SBTi Playbook: How to Use Carbon Removals to achieve Net Zero (2025)

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has tightened its rules, and removals are now a requirement. This playbook explains the new Net Zero Standard 2.0 and what it means for corporate climate strategies.

It explores the 7% durable removals ramp-up, the 28% Scope 1 removal requirement, and how companies should phase in investments. It also connects SBTi with Oxford Principles and CSRD, giving sustainability teams a clear roadmap to compliance without falling into greenwashing traps.
