Engineering CDR — CCS & Direct Air Capture

Engineered removal pathways demand a different evidentiary substrate than nature-based approaches. These researchers lead the material science, thermodynamic modeling, and policy frameworks for CCS and Direct Air Capture — the categories where proof-pack chain-of-custody is easiest to audit and hardest to fake.

Why this axis matters

Engineered removal pathways demand a different evidentiary substrate than nature-based approaches. These researchers lead the material science, thermodynamic modeling, and policy frameworks for CCS and Direct Air Capture — the categories where proof-pack chain-of-custody is easiest to audit and hardest to fake.

Researchers tracked — Engineering CDR — CCS & Direct Air Capture

Tier 2Engineering CDR
Dr. Julio Friedmann
Carbon Direct (Chief Scientist)
Most cited voice in industrial decarbonization and CO2 utilization. Carbon Direct already audits CDR — they are the closest existing competitor to what LedgerWell does, or the best partner.

Tier 2Engineering CDR
Howard Herzog
MIT Energy Initiative
Coordinating lead author of IPCC Special Report on CCS. The institutional memory of the field.

Tier 2Engineering CDR
Dr. Klaus Lackner
Arizona State University — Center for Negative Carbon Emissions
Coined DAC in 1999. Mechanical Trees IP. Elder statesman.

Tier 2Engineering CDR
Dr. Jennifer Wilcox
US DOE FECM (Principal Deputy Asst Secretary)
Wrote the first carbon-capture textbook (2012). Runs the federal purse for DAC/CCS. Her shift from U Penn/WRI to DOE means she's the policy decision point.
