This paper investigates the potential application of various carbon dioxide removal strategies within Saudi Arabia. It evaluates both traditional and innovative carbon dioxide removal solutions using a multi-criteria decision analysis approach. The study defines performance, economic, and environmental criteria, including factors such as technology readiness, CO2 permanence, costs, environmental impacts, and socio-economic benefits. The analysis identifies five key groups of carbon dioxide removals for prioritization in Saudi Arabia including DAC, BECCS and biochar.
