A useful learning and networking opportunity for anyone interested in CDR: the Carbofex: Biochar at Scale free webinar on August 23.

OpenAir is excited to present This Is CDR, an online event series that explores the wide range of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solutions currently being researched, developed, and deployed, and contextualize them for policy proposals OpenAir seeks to advance in New York, and other states, localities, and jurisdictions worldwide.
