Climeworks has introduced an optimized carbon dioxide removal (CDR) portfolio blueprint aimed at assisting companies in achieving their carbon removal targets more efficiently and cost-effectively by 2050. This blueprint emphasizes the importance of both natural and engineered CDR solutions, projecting an annual removal of 6-16 gigatons of CO2 to meet climate goals.

The model incorporates advanced solutions such as reforestation, biochar, and direct air capture, with an average CDR cost set around $225 per ton. Companies adopting this model can expect significant cost savings and support from Climeworks throughout the implementation process.
