The case for federal procurement of carbon removal
There is unprecedented action on carbon removal in the US today. The bipartisan infrastructure deal of 2021 included billions of dollars for direct air capture (DAC) and forestry.

Most recently,the FY22 omnibus brought the total federal investment in carbon removal this year to over a billion dollars across solutions.
