UK to award £54M to 15 projects developing innovative carbon removal technology

Green Car Congress

Starting with biochar, we see a future where suppliers and users of Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) technologies are connected through our easy-to-use online platform that allows them to buy, sell and verify the impacts of their GGR solution. This will transform the GGR market at pace, delivering over 50,000 t of carbon removal by 2030.
