By 2050, humanity must quadruple CO2 removal to meet climate targets, with 7-9 billion tonnes of CO2 needing capture from the atmosphere. Massive expansion of CO2-absorbing forests (99% of current removal) could claim land for food and biofuels. New CO2-sucking technologies' scalability remains uncertain, according to Oxford University's second edition of "The State of Carbon Dioxide Removal." The report highlights the need for rapid emissions cuts and CDR to reach climate goals.
