The IPCC estimates that 10 Gt of carbon removal is required annually by 2050 in order to meet climate mitigation targets. Today, we are at just 0.003 Gt, almost all of which is purchased through the voluntary carbon markets. In this annual report, Carbon Direct provides an in-depth look at the carbon credits available across the four largest registries, offering buyers insights into the availability of pure carbon dioxide removal and how to evaluate projects for quality.
