Global climate overshoot scenarios rely heavily on land-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR), but the IPCCs optimistic technical and economic potentials overlook the unquantified feasible potential shaped by socio-cultural, environmental, and institutional factors. This article proposes research frameworks to quantify this feasible potential, urging caution in using techno-economic CDR assessments for policymaking.
