Carbon Removal Canada

Canada’s carbon removal sector received a boost with the launch of the Advance Carbon Removal Coalition (ACR), an initiative aimed at mobilizing $100 million for Canadian carbon dioxide removal projects by 2030.

Led by Carbon Removal Canada, the coalition brings together founding members including the Government of Canada, BMO, ClimeFi, NorthX, RBC, Shopify, and Vancity. Together, the organizations have already committed more than $75 million to the country’s emerging carbon removal ecosystem. ACR will focus on increasing demand for high-integrity carbon removal credits, helping projects secure financing and scale deployment. Supporters say stronger demand signals are essential for Canada to compete in the rapidly growing global carbon removal market.

Na’im Merchant of Carbon Removal Canada is calling for greater investment in direct air capture (DAC) as Alberta eyes leadership in carbon removal. With carbon dioxide lingering for up to 1,000 years, Merchant argues that DAC is vital for removing historical emissions and addressing hard-to-abate sectors.

Alberta’s new ACCIP incentive and Canada’s federal CCUS tax credit have drawn global attention. But with Climeworks downsizing and U.S. commitments wavering, Merchant warns that innovation must not stall. Comparing DAC to early solar tech, he urges continued research to ensure viable climate solutions emerge.

Canada has a rare opportunity to lead the global clean economy, writes Tim Bushman of Carbon Removal Canada. He argues that with the re-election of the Carney-led Liberal government, Canada must accelerate investment in low-carbon industries—like critical minerals, geothermal energy, and carbon removal.

Bushman warns of rising climate-related costs and lost GDP if inaction continues, but sees economic promise in clean exports and emissions trading systems. With global trade shifting, Canada’s clean products could offer competitive advantages. The moment calls for bold leadership—and a commitment to decarbonization as a national economic strategy.
