The IDAA poses a key opportunity for scaling carbon removal and building the key climate industry to reach climate goals

Evaluating the Innovation Fund: The EU Innovation Fund is one of Europe’s biggest climate funding mechanisms, yet it risks missing the mark when it comes to carbon dioxide removal

63 organisations call on the EU to maintain a climate spending target in the next budget, ensuring sustained investment in clean technologies and Europe’s net-zero transition.

In the name of political flexibility, the proposed European Climate Law leaves a critical question unanswered: How much must come from actual emissions cuts, permanent carbon removals, and land-based sinks?

We model three scenarios of how separate targets for CDR and emissions reductions can scale and develop.

Explore how integrating carbon removal into the EU ETS can drive demand for CDR while maintaining climate integrity through strong rules, targets, and compliance mechanisms.

How the UK can lead in greenhouse gas removals (GGR) — unlocking investment, jobs, and net-zero growth through innovation, procurement, and the ETS.

By prolonging uncertainty on corporate climate claims, a lack of agreement would also negatively impact the scale-up of the European carbon dioxide removal (CDR) sector in the short term, given its strong reliance on purchases from the voluntary carbon market (VCM).

The UK has driven forward promising policies on CDR to date, and these announcements set the tone for how momentum might be sustained over the next few years. Carbon Gap will soon publish recommendations for future CDR policymaking in the UK, and we will be closely analysing the implications of further for CDR over the coming weeks.
