This brief aims to explain the underlying energy justice and corporate accountability principles of the Carbon Takeback Obligation, and their role in creation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) policy. It addresses calls by advocates to shift attention upstream to focus on supply-side climate policy possibilities and hold producers accountable for their emissions.
