Biochar could potentially remove over 1 billion tons of CO₂e annually. In general, carbon management solutions could remove billions of tons of CO₂e from the atmosphere annually.
The War Room fulfills a critical strategic role in monitoring all areas affecting climate change and identifying areas that need resources and implementation support. There is both an Operations arm of the Carbon War Room, focused on implementation, and an Intelligence arm, focused on strategic information gathering, monitoring and modeling. The Intelligence Team tracks the 25 battle areas that each annually account for over 1 billion tons (gigatons) of CO2e emissions globally.
By harnessing the resources and skills of global entrepreneurs and institutions, CWR works quickly and effectively to deliver innovative solutions that can and will move the entire world towards a prosperous low-carbon future.
