Carbon dioxide removal (CDR)

« Back to Glossary Index

CDR covers anthropogenic activities that remove CO2 from the atmosphere before durably storing it in geological, terrestrial, or ocean reservoirs, or in products. It includes existing and potential anthropogenic enhancement of biological or geochemical sinks and direct air capture and storage, but excludes natural CO2 uptake not directly caused by human activities.
