Filament is PETG CF btw
RE: How do I get this jam clear?
I'm going to guess that you are using a V6 nozzle correct? This looks like a leak caused by not heat tightening the nozzle.
PETG CF is going to be hard to remove. Can start by removing the blower and fan shroud. Perhaps heat up the hot end and see if you can pull it free.

You have a first class blob of doom. Search for blob of doom to see how others have dealt with them.
Before doing anything, look at pictures of a clean extruder and note the position of the wires that are currently hidden, if you damage them you will have to buy replacement parts as broken wires can't be rejoined. (The wires are particularly delicate on pre-nextruder printers.)
You have probably damaged your fan shroud and will need a replacement.
To remove it:
Raise the nozzle temperature to the printing temperature for the filament in question and allow it to heat for several minutes.
If you are lucky you will be able to prise the blob open - more likely you will need to add heat from outside with a heat gun to aid the softening, sometimes it's worth using a soldering iron to carve chunks off the mass.
Use needle nosed pliers to prise this away; remove it in parts if it won't release the wires.
Once you have the worst removed you decide whether you need to disassemble the extruder to get at all the blob or perhaps you can clean up in situ.
After the cleanup there will be overcooked filament inside the nozzle so at least a purge and probably a cold-pull will be necessary.
For recent printers the commonest cause is poor bed adhesion and the commonest cause of that is inadequate print sheet cleaning.
Cheerio,
