🤩 Later today, policymakers, researchers, founders, industry leaders, and NGOs are gathering to unpack what it will really take to scale carbon removal in Germany at the launch of  Carbon Gap ’s Germany's Carbon Removal Readiness Assessment Report.  🎙️ At the  CDR Policy Scoop , we are excited to release our very first country special on Germany to answer the big question: Will Germany turn ambition into deployment fast enough? 🔐 Tune in for a clear look at Germany’s progr
