We’re bridging the gap between policymakers and innovators working to remove carbon from our atmosphere.
The carbon removal era
The Carbon Removal Alliance is leading a new era of carbon removal advocacy. Guided by a team of veteran carbon removal leaders and strategists, we’re made up of more than 20 innovators and buyers deploying high-quality projects around the globe. We work to bring industry voices and better principles into the policymaking process, clearing the path for permanent carbon removal to reach scale, drive economic growth, and achieve climate goals.

A uniting voice in an ever-growing ecosystem
We’re not a typical trade association. As a public nonprofit, we bring together a select group of forward-thinking companies united by a vision of high-quality and permanent carbon removal. Together, we’re building a gigaton-scale industry that is categorically good for the climate, economy, and people.
We support carbon removal solutions that are:
Permanent
The carbon we remove must be stored on time periods comparable to the atmospheric lifetime of carbon emissions. We focus on policies that promote carbon removal with permanence of a thousand years or more.
Net negative
Carbon removal approaches must result in a net reduction in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, accounting for embodied emissions in each carbon removal project.
Additional
Each project must demonstrably result in carbon removal that would not have otherwise occurred without the project existing, ensuring an actualized impact on the climate.
Verifiable
Our members must adopt scientifically rigorous and transparent methods for monitoring, reporting, and verification.
Co-benefits
Carbon removal can deliver a wide range of benefits to local communities and ecosystems. We support the development of practices, policies, and programs that center community benefits and mitigate potential risks.

Policies
We design policies that reflect and address the challenges facing carbon removal companies today while setting high standards for the field.
Champions
Through regional analysis, site visits, and local campaigns, we make carbon removal projects specific and visible to policymakers on both sides of the aisle.
Scale
We work with policymakers, NGOs, corporations, scientists, and carbon removal companies to facilitate public-private partnerships and establish a trillion-dollar market for carbon removal.
Meet the builders
Alliance members are responsible for virtually all of the carbon dioxide permanently removed to date. They represent an emerging class of companies who are helping the U.S. meet its climate goals.
To address the climate crisis, we need to remove gigatons of carbon dioxide already emitted into the atmosphere — for good. Many companies, investors, and policymakers are stepping forward to meet this challenge, but the industry is still only a fraction of the size it needs to be. As it grows, communities stand to gain a lot from innovation and progress, including high-quality jobs and environmental co-benefits.
