The Roads to Removal report assesses key factors and pathways for physically removing CO2 from the air at the scale of gigaton per year, then storing it away from the atmosphere through either ecological or geological means. This gigaton CO2-removal target is the climate clean-up needed, in addition to dramatic reductions of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), if the United States is to reach net-zero carbon emissions by or before 2050. In this report, sixty-eight authors examine (1) forestry, (2) cropland soils, (3) biomass (such as agricultural waste or municipal trash), (4) direct air capture (machines that remove CO2 from the air), (5) transportation, (6) available zero- carbon energy, (7) geologic storage, and (8) environmental and socio-economic impacts. This integrates published data with original research on the major elements of negative emissions. Their granular analysis, with county-level resolution, shows that it is feasible for the United States to accomplish the carbon drawdown needed for net-zero emissions by the year 2050.
