The emissions associated with the system response to CDR energy demand must be considered for energy-intensive approaches. This component is less of a concern if a CDR project builds its own renewables, or if project energy demand is dispatchable in a way that supports grid deployment of renewables. If a CDR project introduces a new base load or is otherwise connected to the grid in a manner that could displace demand for renewables, any emissions associated with the energy system response must be considered. There is not yet a clear best practice for how to account for this system interaction.
