Location: Online (Webinar)
In the fight against climate change, the carbon removal industry is emerging as an important contributor. A leading group of major corporates and governments are now taking an interest. In addition to helping address the climate challenge, carbon removal presents a new climate finance theme that is particularly well tailored to the MENA region.
Carbon dioxide removal solutions can reduce the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, thereby reducing the greenhouse gas effect. The MENA region is very well suited for engineered removals, with an abundance of solar and wind power and geological storage options. Unlocking this removal capacity is a major opportunity for the region, with various Direct Air Capture projects already being undertaken.
This side-event will look at what is needed to advance engineered removals in the MENA region, keeping in mind that both the COP27 and COP28 will be hosted here. We will assess the technological ramifications, particularly focusing on Direct Air Capture and storage solutions, and discuss the business models, investment vehicles, and regulatory incentives to help address the current investment gap.
