🏛️ On the dawn of Donald Trump’s inauguration next week, the future trajectory of federal CDR policy is a hotly debated topic. I’ve got you covered with a detailed article featured in today’s Carbonfuture Magazine: “Carbon Removal Policy in Trump’s Second Term: What to Expect”.
🔎 In my analysis, I present the status quo, Trump’s stance on CDR, as well as his presidency’s expected impact on existing policies, federal departments, and new legislation.
💰 Spoiler Alert: It’s not all doom and gloom. Despite the aggressive anti-climate rhetoric, we anticipate core CDR policy such as the 45Q tax credits and the DAC Hubs programme to remain intact. New opportunities could also arise, particularly for enhanced weathering and biochar carbon removal.
🪓 What we expect is mainly a change in narrative, not in substance. CDR will need to “rebrand” itself from a climate solution towards an economic opportunity, an essential tool to prevent disasters like wildfires, and one of the best options available to save U.S. soils..
🤩 In parallel, we will see a rise in state level CDR policy in states like California, Texas, Washington, and Massachusetts, who will be leading the way with innovative policy, paving the path for future federal advancements.

❓What is your take? Which direction do you believe CDR policy will take in the coming four years?
