In order to promote the different types of CO₂ removals equally, the European Science Advisory Board on Climate Change (ESABCC) is calling for separate targets for the individual areas. In addition to legally binding targets for gross emission reductions, sub-targets are also needed for permanent CO₂ removals, such as CCS. As well as temporary removals, such as carbon sequestration in soil or wood. In this way, investments should be steered more clearly and innovations driven forward, explains the Council in a report published on Friday.
