How to target EU funding to scale up CDR research, development & innovation? | Carbon Gap
"In this panel discussion, we looked at ways to encourage funding for CDR research, development and innovation, asking panellists Lee Beck, Philippe Ciais, Megan Kemp and Jeroen Schuppers questions such as:
1. What research gaps remain to be addressed among carbon removal methods, and what role does RD&I funding play in closing these gaps?
2. How can we best align the funding support available in the EU to ensure it is well-targeted and coordinated across the different methods?
3. How can we manage to expand the budget for carbon removal RD&I?"

Demystifying Ocean Carbon Dioxide Removal | eesionline
"The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and the World Resources Institute (WRI) held a briefing about ocean carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Reaching global climate goals will require not only deep and rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, but also large-scale removal of excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. While federal funding for research, development, and demonstration of land-based CDR approaches and technologies has increased significantly in recent years, the ocean also presents opportunities for carbon removal.
Panelists discussed the current state of ocean CDR, including the status of different approaches; the policy and regulatory landscape; research gaps; and the importance of responsible scaling. They also discussed how lawmakers can engage in this emerging policy arena to meet mitigation and adaptation goals."
