Overview
This analysis, conducted independently by Rhodium Group, is the most comprehensive look at the carbon removal sector's economic opportunities. Rhodium Group's analysis shows that a carbon removal industry capable of removing 100 million metric tons of carbon emissions per year would add between 95,000 and 130,000 lasting jobs across the United States.
These jobs span states, disciplines, and ecosystems, all while generating positive co-benefits for communities including improved soil health, increased crop productivity, reduced wildfire risks, enhanced protection for coral reefs, and more.
