By 2024, and before any engineered removals are deployed at scale in the UK, government must put in a place an independent monitoring regime. This must:

• be robust, transparent and instil public and investor confidence
• ensure that any removals are genuine and verifiable, including putting in place a monitoring, reporting and verification regime
• account for the full lifecycle emissions of technologies, regardless of whether those emissions occurred inside or outside the UK
• be consistent with the principles to protect the natural environment set out in the Environment Bill.
