State-Level CDR Action: Policies Paving the Way for Removals
- Policies that create demand for carbon removals are needed to increase CDR innovation and scale-up. State-level action is on the rise. Which states have made significant progress in the last two years, and how?
- US States are the laboratories of higher policy and offer, in many ways, more direct pathways for impact. These state CDR policies vary significantly, reflecting diverse approaches and levels of commitment to decarbonization. What are the most significant policies in leading ‘CDR states’?
- Besides policies, incentives for carbon removal vary widely, reflecting each state's unique priorities and resources. What can new ‘state’ players learn from CDR leading states, and how do regional variations impact the policy choice?
- Efforts in policy work have shifted. Newer and underserved solutions (ERW, BICRS, mCDR, etc.) are currently taking the spotlight from DAC. What are the motivations for this shift?
- California is leading the way in CDR; however, other states have different or opposing views. How do you find common ground that can work for companies and their clients who work interstate?
