Probably the two most telling phrases:

“Almost all scenarios that limit warming to 1.5°C or 2°C require novel CDR.”

“Virtually all current CDR (99.9% or 2 GtCO₂ per year) comes from conventional management of land, primarily via afforestation and reforestation.

Only a tiny fraction (0.1% or 0.002 GtCO₂ per year) results from novel CDR methods which involve storing captured carbon in the lithosphere, ocean or products.”

So, long way to go if we think this is what we need.
