For carbon dioxide removal (CDR) advocates, 2023 was a year of exciting milestones as well as shared challenges. As carbon removal moves increasingly mainstream and enjoys significant federal and private sector investment, government, innovators, and nonprofits are working to set a foundation for responsible deployment. CDR has also faced its share of trials in 2023, as political instability stalled Farm Bill negotiations, delaying funding for critical CDR programs, and the Inflation Reduction Act broadly continued to be a point of debate for Congress.

There is a lot to be excited and hopeful about, so we put together some 2023 highlights below.
