DG CLIMA is exploring the design of an EU-wide purchasing programme for permanent CDR to encourage investment, boost technological progress and help meet EU climate targets.
To achieve climate neutrality and move towards net-negative emissions, Europe must rapidly scale up permanent carbon dioxide removals (CDR). However, there is still not enough demand, which remains a key barrier for large-scale deployment of these technologies. To address this gap, DG CLIMA is exploring the design of an EU-wide purchasing programme for permanent CDR to encourage investment, boost technological progress and help meet EU climate targets.
