The working groups are open to all members of the platform.
Our members have the opportunity to actively participate in the two working groups, "R&D, Innovation and Pilots" and "Policy". The working groups meet regularly via conference calls and face-to-face meetings. The aim is to discuss CDR topics across sector boundaries, develop solutions, and initiate and strengthen cooperation.
In this working group, experts and decision-makers from industry, government, research and civil society exchange ideas on project concepts, results, lessons learned, current challenges and the future scaling of CDR methods. The working group focuses on bridging the gap between innovative research, pilot projects and scaling. It serves as a network, provides feedback on CDR R&D, innovation and pilot activities, and explores potential synergies. Members exchange information on innovation trends, ongoing and planned projects, funding opportunities and prospects for cooperation. The group, which is jointly led by Cyril Brunner (ETH Zurich), Björn Niesen (Empa) and Samuel Eberenz (Risiko-Dialog), meets regularly online and at least once a year in person. A mailing list facilitates the exchange of information and communication between meetings.
Do you have any questions or suggestions?
In Switzerland, political measures and regulations for CO₂ removal and storage are still in their infancy. With the CDR Swiss Policy Working Group, we contribute to the framework conditions for a sustainable and jointly designed expansion of CDR from a multi-stakeholder perspective. In addition, we provide a space for internal exchange on policy-related developments and activities and coordinate interventions. The working group is jointly led by Valentina Nesa (EBP) and Lukas Fehr (Risiko-Dialog). A mailing list enables members to exchange information, ask questions and get in touch with each other between meetings. Help us create a fertile environment for CDR in Switzerland!
Do you have any questions or suggestions?
"In the CDR field, we are doing many things for the first time and will continue to do so. It is normal that not everything works right away. The CDR Swiss working group is very helpful in learning from these experiences as a community."
