Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) as well as carbon dioxide removal (CDR) are important strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. CCUS and CDR use technological and nature-based approaches to remove carbon dioxide from the air or from emissions sources like power plants and cement plants. The draft rulemaking concepts identify potential standardized definitions for CCUS and CDR, as well as initial regulatory concepts for reporting, monitoring, financial responsibility, and protocols that further support CCUS and CDR inclusion in California's climate policies.
