The Carbon Removal India Alliance exists to accelerate the development, commercialisation, deployment, and co-benefit of durable carbon dioxide removal technologies in India.
OUR MISSION
To support the development of a carbon removal sector in India to generate income, investment and jobs while reducing green house gases in the atmosphere.
OUR VISION
The Carbon Removal India Alliance envisions transforming India into a global nexus of innovation and sustainability, driving the development and deployment of cutting-edge, durable carbon removal technologies.
Through collaborative industry growth, knowledge transfer, and societal engagement, CRIA aims to harmonise economic progress with environmental stewardship, positioning India as a leader in climate resilience and carbon management.
OUR POLICIES
Long duration carbon removal methods
Projects which can achieve a permanence of removal of multiple centuries (in line with the European Commission’s proposed 300-year definition of carbon dioxide removal).
India focus
Organisations with durable carbon removal operations in India or with an interest in developing the Indian carbon dioxide removal sector.
High quality and high trust removal
Our efforts are intended to build an industry grounded in trust and the generation of high-quality carbon removal credits.
Approach and technology agnostic
No one durable carbon removal approach will generate the scale required to meet the global durable carbon removal requirement. For organisations working across several different approaches, such as rehabilitative agriculture and biochar we will work with those organisations who generates most carbon removal credits from high quality durable carbon removal methods.
WHAT WE DO
Research
To advance understanding on sector opportunities and constraints by advancing research into co-benefits and risks, integrated technology solutions and land use efficiency
Ecosystem Building
