I categorically disagree with claims that CO₂ removal (CDR) is a scam. The field is full of smart people dedicated to figuring out what, if anything, works, because we’ll need CDR in the future for legacy and residual emissions. Funding via market mechanisms isn’t ideal, but doesn’t make it a scam.

The UK/EU agreement today includes linking the UK and EU's carbon pricing systems (known as Emissions Trading Systems). A couple of observations... 1) If it wasn't already clear, this makes it obvious that the UK's commitment to net zero and its access to European markets are closely linked

Working towards linking Emission Trading Systems of the European Union and the United Kingdom
34. The European Commission and the United Kingdom share the view that a functioning link
between carbon markets would address many of the issues raised in respect of trade and a
level playing field and would give effect to Article 392(6) of the Trade and Cooperation
Agreement. This link should not constrain the European Union and the United Kingdom from
pursuing higher environmental ambition, consistent with their international obligations.
35. Therefore, the United Kingdom and the European Commission should work towards
establishing a link between carbon markets by way of a European Union-United Kingdom
agreement linking the United Kingdom Emission Trading Scheme (UK ETS) and the European
Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS).
36. Regarding its territorial scope, this agreement should be appropriately articulated with the
provisions of the Windsor Framework.
37. The agreement to link the UK ETS and EU ETS should create the conditions for goods
originating in our jurisdictions to benefit from mutual exemptions from the respective
European Union and United Kingdom Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms subject to
compliance with the relevant provisions of European Union and United Kingdom legislation.

Lets be a little careful here; while it seems to be the case that there have been real performance challenges, it is also not uncommon that other clean energy technologies (EVs, solar panels, etc.) take a year or two of operation to pay off their embodied emissions:
