This Week in CDR - Week 32, 2025

We are back with another edition of This Week in CDR, a weekly round-up of the top news, developments, and market updates from the world of durable carbon removal.

This week saw some key developments in durable CDR, as the UK saw its first BECCS facility get greenlit, while a public survey revealed the UK’s preferences for CDR policies and Meta, along with Georgia Tech and CuspAI released a new database to help identify sorbents in Direct Air Capture technologies.

We recently released the 2025 Q2 Durable CDR Market Update, in which we analyze and uncover some key trends from the durable carbon removal market. In addition to the blog post, a more extensive report exclusive to our Data Partners and Platform Subscribers is available through the CDR.fyi Portal. Sign up for a Portal account here.
