The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is calling for nominations of the authors for the 2027 Methodology Report on Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies, Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage. Carbon Dioxide Removal refers to anthropogenic activities that remove CO2 from the atmosphere and store it durably in geological reservoirs or in products.
The content of the 2027 Methodology Report on Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies, Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage was agreed upon at the IPCC’s 63rd Plenary Session held in Lima from October 27 to 30, 2025.
“With immediate, deep and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and deployment of substantial CO2 removal, it may still be possible to limit global warming to 1.5°C by the end of this century. Greater knowledge about carbon dioxide removal technologies can complement climate mitigation strategies. This methodology report will be important for the possible integration of these into national GHG inventories and climate action plans,” said Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Co-Chair, Takeshi Enoki.
The Coordinating Lead Authors and Lead Authors are responsible for drafting the different chapters of the Methodology Report and revising them based on comments submitted during the review process.
Hundreds of experts worldwide volunteer their time and expertise to produce the IPCC’s reports. The author teams aim to reflect a range of scientific and technical views and backgrounds. The IPCC also seeks a balance of male and female experts, as well as between those experienced with working on IPCC reports and those new to the process, including younger experts.
The 2027 IPCC Methodology Report on Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies, Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage is being prepared by the Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. The Task Force Bureau will select Coordinating Lead Authors, Lead Authors and Review Editors from the list of nominations.
“Those interested in being nominated for the author team should contact their relevant Focal Point. A list of Focal Points for IPCC member governments and observer organi”ations is available here,” said the IPCC.
Governments, Observer Organisations, and IPCC Bureau Members have been requested to submit their nominations by Friday, December 12, 2025 (midnight CET).
Nominations are submitted through a dedicated online nomination tool by Focal Points and IPCC Bureau Members only.
