Carbon Gap has launched a free, open-access toolkit that enables users to assess how much carbon dioxide removal (CDR) a country could realistically deliver.

The toolkit can be found on the new Carbon Removal Readiness Assessment (CRRA) website, which also features all of Carbon Gap’s Carbon Removal Readiness Assessments (CRRA) performed to date. 

Having spent the last two years collaborating with local partners to conduct CRRA evaluations on seven different countries, Garbon Gap is now releasing the methodology that was shaped out through this work experience. 

This new offering packages an assessment methodology that can be used by governments, researchers, and civil society organizations to run CRRA evaluations for their own country.

“For two years we’ve been asking the same question, one country at a time: how much carbon could you actually remove? Now we’re handing over the recipe. Any government, university, or NGO can pick up this toolkit and get a credible answer for their own country autonomously,” said Sylvain Delerce, Chief Scientist at Carbon Gap. 

To perform an assessment with the toolkit, users can rely on a step-by-step guide that covers the methodology, timelines, budgets, and staffing.

Additionally, users can access templates that can be used to run a background report and to create a national CDR roadmap. 

Within this offering, Carbon Gap is also providing materials for stakeholder interviews and citizen panels, as well as a taxonomy of CDR methods and a database of resource requirements, developed in partnership with the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI).
