Legal Issues in Oceanic Transport of Carbon Dioxide for Sequestration
This report examines the potentially applicable laws to the use of ships to transport carbon dioxide that has been captured in Europe to the United States for sequestration.
Limits to Paris Compatibility of CO2 Capture and Utilization
This paper finds that for a CCU technology to be Paris Agreement compatible by 2030, it has to have low GHG emissions from CO2 capture and conversion, replace a GHG-intensive substitute, and in most cases lead to permanent storage.
Fair distributions of carbon dioxide removal obligations and implications for effective national net-zero targets
This paper looks at the implications that an equity perspective could have on national and regional obligations for negative emissions and the respective timings of net-zero targets.
Fair-share carbon dioxide removal increases major emitter responsibility
This paper applies two common burden-sharing principles to show how CDR responsibility could be shared between regions in 1.5 °C and 2 °C mitigation pathways.
Strategies for mitigation of climate change: a review
This article reviews the main strategies for climate change abatement, including a comprehensive section on negative emission technologies; the current state of development, perceived limitations and risks as well as social and policy implications.
Potential for large-scale CO2 removal via enhanced rock weathering with croplands
This article identifies how the deployment of enhanced rock weathering within existing croplands offers opportunities to align agriculture and climate policy, while needing to overcome political inertia to develop regulatory and incentive frameworks.
Once a Fringe Idea, Geoengineering Moves to Center Stage in Policy Arena
This edited transcript from an Environmental Law Institute webinar looks at potential domestic U.S. legal governance structures and the international institutions that might be applicable to governing carbon dioxide removal.
The Role of CCS in the Paris Agreement and its Article 6
This paper reviews the role of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement in enabling countries to meet the objectives they have set themselves in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), with particular emphasis on how it can impact CCS.
