Next Generation of US Policies To Remove Carbon Pollution From the Atmosphere

The document argues that carbon dioxide removal is a necessary complement to emissions reductions and outlines a strategy for the U.S. to lead the sector. It recommends focusing on research, development, and demonstration (RD&D), building market demand, and establishing governance frameworks to ensure safety, climate impact, and local economic benefits.

• Carbon dioxide removal is required as a supplementary measure to deep and rapid emissions reductions to mitigate climate change impacts.
• The United States has established a global leadership position in the carbon removal industry through significant public and private investment in research, demonstration, and early deployment.
• Future U.S. policy should prioritize three main areas: increasing research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) of technologies; stimulating demand for carbon removal; and implementing governance frameworks to maximize climate impact and local benefits.
