The authors present a typology of barriers to geological GGR deployment based on literature and evidence. Key barriers to deployment are the lack of inherent demand for removals, access to finance, and lack of regulatory support frameworks (e.g. for accounting, and Monitoring, Reporting and Verification). The authors identify three categories of policy interventions to address these barriers and set out three Policy Bundles to enable the scaling up of geological GGR.
