RMI has developed the State CDR Atlas, a screening tool designed to help US state policymakers and industry actors identify the most promising carbon dioxide removal (CDR) approaches for their specific geographies and evaluate the readiness of their policy and regulatory environments.

This research paper by the NewClimate Institute examines policy frameworks for upscaling Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) while ensuring that such efforts do not detract from greenhouse gas emissions reductions. The authors analyze various CDR approaches, their development stages, and the risks associated with using offsetting schemes, ultimately advocating for the separation of emission reduction targets from removal targets.

This appendix from the IPCC Working Group III report provides a detailed technical summary of various Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) methods, comparing their technology readiness levels (TRL), costs, mitigation potentials, and associated risks and co-benefits.
