Carbon Gap urges EU to develop marine carbon removal roadmap by 2027
Carbon Gap has called on the European Commission to establish a roadmap for novel marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) methods, including Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement and Direct Ocean Capture, by the end of 2027. The organisation argues that while uncertainties remain, inaction risks delaying crucial innovation and Europe losing its leadership in the field. The proposed roadmap would involve a dedicated body to guide research, a shared research agenda, integration into ocean governance, and a clear process for evidence-based policy, including 'mock certification' exercises. This initiative aims to coordinate research efforts and progressively integrate mCDR into EU regulations, using the Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming Regulation framework as a guide.
