The Negative Emissions Platform (NEP), in collaboration with CDR.fyi and AFEN, has created a new toolkit for decision-makers that highlights what can be done to stimulate the growth of the carbon dioxide removal (CDR) sector through policy frameworks.

Drawing from experience from frontrunning countries in this industry, the toolkit provides actionable pointers for ministries, agencies, and funding bodies, offering pathways that could help advance CDR to megatonne levels by the 2030s.

The timely CDR industry scaling needs immediate action and long-term commitments, which would attract investments and support for bankable projects, launching a journey that would enable learning curves and economies of scale.

The support for CDR should cover a broad portfolio of technologies, including oceanic, terrestrial, and geologic approaches. This diversification would hedge against a technological lock-in while bringing more co-benefits and respecting the environmental boundaries that limit the gross CDR budget.
