Overview
One of the most critical gaps in further exploration, development, and testing of mCDR technologies is the very limited amount of financial resources being invested into the space.
Without exception, all mCDR technologies examined in these road maps need substantial increases in public, philanthropic, and private investment to accelerate technology development, de-risk technologies, and develop monitoring, reporting, and verification protocols. The global community of experts who participated in the scoping workshops for these road maps broadly agreed that mCDR pathways remain substantially underinvested given their potential to contribute to gigaton-scale, affordable CDR.
While there has been a recent uptick in public and private funding for CDR research, including mCDR, these investments still fall short of what is needed to assess mCDR’s potential climate impact. Funding needs to include scientific research and the development of a new suite of ocean monitoring tools and sensors, and investment in new policies and legislation that will allow for timely testing and evaluation of mCDR techniques.
Several initiatives, advanced market commitments, and prize competitions focused on CDR research play a crucial role in driving research, and complement existing government funding. Some notable examples include Frontier, Microsoft, XPRIZE, and 
to Sea (CDR.fyi).
