To limit global warming to 2 deg. C (for maintaining the RCP 2.6 scenario of IPCC), a cumulative amount of 667 Gt CO2 needs to be removed from the atmosphere by 2100

WE ARE INTO MONITORING CARBON REMOVAL AND TRACKING PROGRESS TOWARD NET-ZERO
Global Carbon Removal Actions
Global carbon dioxide removal actions are expanding rapidly across regions and technologies; however, most remain fragmented and poorly monitored. Previous CDR data frameworks have aimed to support accounting but face significant gaps. Most fail to link removals to global carbon-cycle stocks and flows, overlook intermediate conversion processes, and exclude industrial or commercial storage options recognised by the IPCC. Although various platforms, such as UNFCCC, UNEP, GCF, CDR-FYI, and GEF, are recording CDR activities on a regular basis, there is a lack of an integrated analytical platform or terminal.
Why monitor carbon removal actions?
Monitoring carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is critical for assessing its real contribution to climate change mitigation. Accurate monitoring allows scientists to quantify how much COâ‚‚ is actually removed, how long it remains stored, and how these removals translate into reductions in atmospheric concentrations. This evidence is essential for integrating CDR into climate models, improving scenario projections, and reducing uncertainty in IPCC-aligned pathways. For policymakers, robust CDR monitoring provides a credible basis for designing regulations, setting targets, and allocating finance. Globally, transparent monitoring strengthens trust, informs adaptive policy decisions, and ensures that carbon removal delivers verifiable and lasting climate benefits.
Our Integrated Approach
Carbon Removal Analysis and Net-Zero Evaluation (CRANE) is a scientific research initiative focused on the systematic acquisition, curation, and analysis of data from anthropogenic carbon dioxide removal (CDR) activities. The project establishes a centralised, geo-referenced research framework for the characterisation, classification, and spatial analysis of carbon removal interventions across diverse geographic and climatic contexts. CRANE applies science-based modelling and analytical methods to evaluate the carbon removal capacity, efficiency, and performance of individual CDR projects using both quantitative metrics and geospatial visualisation. Key research outputs include assessments of carbon sequestration potential, projected positive impacts on local and regional climate scenarios, and net efficiency estimates derived from region-specific emission and baseline factors.

DIFFERENTIATOR
CRANE (Carbon Removal Analysis and Net-Zero Evaluation) is differentiated by its end-to-end, science-driven approach to carbon removal intelligence. Unlike conventional registries, CRANE not only collects and harmonises data from CDR and related climate action projects, but also processes and simulates these data to quantify their real climate impact. The platform evaluates net carbon sequestration efficiency, regional carbon neutrality, and positive effects on local climate scenarios, while explicitly aligning outcomes with IPCC pathways such as RCP 2.6. By combining a robust data repository with analytical and scenario-based evaluation, CRANE serves as a trusted decision-support tool for researchers, policymakers, and industries seeking verifiable evidence of progress toward net-zero goals.
