Webinar overview:

The fledgling carbon removals sector is evolving fast, with a wide range of different solutions deployed, major deals signed, and policy frameworks taking shape.

But the momentum building across the sector brings with it questions over how to deliver high integrity projects, how to ensure sufficient capacity, and how carbon removals can be integrated into credible corporate climate strategies.

This exclusive BusinessGreen webinar, hosted in association with waste to energy provider enfinium, will provide an invaluable guide to the current state of play in the carbon removal sector, the different solutions on offer, and upcoming policy changes, as well as the pros and cons associated with the use of carbon removal credits.

The expert panel will explore:

The potential role of carbon removals in meeting both national and corporate net zero targets.
The various carbon removal solutions on offer.
The debate over how carbon removals could count towards emissions targets and how to ensure projects do not distract from the need to cut emissions at source.
How standards could help ensure projects deliver promised carbon removals.
Potential changes to guidance on corporate net zero targets.
The government’s new review of greenhouse gas removals and recent policy developments.

The interactive webinar will also feature a Q&A session and a review of how the panellists think the sector will develop over the coming years.
