Novel CDR: All other methods, storing captured carbon in the lithosphere (geological formations), ocean or products. Generally at a TRL below 8–9, these methods are currently deployed at smaller scales. Examples include Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS), biochar and ocean alkalinization.

Global novel carbon dioxide removals per year 2020-2023, by method
In 2023, the largest contributions to novel carbon dioxide removals (CDR) worldwide were from biochar, at **** MtCOâ‚‚. Removals from biochar almost quadrupled between 2021 and 2023. The second-largest contributor to novel CDR in 2023 was bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, or BECCS, at roughly *** MtCOâ‚‚. Removals from this method have remained relatively stable since 2020. Combined, biochar and BECCS currently account for more than ** percent of novel CDR.
