Removing CO2 from the air?- Information brochure

Samuel Eberenz, Kristina Koch & Isis-Sophia Keller, Risiko-Dialog

What are CDR methods? Which ones are being discussed and implemented in Switzerland, and what role can they play on the road to net zero emissions? Our info brochure "Removing CO₂ from the air?" provides answers to these questions. The brochure is aimed at anyone who would like an initial overview of carbon dioxide removal and so-called negative emission technologies.

Why is CDR important?

The effects of climate change are already threatening livelihoods, health and well-being worldwide. Switzerland also has the goal of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050 at the latest. The removal and subsequent storage of CO₂ from the atmosphere (also known as Carbon Dioxide Removal, CDR) is one piece of the puzzle to achieve the net zero target. Appropriate methods range from the promotion of natural carbon sinks and the sustainable use of forests to the mechanical filtering of CO₂ from the air.

Information Brochure

The brochure offers an introduction to the world of CO₂ removal and storage in Switzerland. In addition to information on the net zero target and the role of CDR in climate strategy, the brochure presents various CDR methods and their applications in Switzerland.
