I categorically disagree with claims that CO₂ removal (CDR) is a scam. The field is full of smart people dedicated to figuring out what, if anything, works, because we’ll need CDR in the future for legacy and residual emissions. Funding via market mechanisms isn’t ideal, but doesn’t make it a scam.

Lets be a little careful here; while it seems to be the case that there have been real performance challenges, it is also not uncommon that other clean energy technologies (EVs, solar panels, etc.) take a year or two of operation to pay off their embodied emissions:
