This roadmap was developed by RMI in collaboration with The Bezos Earth Fund. It describes an action-oriented perspective of what is needed to rapidly scale technological greenhouse gas removal (GHGR).
To do this, the roadmap sets ambitious goals for both carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and non-CO2 greenhouse gas removal.
- CDR: Reach 10 Gt CO2/y of durable technological removals by 2050.
- Non-CO2 GHGR: Advance the science of non-CO2 removal such that decisions can be made by the early 2030s about future development and deployment.
Accomplishing these goals will require buy-in, commitments, and execution from actors across the GHGR ecosystem. The roadmap is intended to be used as a tool for aligning actions and investments across sectors and stakeholders, including government actors at all levels, funders, GHGR communities, industry, researchers, journalists and media, and nonprofits and civil society organizations.
