The upcoming IPPC Methodology report on CDR, CCU and CCS will play a critical role for our sector, as it will update the methodological guidance used by countries worldwide for their national greenhouse gas inventories. These inventories underpin emissions accounting at every level, making this a unique opportunity for experts in our community to help ensure that the complexity of CCU value chains and cross-sector interactions is accurately and fairly represented.
The scientific scope and outline of the report were approved during the IPCC’s 63rd Plenary Session in Lima (27–30 October 2025). You can find the accepted outline here.
For those who want more context, the IPCC also hosted a special webinar on that report during COP30 last week, which can be re-watched here.
How to Apply:
The IPCC is currently seeking experts in:
-
Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies
-
Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage
-
Greenhouse gas accounting and inventory methodologies
-
Relevant scientific, technical, and policy dimensions
If you’re considering applying as an author or review editor, please note:
-
Applications must be submitted through your national IPCC focal point, which can be found here.
-
Deadlines are strict and vary by country, but most fall in the first or second week of December.
General information on the call is available here.
This is an important moment for our field. CO₂ Value Europe strongly encourages qualified colleagues to consider contributing to this high-impact report and shaping the methodological foundations that will guide climate action for years to come.
