Abstract

Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) methods are being proposed and piloted in Europe. Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) is a structured process to collect, disclose and independently verify data on mCDR activities. The EMB Future Science Brief No. 13 ‘Monitoring, Reporting and Verification for marine Carbon Dioxide Removal' aims to identify knowledge gaps, challenges and uncertainties in developing transparent and standardised MRV systems for mCDR methods and provides recommendations on how to overcome them. It addresses the need for science-based guidance for developing robust, transparent and scientifically underpinned MRV frameworks for mCDR going forward.
