Netherlands report maps ecological and social aspects of large-scale carbon removal

A study commissioned by the Climate Research Initiative Netherlands and led by the University of Twente examines how large‑scale carbon removal can be carried out responsibly. The research identifies ecological impacts that must be considered, such as effects on ecosystems and biodiversity. It also outlines social preconditions, including community acceptance and fair resource use, that are essential for achieving climate goals.

There is a strong national and international commitment to large-scale carbon removal from the atmosphere (Carbon Dioxide Removal, CDR) to achieve climate goals. A study commissioned by the Climate Research Initiative Netherlands (KIN) and led by the University of Twente shows which ecological and social effects and preconditions must be taken into account.
