Making Negative Emissions Economically Feasible: The View from California
This paper identifies how amendments to California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard would create the first substantial payment system for negative emissions.
Carbon Removal in Forests and Farms in the United States
The purpose of this paper is to explore the potential for carbon removal in forests and farms in the United States, to identify needs likely to arise on the pathway to large-scale deployment, and to consider ways to begin addressing those needs.
