Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) will be needed at scale in all scenarios that achieve the goal of the Paris agreement to limit warming to 1.5°C by 2050. To achieve its net-zero commitments, the UK needs to develop a CDR sector of at least 100 MtCO2 per year by 2050, split between technical removals at 60 MtCO2 and nature-based removals (NBS) at 40 MtCO2. The technical removal target is on a par with the present size of the UK water sector and requires infrastructure, business model, and a regulatory framework development to incentivise investment in 25 years from virtually a standing start. This report delves into the insights generated from a workshop held in London in January 2025 to explore what, from the perspective of a firm, the UK CDR sector will need in order to scale up from 2026. The workshop participants aimed to address the following questions: 1) What are the challenges and priority needs for market actors in the UK CDR sector post-2026 to 2050? And 2) What might the 2026–2035 technical, institutional, governance, organizational, policy and enabling ecosystem look like to address these needs?
