Roadmap for biotechnology in carbon dioxide removal

Atmospheric carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is likely required at large scale to meet society's climate goals, which will require it to scale to one of the largest global industries.

CDR has grown from a niche area to a focus of expanded R&D and policy support very rapidly in the past few years. Biotechnology is among the most rapidly advancing fields of technology, and is relevant to CDR. However, the two fields currently have very little overlap or mutual collaboration. 

The goal of this roadmap is to increase research, funding, and growth of community at the intersection of CDR and biotechnology.

This roadmap was prepared with funding from Additional Ventures, in partnership with Innovative Genomics Institute at UC Berkeley.
