Carbon removal tech must scale 1,000-fold to reach climate goals, finds report

Many of Europe’s net-zero plans depend on large-scale carbon removal, but most of the required technology remains in its infancy. And a recent study highlights the scale of the challenge facing policymakers and innovators alike.

By 2050, the UK alone is planning to deliver 60-70 times more engineered carbon removals annually than the entire world currently achieves combined.

That poses a massive challenge – but also a huge growth opportunity for carbon removal startups.
