🤔 Did you know the U.S. DoE received $116.5m from Congress for CDR in 2026? 🤔

🇺🇸 I was shocked when I learnt this. My understanding was that the Department of Energy had gutted its CDR team and put everything on hold.

💵 Yet here were $45m for its purchase programme and $71.5m for R&D across CDR pathways. 

🤯 Honestly, a humble European cannot aspire to understand what this all means these days.

👩‍🏫 If someone can, however, it is Professor Jennifer Wilcox, who headed up the Carbon Management Department at the DoE from 2021-2024.

💚 Really thrilled to have her on the CDR Policy Scoop with Eve Tamme to make sense of what exactly is happening at the DoE and what she learnt from her years of spearheading some of the most pioneering carbon management programmes in the world.
