You can state this very briefly in your own language, based on why you think the bill should be made into law. But here are a few key points that are important that you can use:

  • Climate scientists agree that carbon dioxide removal is a critical piece of solving the climate crisis, along with clean energy.
  • Colorado should lead on CDR now, because it will help our state identify new tool to meet our climate commitments, and attract carbon removal companies and projects to ou rstate. 
  • As law, the act will direct the state to complete a comprehensive roadmap to identify carbon removal potential in the state, and formulate a strategy to support carbon removal growth in Colorado.
