CDRmare
Research Mission of the German Marine Research Alliance (DAM) »Marine carbon sinks in decarbonisation pathways«
In order to support pathways to mitigate the increasingly drastic consequences of human-made climate change and to achieve the Paris Agreement goals, the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere will be an important measure alongside massive CO2 emission reductions.
As part of the research mission CDRmare (CDR: Carbon Dioxide Removal), nearly 140 scientists across five research consortia are investigating whether, and to what extent, the ocean can play a significant role in the removal and storage of CO₂ from the atmosphere. It will also consider the linkages with and impacts on the marine environment, Earth system, and society, as well as appropriate approaches for monitoring, attributing, and accounting for marine carbon storage in a changing environment.
Members of CDRmare support important climate policy strategy processes in Germany and within the European Union in close dialogue with politics, business and civil society. They communicate new research findings in a transparent and accessible way.
