Three key lessons: (1) current supply of carbon removal solutions is much smaller than what is needed to reach net-zero emissions by 2050; (2) there is a lack of standards and clear definitions for carbon removal; (3) current accounting systems do not distinguish between short- and long-term storage of CO2.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/microsofts-million-tonne-co2-removal-purchase-lessons-for-net-zero/}, pages = {629-632}, journal = {Nature}, volume = {597}, }
