State of the Science 

More than a decade’s worth of research finds that °¬¿ÉÖ±²¥dioxide removal (CDR), which is removing °¬¿ÉÖ±²¥pollution from the atmosphere and safely storing it, will be necessary to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. The Institute for Carbon Responsible Removal has created a Science Primer on the state of CDR science along with a summary.Ìý
