Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) techniques, or negative emission technologies (NETs), are a suite of natural and technological pathways to remove and sequester carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air. Unlike carbon capture and storage, these techniques remove CO₂ directly from the atmosphere or enhance natural carbon sinks.
The University's endowment will become greenhouse-gas neutral by 2050 by reducing and offsetting emissions with investment in technologies that remove carbon from the atmosphere.
AstraZeneca has pledged to have zero carbon emissions from operations by 2025 and ensure its entire value chain is carbon negative by 2030 with the use of a 50-million tree reforestation initiative that will be rolled out from 2020-2025.
Horizon Organic announced a commitment to become carbon positive by 2025 using regenerative agriculture, soil sequestration, restoring prairie lands and forestlands, and evaluating and pursuing new technology.
Starbucks has committed to being resource positive by storing more carbon than they emit through investments in regenerative agricultural practices, reforestation, forest conservation and water replenishment in their supply chain.
Apple has announced the creation of a carbon solutions fund to invest in forests and other nature-based solutions around the world to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
In this report, Carbon180 translates lessons learned on the ground from farmers and ranchers across the Rocky Mountains into a menu of federal policy recommendations.
This bill would add climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts to various existing federal programs as a priority focus and directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop a plan to meet soil carbon sequestration targets.
