US states implement policy frameworks to advance carbon dioxide removal markets
US state governments are establishing policy frameworks to scale the carbon dioxide removal (CDR) sector, addressing structural supply deficits and regulatory uncertainties at the national level. California has deployed dedicated funding through its Carbon Removal Innovation Support Programme, while Washington State embedded engineered carbon management into its legal framework via the Climate Commitment Act and Cap-and-Invest Programme. Massachusetts is evaluating coastal and marine CDR deployment through state-backed study initiatives. These subnational actions provide predictable regulatory pathways and regional demand drivers for early-stage CDR developers, establishing replicable frameworks for commercial off-take contracts and mitigating capital risks.
