From what I am reading, the agencies we might imagine as having a role in direct research have been almost completely stripped of that capability over the last few decades by relentless budget cutting. So the entire focus of CDR development nowadays seems to be two forks: policy initiatives to create market incentives for CDR activities, and grant programs to fund basic research by large and small organizations (with the basic capability to pursue grants). For sure some of that is being siphoned into oil companies.
