This brief presents the results from the first national survey on public preferences for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) policy in the United Kingdom. To meet the UK’s national net zero target, the UK must scale CDR methods to remove 66 million tonnes of CO2 annually by 2050 to compensate for emissions elsewhere in the economy. While the Government has supported CDR, crucial questions remain as to how proposed policies will be funded. Based on a nationally representative survey of 2,110 adults, we find broad public support for fossil fuel producers to bear the costs for funding CDR, with the public preferring compliance-based policies over voluntary measures.
