CDR.fyi just published Mapping Certified Durable Carbon Removal in the United States | CDR.fyi.
CDR.fyi has published an analysis of US durable carbon removal projects that have received issued credits through the Puro.earth and Isometric registries as of June 20, 2026. The dataset covers 40 projects with roughly 850,000 tonnes of net CO2e removals issued between 2022 and mid-2026. Annual issuances grew from 29,000 tonnes in 2023 to 460,000 tonnes in 2025, a compound annual growth rate near 298 percent. Biochar dominates certified deployment so far, projects are spread across multiple regions rather than clustering in innovation hubs, and most sit in smaller communities where feedstock availability and existing industry shape siting. The analysis deliberately excludes announced, under-construction, uncertified, and pilot facilities.
Our take (Useful): Focusing on issued credits rather than announcements is the right lens - it filters hype and shows what has actually delivered. But the scope is narrow: only two registries, so certified volumes via other standards are invisible, and the biochar dominance partly reflects which pathways those registries certify fastest. Growth rates from a small base should be read with care.
