Carbon dioxide removal

<h2 id="definition">Definition</h2>

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is defined by the <a href="/facts/Intergovernmental_Panel_on_Climate_Change/sh76du1u">IPCC</a> as: "Anthropogenic activities removing CO2 from the atmosphere and durably storing it in geological, terrestrial, or ocean reservoirs, or in products. It includes existing and potential anthropogenic enhancement of biological or geochemical sinks and direct air capture and storage, but excludes natural CO2 uptake not directly caused by human activities."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a>: 2221 
Synonyms for CDR include greenhouse gas removal (GGR),<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a> negative emissions technology,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a> and carbon removal.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a> Technologies have been proposed for removing non-CO2 greenhouse gases such as methane from the atmosphere,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a> but only carbon dioxide is currently feasible to remove at scale.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a> Therefore, in most contexts, greenhouse gas removal means carbon dioxide removal.
The term geoengineering (or <a href="/facts/Climate_engineering/yo7WTpGe">climate engineering</a>) is sometimes used in the scientific literature for both CDR or SRM (<a href="/facts/Solar_Radiation_Management/Ho5UblE7">solar radiation management</a>), if the techniques are used at a global scale.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a>: 6–11  The terms geoengineering or climate engineering are no longer used in IPCC reports.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a>

<h2 id="categories">Categories</h2>
CDR methods can be placed in different categories that are based on different criteria:<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a>: 114 

<ul><li>Role in the <a href="/facts/Carbon_cycle/gVusRaPF">carbon cycle</a> (land-based biological; ocean-based biological; geochemical; chemical); or</li>
<li>Timescale of storage (decades to centuries; centuries to millennia; thousand years or longer)</li></ul>
<h3>Concepts using similar terminology</h3>
CDR can be confused with <a href="/facts/Carbon_capture_and_storage/d8DzjobH">carbon capture and storage</a> (CCS), a process in which carbon dioxide is collected from point-sources such as <a href="/facts/Gas-fired_power_plant/DeDmXmHI">gas-fired power plants</a>, whose smokestacks emit CO2 in a concentrated stream. The CO2 is then compressed and <a href="/facts/Carbon_sequestration/WDBvr9eU">sequestered</a> or utilized.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a> When used to sequester the carbon from a gas-fired power plant, CCS reduces emissions from continued use of the point source, but does not reduce the amount of <a href="/facts/Carbon_dioxide_in_Earth%27s_atmosphere/h6A4HSzy">carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere</a>.

<h2 id="role-in-climate-change-mitigation">Role in climate change mitigation</h2>
Use of CDR reduces the overall rate at which humans are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a>: 114  The Earth's surface temperature will stabilize only after global emissions have been reduced to <a href="/facts/Net_zero/llsAknfI">net zero</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a> which will require both aggressive efforts to reduce emissions and deployment of CDR.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a>: 114  It is not feasible to bring net emissions to zero without CDR as certain types of emissions are technically difficult to eliminate.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a>: 1261  Emissions that are difficult to eliminate include nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a>: 114  aviation emissions,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a>: 3  and some industrial emissions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a>: 114  In <a href="/facts/Climate_change_mitigation/GgkoeWMk">climate change mitigation</a> strategies, the use of CDR counterbalances those emissions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a>: 114 
After <a href="/facts/Net_zero/llsAknfI">net zero</a> emissions have been achieved, CDR could be used to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations, which could partially reverse the warming that has already occurred by that date.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a> All emission pathways that limit global warming to 1.5 °C or 2 °C by the year 2100 assume the use of CDR in combination with emission reductions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a>

<h3>Critique and risks</h3>
Critics point out that CDR must not be regarded as a substitute for the required cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. Oceanographer <a href="/facts/David_Ho_(oceanographer)/UqB0NfSI">David Ho</a> formulated it like this in 2023 "We must stop talking about deploying CDR as a solution today, when emissions remain high—as if it somehow replaces radical, immediate emission cuts.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a>
Reliance on large-scale deployment of CDR was regarded in 2018 as a "major risk" to achieving the goal of less than 1.5 °C of warming, given the uncertainties in how quickly CDR can be deployed at scale.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a> Strategies for mitigating climate change that rely less on CDR and more on <a href="/facts/Sustainable_energy/EnD6dsKV">sustainable use of energy</a> carry less of this risk.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a>
The possibility of large-scale future CDR deployment has been described as a <a href="/facts/Moral_hazard/HdsYcG0B">moral hazard</a>, as it could lead to a reduction in near-term efforts to mitigate climate change.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a>: 124 <a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a> However, the 2019 NASEM report concludes: "Any argument to delay mitigation efforts because NETs will provide a backstop drastically misrepresents their current capacities and the likely pace of research progress."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a>
CDR is meant to complement efforts in hard-to-abate sectors rather than replace mitigation. Limiting climate change to 1.5 °C and achieving net-zero emissions would entail substantial carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the atmosphere by the mid-century, but how much CDR is needed at country level over time is unclear. Equitable allocations of CDR, in many cases, exceed implied land and carbon storage capacities. Many countries have either insufficient land to contribute an equitable share of global CDR or insufficient geological storage capacity.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a>
Experts also highlight social and ecological limits for carbon dioxide removal, such as the land area required. For example, the combined land requirements of removal plans as per the global Nationally Determined Contributions in 2023 amounted to 1.2 billion hectares, which is equal to the combined size of global croplands.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a>

<h3>Permanence</h3>
Forests, <a href="/facts/Kelp_bed/gQH0vcFF">kelp beds</a>, and other forms of plant life absorb carbon dioxide from the air as they grow, and bind it into biomass. However, these biological stores are considered volatile <a href="/facts/Carbon_sink/Gv7uXVmT">carbon sinks</a> as the long-term sequestration cannot be guaranteed. For example, natural events, such as <a href="/facts/Wildfire/LU3797A0">wildfires</a> or disease, economic pressures and changing political priorities can result in the sequestered carbon being released back into the atmosphere.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a>
Biomass, such as trees, can be directly stored into the Earth's subsurface.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a> Furthermore, carbon dioxide that has been removed from the atmosphere can be stored in the Earth's crust by <a href="/facts/Geologic_sequestration_of_CO2/d8DzjobH">injecting it into the subsurface</a>, or in the form of insoluble <a href="/facts/Carbonate/FES1QHkN">carbonate</a> salts. This is because they are removing carbon from the atmosphere and sequestering it indefinitely and presumably for a considerable duration (thousands to millions of years).

<h3>Current and potential scale</h3>
As of 2023, CDR is estimated to remove about 2 gigatons of CO2 per year, almost entirely by low-tech methods like reforestation and the creation of new forests.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a> This is equivalent to 4% of the greenhouse gases emitted per year by human activities.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a>: 8  A 2019 consensus study report by <a href="/facts/National_Academies_of_Sciences,_Engineering,_and_Medicine/AdYmBBGV">NASEM</a> assessed the potential of all forms of CDR other than <a href="/facts/Ocean_fertilization/slPNVRIf">ocean fertilization</a> that could be deployed safely and economically using current technologies, and estimated that they could remove up to 10 gigatons of CO2 per year if fully deployed worldwide.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a> In 2018, all analyzed <a href="/facts/Integrated_assessment_modelling/av5zQ8fq">mitigation pathways</a> that would prevent more than 1.5 °C of warming included CDR measures.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a>
Some mitigation pathways propose achieving higher rates of CDR through massive deployment of one technology; however, these pathways assume that hundreds of millions of hectares of cropland are converted to growing <a href="/facts/Biofuel/RWu7b6Y3">biofuel</a> crops.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a> Further research in the areas of <a href="/facts/Direct_air_capture/C2WwQ4Ge">direct air capture</a>, <a href="/facts/Geologic_sequestration_of_carbon_dioxide/WDBvr9eU">geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide</a>, and <a href="/facts/Carbon_mineralization/2kj3R9VI">carbon mineralization</a> could potentially yield technological advancements that make higher rates of CDR economically feasible.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51">51</a>

The CDR methods with the greatest potential to contribute to climate change mitigation efforts as per illustrative mitigation pathways are the land-based biological CDR methods (primarily afforestation/reforestation (A/R)) and/or bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). Some of the pathways also include direct air capture and storage (DACCS).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a>: 114 

<h3>Afforestation, reforestation, and forestry management</h3>
Trees use <a href="/facts/Photosynthesis/TMV7w693">photosynthesis</a> to absorb carbon dioxide and store the carbon in wood and soils.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a> <a href="/facts/Afforestation/b8sP61Ms">Afforestation</a> is the establishment of a forest in an area where there was previously no forest.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55">55</a>: 1794  <a href="/facts/Reforestation/U4MMM3lq">Reforestation</a> is the re-establishment of a forest that has been previously cleared.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56">56</a>: 1812  Forests are vital for human society, animals and plant species. This is because trees keep air clean, regulate the local climate and provide a habitat for numerous species.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57">57</a>
As trees grow they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and store it in living biomass, dead organic matter and <a href="/facts/Soil_carbon/IbEAIAyj">soils</a>. Afforestation and reforestation – sometimes referred to collectively as 'forestation' – facilitate this process of carbon removal by establishing or re-establishing forest areas. It takes forests approximately 10 years to ramp- up to the maximum sequestration rate.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:58" href="#fn:58">58</a>: 26–28 
Depending on the species, the trees will reach maturity after around 20 to 100 years, after which they store carbon but do not actively remove it from the atmosphere.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59">59</a>: 26–28  Carbon can be stored in forests indefinitely, but the storage can also be much more short-lived as trees are vulnerable to being cut, burned, or killed by disease or drought.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:60" href="#fn:60">60</a>: 26–28  Once mature, forest products can be harvested and the biomass stored in long-lived wood products, or used for bioenergy or <a href="/facts/Biochar/z16ymbQ3">biochar</a>. Consequent forest regrowth then allows continuing CO2 removal.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61">61</a>: 26–28 
Risks to deployment of new forest include the availability of land, competition with other land uses, and the comparatively long time from planting to maturity.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:62" href="#fn:62">62</a>: 26–28 

<h3>Agricultural practices (carbon farming)</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Carbon_farming/bvRvE8nz">Carbon farming</a>
<a href="/facts/Carbon_farming/bvRvE8nz">Carbon farming</a> is a set of agricultural methods that aim to store carbon in the <a href="/facts/Soil/5Ddpr3QM">soil</a>, crop roots, wood and leaves. The overall goal of carbon farming is to create a net loss of carbon from the atmosphere.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:63" href="#fn:63">63</a> This is done by increasing the rate at which carbon is sequestered into soil and plant material. One option is to increase the <a href="/facts/Soil_organic_matter/WrAuRGp4">soil's organic matter</a> content. This can also aid plant growth, improve <a href="/facts/Soil_water_(retention)/waECSKNT">soil water retention</a> capacity<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:64" href="#fn:64">64</a> and reduce <a href="/facts/Fertilizer/ysh3r6NJ">fertilizer</a> use.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:65" href="#fn:65">65</a> <a href="/facts/Sustainable_forest_management/teMmzAs0">Sustainable forest management</a> is another tool that is used in carbon farming.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:66" href="#fn:66">66</a>
Agricultural methods for carbon farming include adjusting how <a href="/facts/Tillage/REm6oG2B">tillage</a> and livestock <a href="/facts/Grazing/nxF45P2c">grazing</a> is done, using organic <a href="/facts/Mulch/MXaQnlGK">mulch</a> or <a href="/facts/Compost/q6kmXGWU">compost</a>, working with <a href="/facts/Biochar/z16ymbQ3">biochar</a> and <a href="/facts/Terra_preta/W4ppqnYV">terra preta</a>, and changing the crop types. Methods used in forestry include for example <a href="/facts/Reforestation/U4MMM3lq">reforestation</a> and <a href="/facts/Bamboo_farming/BhP0JKVE">bamboo farming</a>. Carbon farming is not without its challenges or disadvantages. This is because some of its methods can affect <a href="/facts/Ecosystem_service/Fm4owYGV">ecosystem services</a>. For example, carbon farming could cause an increase of land clearing, <a href="/facts/Monoculture/SVsR3W9F">monocultures</a> and <a href="/facts/Biodiversity_loss/p7xI1P0G">biodiversity loss</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:67" href="#fn:67">67</a>

<h3>Bioenergy with carbon capture & storage (BECCS)</h3>
This section is an excerpt from <a href="/facts/Bioenergy_with_carbon_capture_and_storage/hRndNuvQ">Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage</a>.[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bioenergy_with_carbon_capture_and_storage&action=edit">edit</a>]

<a href="/facts/Bioenergy_with_carbon_capture_and_storage/hRndNuvQ">Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage</a> (BECCS) is the process of extracting <a href="/facts/Bioenergy/BvDWWFGP">bioenergy</a> from <a href="/facts/Biomass_(energy)/bN7lfSb2">biomass</a> and capturing and storing the carbon dioxide (CO2) that is produced.
<h3>Biochar carbon removal (BCR)</h3>
Main article: Biochar carbon removal
<a href="/facts/Biochar/z16ymbQ3">Biochar</a> is created by the <a href="/facts/Pyrolysis/h1cEegI7">pyrolysis</a> of <a href="/facts/Biomass/4VHjaya3">biomass</a>, and is under investigation as a method of <a href="/facts/Carbon_sequestration/WDBvr9eU">carbon sequestration</a>.
Biochar is a charcoal that is used for agricultural purposes which also aids in <a href="/facts/Carbon_sequestration/WDBvr9eU">carbon sequestration</a>, the capture or hold of carbon. It is created using a process called pyrolysis, which is basically the act of high temperature heating biomass in an environment with low oxygen levels. What remains is a material known as char, similar to charcoal but is made through a sustainable process, thus the use of biomass.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:68" href="#fn:68">68</a> Biomass is organic matter produced by living organisms or recently living organisms, most commonly plants or plant based material.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:69" href="#fn:69">69</a> A study done by the UK Biochar Research Center has stated that, on a conservative level, biochar can store 1 gigaton of carbon per year. With greater effort in marketing and acceptance of biochar, the benefit of Biochar Carbon Removal could be the storage of 5–9 gigatons per year in soils.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:70" href="#fn:70">70</a>[better source needed] However, at the moment, biochar is restricted by the terrestrial carbon storage capacity, when the system reaches the state of equilibrium, and requires regulation because of threats of leakage.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:71" href="#fn:71">71</a>

<h3>Direct air capture with carbon sequestration (DACCS)</h3>
This section is an excerpt from <a href="/facts/Direct_air_capture/C2WwQ4Ge">Direct air capture</a>.[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Direct_air_capture&action=edit">edit</a>]
<a href="/facts/Direct_air_capture/C2WwQ4Ge">Direct air capture</a> (DAC) is the use of chemical or physical processes to extract <a href="/facts/Carbon_dioxide/xGzpppEp">carbon dioxide</a> (CO2) directly from the ambient air.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:72" href="#fn:72">72</a> If the extracted CO2 is then <a href="/facts/Carbon_sequestration/WDBvr9eU">sequestered</a> in safe long-term storage, the overall process is called direct air carbon capture and sequestration (DACCS), achieving carbon dioxide removal. Systems that engage in such a process are referred to as negative emissions technologies (NET).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:73" href="#fn:73">73</a>
<h3>Marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR)</h3>
See also: <a href="/facts/Carbon_sequestration/WDBvr9eU">Carbon sequestration § Sequestration in oceans</a>

There are several methods of sequestering carbon from the ocean, where dissolved carbonate in the form of <a href="/facts/Carbonic_acid/fjjVAhwt">carbonic acid</a> is in equilibrium with atmospheric carbon dioxide.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:74" href="#fn:74">74</a> These include <a href="/facts/Ocean_fertilization/slPNVRIf">ocean fertilization</a>, the purposeful introduction of plant <a href="/facts/Nutrient/34bn4skK">nutrients</a> to the upper ocean.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:75" href="#fn:75">75</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:76" href="#fn:76">76</a> While one of the more well-researched carbon dioxide removal approaches, ocean fertilization would only sequester carbon on a timescale of 10–100 years. While surface ocean acidity may decrease as a result of nutrient fertilization, sinking organic matter will remineralize, increasing deep ocean acidity. A 2021 report on CDR indicates that there is medium-high confidence that the technique could be efficient and scalable at low cost, with medium environmental risks.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:77" href="#fn:77">77</a> Ocean fertilization is estimated to be able to sequester 0.1 to 1 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide per year at a cost of US$8 to $80 per tonne.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:78" href="#fn:78">78</a>
<a href="/facts/Ocean_alkalinity_enhancement/GE7MrSPj">Ocean alkalinity enhancement</a> involves grinding, dispersing, and dissolving minerals such as olivine, limestone, silicates, or <a href="/facts/Calcium_hydroxide/Kz2KzRd8">calcium hydroxide</a> to precipitate carbonate sequestered as deposits on the ocean floor.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:79" href="#fn:79">79</a> The removal potential of alkalinity enhancement is uncertain, and estimated at between 0.1 and 1 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide per year at a cost of US$100 to $150 per tonne.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:80" href="#fn:80">80</a>
Electrochemical techniques such as <a href="/facts/Electrodialysis/jPUtEIMT">electrodialysis</a> can remove carbonate from seawater using electricity. While such techniques used in isolation are estimated to be able to remove 0.1 to 1 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide per year at a cost of US$150 to $2,500 per tonne,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:81" href="#fn:81">81</a> these methods are much less expensive when performed in conjunction with seawater processing such as <a href="/facts/Desalination/feP0m9wS">desalination</a>, where salt and carbonate are simultaneously removed.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:82" href="#fn:82">82</a> Preliminary estimates suggest that the cost of such carbon removal can be paid for in large part if not entirely from the sale of the desalinated water produced as a byproduct.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:83" href="#fn:83">83</a>

<h2 id="costs-and-economics">Costs and economics</h2>
Further information: <a href="/facts/Economics_of_climate_change_mitigation/Bd0As4P0">Economics of climate change mitigation</a>
The cost of CDR differs substantially depending on the maturity of the technology employed as well as the economics of both voluntary carbon removal markets and the physical output; for example, the pyrolysis of biomass produces biochar that has various commercial applications, including soil regeneration and wastewater treatment.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:84" href="#fn:84">84</a> In 2021 DAC cost from $250 to $600 per ton, compared to $100 for biochar and less than $50 for nature-based solutions, such as reforestation and afforestation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:85" href="#fn:85">85</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:86" href="#fn:86">86</a> The fact that biochar commands a higher price in the carbon removal market than nature-based solutions reflects the fact that it is a more durable sink with carbon being sequestered for hundreds or even thousands of years while nature-based solutions represent a more volatile form of storage, which risks related to forest fires, pests, economic pressures and changing political priorities.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:87" href="#fn:87">87</a> The Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon Offsetting states that to be compatible with the Paris Agreement: "...organizations must commit to gradually increase the percentage of carbon removal offsets they procure with the view of exclusively sourcing carbon removals by mid-century."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:88" href="#fn:88">88</a> These initiatives along with the development of new industry standards for engineered carbon removal, such as the Puro Standard, will help to support the growth of the carbon removal market.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:89" href="#fn:89">89</a>
Although CDR is not covered by the <a href="/facts/EU_Allowance/Tljhgugg">EU Allowance</a> as of 2021, the <a href="/facts/European_Commission/Cc5JgbEI">European Commission</a> is preparing for carbon removal certification and considering carbon <a href="/facts/Contract_for_difference/62BfEzRP">contracts for difference</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:90" href="#fn:90">90</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:91" href="#fn:91">91</a> CDR might also in future be added to the <a href="/facts/UK_Emissions_Trading_Scheme/UknEbne2">UK Emissions Trading Scheme</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:92" href="#fn:92">92</a> As of end 2021 carbon prices for both these cap-and-trade schemes currently based on carbon reductions, as opposed to carbon removals, remained below $100.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:93" href="#fn:93">93</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:94" href="#fn:94">94</a> After the diffusion of net-zero targets, CDR plays a more important role in key emerging economies (e.g. Brazil, China, and India).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:95" href="#fn:95">95</a>
As of early 2023, financing has fell short of the sums required for high-tech CDR methods to contribute significantly to climate change mitigation. Though available funds have recently increased substantially. Most of this increase has been from voluntary private sector initiatives.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:96" href="#fn:96">96</a> Such as a private sector alliance led by <a href="/facts/Stripe_(company)/edJLS72l">Stripe</a> with prominent members including <a href="/facts/Meta_Platforms/ylApt16y">Meta</a>, <a href="/facts/Google/GT9Sugza">Google</a> and <a href="/facts/Shopify/hN7LoGPn">Shopify</a>, which in April 2022 revealed a nearly $1 billion fund to reward companies able to permanently capture & store carbon. According to senior Stripe employee Nan Ransohoff, the fund was "roughly 30 times the carbon-removal market that existed in 2021. But it's still 1,000 times short of the market we need by 2050."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:97" href="#fn:97">97</a> The predominance of private sector funding has raised concerns as historically, voluntary markets have proved "orders of magnitude"<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:98" href="#fn:98">98</a> smaller than those brought about by government policy. As of 2023 however, various governments have increased their support for CDR; these include Sweden, Switzerland, and the US. Recent activity from the US government includes the June 2022 Notice of Intent to fund the <a href="/facts/Infrastructure_Investment_and_Jobs_Act/T64dfk69">Bipartisan Infrastructure Law</a>'s $3.5 billion CDR program, and the signing into law of the <a href="/facts/Inflation_Reduction_Act_of_2022/8Cdfo0tk">Inflation Reduction Act of 2022</a>, which contains the 45Q tax to enhance the CDR market.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:99" href="#fn:99">99</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:100" href="#fn:100">100</a>
