The carbon dioxide removal (CDR) sector has matured from research to early market pilots and demonstrations, forming a complex ecosystem of stakeholders. The key policy challenge now is to create clearer frameworks to better coordinate investments, standards, procurement, and accountability across this diverse and growing network.
