The database, which is publicly available at cdrlaw.org , provides an annotated bibliography of legal materials related to carbon dioxide removal and carbon sequestration and use . The site has 530 resources on legal issues related to carbon dioxide removal, including such techniques as: direct air capture; enhanced weathering; afforestation/reforestation; bioenergy with carbon capture and storage; biochar; ocean and coastal carbon dioxide removal; ocean iron fertilization; and soil carbon sequestration.
