40 | The Removal Compliance System: North Star for CDR demand in Europe? - with Francesca Battersby

The EU carbon removal purchasing programme and potential integration of removals into the ETS have generated plenty of buzz. Yet these could just be a first step in a longer policy sequence.

Could a CDR Compliance System be the north star to aim for in the longer term?

Carbon Gap (linkedin.com/company/carbongap) has just unveiled its new report looking at how to drive long-term demand for permanent carbon removals across Europe.

In it, they examine different options for a Removal Compliance System (RCS), looking at both traditional emissions-based obligations and economy-wide mandates.

Could the RCS spark fresh opportunities and big debates? How can Europe develop and design a new mode of compliance?

We’re thrilled to welcome special guest Francesca Battersby (linkedin.com/in/francescabattersby), Senior Policy Analyst at Carbon Gap (linkedin.com/company/carbongap) and the lead author of the report, to explore this exciting topic together. She brings all the exclusive insights to help dissect the concepts on the table.

Join co-hosts Eve Tamme (linkedin.com/in/evetamme) and Sebastian Manhart (linkedin.com/in/sebastianmanhart) as they explore with Francesca what makes the RCS a potential game-changer and what issues to watch out for.
