    Brief

    The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) is seeking a consortium of suppliers to conduct research on greenhouse gas removal (GGR) methods that do not rely on carbon capture and storage technology. The focus areas include biochar, enhanced weathering, and marine carbon dioxide removal. This research will support UK policy decisions and net zero targets by examining: how these technologies perform in real-world conditions; methods for monitoring and measuring their effectiveness; suitable locations and conditions in the UK for research and deployment; practical pathways for UK-based implementation; and identification of barriers, opportunities, risks, and benefits. The project will require diverse expertise including evidence review, stakeholder consultation, and pathway analysis. Deliverables will include policy briefings, technical databases, case studies, and stakeholder engagement workshops. This is a significant, multi-disciplinary programme expected to be delivered by a collaborative team of specialists.
