An estimated ** metric tons of carbon dioxide (GtCOâ‚‚) will need to be removed from the atmosphere every year by mid-century if the world is meet its climate goals. This total almost doubles by the end of the century. Currently, only around *** GtCOâ‚‚ is removed annually, the majority which is from conventional CDR methods on land. In comparison, novel CDR methods, such as BECCS and Biochar, remove less than *** ²Ñ³Ù°ä°¿â‚‚.
