CO2 removal is essential, along with emissions' cuts, to limit global warming - report

Nevertheless, the report insists, CDR is not a silver bullet and does not lessen the need for deep cuts to emissions. Our dependence on CDR can be limited by reducing emissions fast and using energy more efficiently, say the report authors. Carbon Dioxide Removal is no substitute for emissions reductions - but it must be scaled - report. Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR is not a substitute for emissions reductions, although it needs to be scaled up to achieve net zero. According to Oxford research published yesterday, more funding and support is needed if CDR is to achieve its potential.
