An AEI policy paper on per-tonne evidentiary disclosure as a market-discipline instrument. Frame: 'conservative case for open CDR data'.
Why this recipient benefits: Zycher has been sceptical of climate regulation but sympathetic to market-discipline arguments. Property-based per-tonne evidentiary disclosure is exactly the market-discipline instrument he would recognise — it prevents taxpayer exposure, enables price discovery on quality, and does not prescribe technology. A Zycher-authored AEI policy paper frames the conservative case for open CDR data.
Why now: Policy-window alignment with FY27 federal procurement debates.
The ask: AEI Economic Policy Studies paper. Zycher authorship; Trellison provides technical substrate.
AEI's market-discipline frame is the single strongest non-climate argument for proof-pack disclosure. Fiduciary and disclosure rigour, not climate ambition, is the winning argument for a conservative audience.
