- What happens if carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies are unsuccessful? Many net-zero ambitions count on being able to “abate” CO2, either through carbon dioxide capture technologies, or offsetting actions such as planting trees.

- The EU has just set a binding target of 55% GHG reduction (compared to 1990 levels) by 2030, with a goal of being carbon neutral by 2050.
- Across the EU, average CO2 emissions from new passenger vehicles decreased by 12% in 2020. The primary reason? Sales of EVs tripled.
