Carbon Dioxide Removal stands for actively removing CO₂ from the atmosphere. The market exploration for the province of Noord-Holland takes the ten scientifically substantiated methods distinguished by the IPCC as its point of departure and translates them into the Dutch context.
The ten reach from natural routes such as planting, reforestation, soil sequestration and blue carbon management to technological variants such as direct capture from air and ocean and enhanced weathering of minerals. For Noord-Holland the exploration orders this spectrum around entrepreneurs, financiers, government bodies and landowners, with an emphasis on proven, affordable and directly applicable natural sequestration; grey methods still call for further policy attention.
