Where the CDR ecosystem comes together
On 20 May, DG CLIMA will convene stakeholders for the CRCF Day on permanent carbon removal. We are hosting a complementary evening event to deepen that engagement — an open marketplace bringing together buyers, investors, and suppliers across the full spectrum of CDR pathways.
This Brussels gathering marks the launch of the 2026 Invest in CDR Roadshow, a series of stops across Stockholm, Zurich, and London designed to accelerate matchmaking and collaboration across the carbon removal ecosystem throughout the year.
Objectives
Showcase the breadth of permanent CDR pathways active across the sector
Enable networking and follow-up conversations between projects, buyers, and investors
Signal strong stakeholder support for EU leadership in high-integrity carbon removal markets
