Understand the Basics

There are multiple ways to remove and store CO₂ from the atmosphere — commonly referred to as CDR methods. Each method relies on a different removal mechanism and stores carbon in different forms and for different lengths of time. These differences are captured through a set of CDR characteristics, such as durability, risks of reversal, and measurability.

This section outlines the core CDR characteristics and provides an overview of the main CDR methods, as well as the MRV process that ensures integrity.
