Goal 2. Development of Carbon Removal and Blue Carbon Technologies
Problem
Lack of large-scale technologies for carbon removal and marine ecosystem restoration.
Relevant SDGs:
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.
SDG 13: Climate Action.
SDG 14: Life Below Water.
KPIs:
Launch Research Development and Demonstration for Marine-based carbon dioxide removal:
Increase the volume of carbon removed using natural and technological solutions by CO2e 1 M tons annually by 2030.
