility to incorporate the diversity of CDR characteristics.
