California SB285 aims to regulate carbon dioxide removal to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions.

California SB285 seeks to regulate carbon dioxide removal to counterbalance greenhouse gas emissions. The bill outlines that emissions from fossil fuels and short-lived climate pollutants can be offset by carbon dioxide removal with carbon sequestration. It mandates that only qualified carbon dioxide removal, which uses biomass from agricultural residues, forestry residues, or municipal organic waste, can be used to counterbalance emissions. The bill also emphasizes the importance of durable carbon dioxide removal to achieve net zero emissions.
