C-SINK_Actions required to secure the large-scale deployment of the leading CDR approaches to meet EU climate targets

Convocatoria/Call: HORIZON-CL5-2022-D1-01-two-stag

01/06/23 – 31/05/2027

https://c-sinkproject.eu/
The technological potential of CDR solutions to limit global warming and achieve net negative greenhouse gas emissions is now recognised by the IPCC. However, there is currently a limited understanding of CDR and an absence of agreed high-quality standards on the technologies, creating barriers to their appropriate deployment in the EU. To overcome these barriers, the C-SINK project will establish robust MRV pre-standards and policy strategies based on a comprehensive evaluation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria relevant to CDR, facilitating the development of trustworthy accounting methodologies.
