Key takeaways:

• Currently no systemic link between project siting and low-income or BIPOC communities.

• Site-specific risks underscore the need for place-based engagement.

• Insights inform equitable siting, policy, investment, and benefit-sharing practices as the nascent carbon removal industry scales.
