Carbon Removal: Implications for Climate Policy

Send us a text

We are excited to bring you a special live taping of Energy vs Climate  from November 22, 2023 at the Ampersand in Calgary. 

Energy vs Carbon Removal is a dive deep into this still relatively new climate mitigation pathway. The IPCC and other bodies increasingly view Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) as a critical tool to reduce CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere and bring warming back down to 1.5C by century’s end. 

It seems like new carbon removal start-ups are springing up weekly. But the barriers to commercializing CDR tech remain daunting. Will CDR live up to its hype or fail to launch?

EvC partnered with carbonNEXT’s series Carbon Talks for this live show.
