en.Wedoany.com Reported - The U.S. non-governmental organization Carbon180 has released a new resource focused on advancing carbon dioxide removal (CDR), titled "Scaling Technology-Based CDR: A U.S. Federal Policy Roadmap." This roadmap provides policy recommendations for U.S. federal policymakers on how to accelerate the deployment of technology-based CDR in the near term and promote its responsible growth over the long term.
The resource emphasizes the need to establish a federal policy foundation to drive climate solutions and outlines practical, actionable steps for developing technology-based CDR policies. This progress will help the U.S. achieve an interim target of removing 30 megatons of carbon dioxide annually through all CDR pathways by 2030.
Carbon180 notes that while the U.S. has the financial, technological, and geological resources to build a domestic technology-based CDR industry and supply a multi-gigaton global market by mid-century, federal policy is crucial for de-risking investments, building supporting infrastructure, and ensuring responsible deployment. Technology-based CDR refers to engineering solutions that remove CO2 from the air and store it for hundreds to thousands of years, offering permanent, verifiable storage with low reversal risk. These solutions include direct air capture (DAC), biomass carbon removal and storage (BiCRS), enhanced mineralization, and various ocean-based pathways.
Guided by work in collaboration with communities, Carbon180 has developed original recommendations and carefully selected the most impactful policy solutions to help build a robust and responsible technology-based CDR sector in the U.S. The resulting roadmap outlines federal policy recommendations targeting four enabling conditions for technology-based CDR: research, development, demonstration, and deployment; infrastructure; durable market standards; and measurement, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MMRV). In each of the roadmap's four main sections, Carbon180 provides priority recommendations that can have an immediate meaningful impact and outlines additional steps to advance the U.S. technology-based CDR sector. Carbon180 has also previously released its first responsible CDR framework and, together with The Carbon Business Council and Ocean Conservancy, launched a new mCDR forum.
