Demand-Side Support for Scaling CDR Policy Primer

The Carbon Business Council has published the Demand-Side Support for Scaling Carbon Dioxide Removal Policy Primer. This publication was developed by a working group of experts convened by the association. As the publication notes, a particular priority at the CDR market’s current early stage is to advance policy that provides demand support for the full portfolio of CDR solutions we will need to meet our climate goals. The policy primer highlights reasons for implementing demand-support policy for CDR; identifies demand-support policy opportunities; and offers a set of best practices for policymakers and advocates to advance the portfolio of demand-support policies for CDR.
