Bill overview
This bill aims to regulate the use of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to help California achieve its net-zero greenhouse gas emissions goal. It would limit the types of CDR that can be used to offset emissions, requiring them to be ‘qualified’ and meeting specific durability standards. The bill also seeks to align CDR practices with existing state programs and clarify how CDR should be accounted for in emissions reporting, specifically addressing the distinction between CDR and carbon capture/storage technologies.
