This is an immensely rich document and a huge contribution. Please share, digest, and consider what you'd like to see in the next iteration! 🙏Thank you to the authors and contributors, and thank you for affording @CarbonGap the opportunity to support this crucial project. /end

📢The report suggests very low levels of overall public awareness. We need to help civil society engage with the critical questions: How CDR is deployed, how the extracted carbon is stored, and how reliance on CDR balances with the use of other climate solutions.

The report quantifies this removals gap against 3 Paris-relevant scenarios, with varying but directionally similar results: an increase on the order of multiple billions of tons/year. Which CDR methods (established, ready-for-scale, or nascent) will fill this gap as the #1?

⚖️How does 2.0 GtCO2/yr stack up with the amount of CDR required? That depends, of course, on how fast we eliminate emissions, which removals we use (accounting for their risk of reversal), and how certain we want to be of meeting our most stringent climate goals (50%≠likely)

📈Only <1% (0.002 GtCO2/yr) is delivered by nascent CDR methods, including those with highest-durability carbon storage. Many of these nascent methods - such as mineralisation, biochar, non-energy biomass carbon removal and storage - urgently need deployment incentives to scale

How much CDR is being delivered today? ~2.0 GtCO2/yr. ...>99% of which is through absorption of carbon into ecosystems and biomass. Halting ecosystem destruction, increasing biosphere carbon uptake and preventing carbon sink reversal is crucial in its own right.

🧵On report highlights: Limiting dependence on #carbonremoval to a minimum is crucial, achieving climate goals means prioritising rapid and unprecedented emission cuts. But, SoCDR confirms just how much CDR we will almost certainly need to meet Paris goals.

🚀The 1st edition of the #StateOfCDR report, launched today, is a milestone for climate – congratulations to all authors and institutions involved! https://t.co/7DJISQOAPA Some thoughts from @backto300 and me on closing the #carbonremoval gap here: https://t.co/itRpdY6UEf

Pleased to see how the EU frames the uses of their carbon removal certificates, including a big role for PUBLIC funding (e.g. directed agricultural subsidies), rather than a sole focus on offsetting fossil fuel emissions (which only "permanent removals" are appropriate for).

The EU's proposed "Carbon Removal Certification Framework" is live, we're reviewing now with reactions to come: https://t.co/L9bhJWLh7z Timmermans & co describing the proposal live here:

The EU's carbon removal certification plans go live today at 14:45 CET! Stay tuned for @CarbonGap's response thereafter.

I'm delighted to have been invited by the PM to conduct a review into meeting our Net Zero commitments in the most economically-efficient way. I'm committed to ensuring we continue to lead the world in our Net Zero plans in a way that is pro-business and pro-growth 1/2

I have been agitating for "peak farm" (over peak oil) as a more useful environmental focal point for a while ( https://t.co/wyQZapEXD4). Thrilled to see @_HannahRitchie & @OurWorldInData do this analysis justice, wow! Best way to free up land for nature? Nix animal products!

For millennia, humans have used more and more land for agriculture, taking over wild habitats. But, we are at a unique point in history: agricultural land use has peaked. My latest article: https://t.co/2zWVptZ3Gj

Making the @IEA's global data on energy open access is a no brainer for climate change (see https://t.co/1WUqeVde3J by @_HannahRitchie & @MaxCRoser) but needs member states to ask it do so. In UK, tell Greg Hands enquiries@beis.gov.uk you support this, example emails at that link

Here's another excellent breakdown of carbon removal's role in the new IPCC report - crystal clarity from @EveTamme as usual :-)

Carbon credits are not offsets. It sounds obvious, but to many, both critics of offsetting, and supporters of carbon credits, I don't think it is. See this new article by me and @EliMLarson in @illuminemNews

Carbon removal plays a big role in latest @IPCC_CH report. How will Europe regulate? Join our discussion tomorrow! @EveTamme | Fabien Ramos (@EUClimateAction) | @markprstn | @CarbonGap speaking | @airminers & @Bellona_EU hosting! Info & sign-ups here:

A new proposal seeks to do just this: redefine climate action at the UNFCCC level into 3 such distinct pillars REDUCE. REMOVE. ADAPT. Please share your thoughts, & if you want to help make this happen tag @deankhagram, @RethinkRemovals, & @CarbonGap to stay apprised 20/x
