The Netherlands Scientific Climate Council (WKR) was asked when and under what conditions temporary carbon dioxide removal (CDR) can be used responsibly to meet the climate goals of the Paris Agreement.

The key question addressed in this report is: For which climate goals of the Paris Agreement and under which conditions can temporary CDR be used responsibly? That question is answered below by way of the following subsidiary questions: 

  • What contribution can temporary CDR make to the climate goals of the Paris Agreement?
  • Which emissions are eligible for compensation with temporary CDR?
  • When is compensation of emissions by CDR responsible?
  • To what extent does emissions accounting comply with the requirements of equivalent compensation?
