About the event
Biomass carbon removal, or CDR, can deliver gigaton-scale climate mitigation by pairing the power of photosynthesis with engineered technologies to store carbon for centuries or longer. Some examples of biomass CDR include bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, biochar, bio-oil, and biomass burial. Strong standards are key to ensuring market and climate integrity.
Join us for a panel discussion with CATF staff and academic colleagues. We will dive deep into the results of our new study evaluating the greenhouse gas accounting approaches used in biomass carbon removal protocols that certify carbon removal credits in carbon markets. In May 2025, CATF convened leading experts to score approaches that 25 protocols take to three core components of biomass CDR systems: biomass production, bioconversion, and carbon storage, and also features that apply across the whole process.
