To limit climate change, reducing our greenhouse gas emissions has to be the top priority. However, to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045, we need additional methods that permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But is CDR really feasible, effective and sensible? The BMFTR research program CDRterra investigates the realistic potential of land-based CO₂ removal methods.

In the second phase of CDRterra, 17 research consortia across Germany are working together to investigate land-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) approaches. Their research explores how these approaches work, under which conditions they could be deployed, and what impacts they may have.
The synthesis project CDRSynTra2 brings together results from the consortia and connects them with the research mission CDRmare, which focuses on marine CDR approaches. Its goal is to enable a comparable assessment of the potentials, risks and requirements of different approaches.

How can Germany achieve greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045? And what role could removing CO₂ from the atmosphere play in this effort? The CDRterra research programme examines political, ecological, technical, economic and societal questions related to carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Across two research phases, land-based CDR approaches are studied in a comparative way to better understand their potentials, risks and prerequisites for possible climate mitigation pathways.
