Tech CDR & Innovations Panel: Deep Dives into the Future of Carbon Removal
Tech CDR Champions:
At the forefront of climate action, these five panel discussions will each spotlight a specific Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technology — BioEnergy with Carbon Capture & Storage (BECCS), Direct Air Capture (DAC), Biochar, Mineralisation/Enhanced Rock Weathering, and Marine CDR (including Direct Ocean Capture & Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement).

Each panel will bring together a dynamic mix of tech startups, expert practitioners, project developers, and producers to explore:
  • The science & innovation behind their CDR solution
  • Pathways for pilot & commercial-scale deployment
  • Scalability potential & market readiness
  • Key challenges — from financing, infrastructure to policy & public acceptance
  • Their “wishlist” to accelerate progress in the next 3–5 years
These sessions are designed to give attendees an unfiltered, tech-specific view of the breakthroughs, bottlenecks, and bold moves needed to make high-impact CDR a reality at scale.
