- Carbon Gap and B3 Carbon have wrapped up their Italy Carbon Removal Readiness Assessment, publishing a report that states the country has significant potential to deploy a range of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods to address residual CO2 emissions.
- The report also highlights that the main obstacles currently standing in the way of this scenario are policy uncertainty and a declining climate momentum that could delay progress at a critical moment.
- Even with strong and consistent mitigation efforts, Italy is expected to still have meaningful amounts of residual carbon emissions in 2050, according to the country’s national Long-Term Strategy, which is why carbon removals will be a key tool for reaching long-term climate targets.
