WHY |
According to estimates, we need to remove around six gigatons of CO2 per year by 2030 and 10 gigatons per year by 2050 to reach the climate goals agreed in the Paris Agreement climate change treaty. The goal of the AirMiners Boot Up is to help participants understand the solutions, terms, and current players in the carbon removal industry, and network with others who are joining the industry. |
