Workshop: The U.S. DOE's New CO2 Removal Purchasing Challenge

ABOUT THIS EVENT

​In the next 10 years, CO2 Removal projects must move rapidly to full commercial scale to meet climate goals in coming decades. To accelerate this, the U.S. Department of Energy is launching a new program this month called the Voluntary CO2 Removal Purchasing Challenge. The program will call on other organizations, including municipalities of any size, to commit to purchasing small and growing quantities of high-quality, permanent CO2 Removal credits.

Chris Neidl, co-founder of OpenAir Collective and the 4 Corners Carbon Coalition, will explain how the program works, and discuss the potential avenues it opens up for action on the local level.
