KNOWLEDGE SUMMARY
Carbon dioxide removal
What are the opportunities of ocean-based methods? And how do we explore them?
All KNOWLEDGE SUMMARY fact sheets in one PDF
Fact sheets
The CDRmare factsheets on marine methods of CO2 removal and storage are available in two versions – a two-pager with the key messages summarized (KNOWLEDGE SUMMARIES), and an 8-pager with more (scientific) details (FACT SHEETS).
