This report evaluates the options and costs for Microsoft to purchase long-term carbon dioxide (CO2) removal on the approximate scale of 5–6 million metric tons annually by 2030. The scope was largely limited to interventions within the United States, given the resources and expertise of the authors. However, some conclusions may be broadly applicable to carbon markets globally.
