Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) techniques, or negative emission technologies (NETs), are a suite of natural and technological pathways to remove and sequester carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air. Unlike carbon capture and storage, these techniques remove CO₂ directly from the atmosphere or enhance natural carbon sinks.
This bill establishes a state-funded reverse auction to purchase carbon dioxide removal projects to help achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals, with auction funds derived from a fee on aviation fuel.

This paper finds that for a CCU technology to be Paris Agreement compatible by 2030, it has to have low GHG emissions from CO2 capture and conversion, replace a GHG-intensive substitute, and in most cases lead to permanent storage.

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of how existing international and domestic (U.S.) law would apply to artificial upwelling and artificial downwelling projects.
This paper outlines some of the key local dimensions of marine CDR as currently imagined, and suggests a framework for increasing local participation in its assessment.
This paper looks at the implications that an equity perspective could have on national and regional obligations for negative emissions and the respective timings of net-zero targets.
This bill would create a Greenhouse Gas Technical Assistance Provider and Third-Party Verifier Certification Program within the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
This bill would amend the National and Community Service Act of 1990 to establish a Civilian Climate Corps (CCC) to help communities respond to climate change, transition to clean economies, and boost local climate jobs.
