London Marathon Events aims to remove 280 tonnes at first and to increase this figure year-on-year.
The organisers of the London Marathon are to begin paying to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while aiming to become net zero by 2030.
This would include using electric vehicles, switching from diesel to hydrotreated vegetable oil generators and encouraging participants to use public transport.It is looking to scale up both removal and reduction in order to move forward its net zero by 2040 goal to 2030 instead. “But the fact that there is something that we can do then yeah, that has been a factor in helping us to be more ambitious.”
The company it is paying, CUR8, uses a variety of methods to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, such as improving soils, growing forests and creating biochar. He said CUR8, which will also remove CO2 on behalf of The 1975 and other bands, uses due diligence to ensure that its partners are removing carbon in scientifically robust ways that can be credibly measured and audited, that are also legal and which can be scaled up to meet global demand.
