Introduction to Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR)

This awareness-level eLearning course provides a basic understanding of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and its critical role in addressing climate change. Participants will explore who sets global climate targets and what those targets entail, while gaining insight into the importance of large-scale CDR in achieving them. The course clarifies key concepts such as ‘unavoidable emissions’ and distinguishes between CDR, Direct Air Capture (DAC), and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). Learners will also examine the current landscape of CDR technologies, understand the motivations behind government and corporate investments in carbon removal credits, and consider the challenges and limitations facing the deployment of these technologies.
