This study uses machine learning to conduct a large-scale systematic mapping of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) research, identifying nearly 29,000 relevant studies 3–4 times more than previously estimated. It reveals that CDR research is highly concentrated in specific options like biochar, dominated by technology-focused experimental studies, and disproportionately located in China and OECD countries. The study provides an open-access database to support climate assessments and policy decisions, including future IPCC reports.
