Govern CO2 removal from the ground up

2019

Scholarly Work

Rob Bellamy, Oliver Geden

This article argues that policymakers must acknowledge that carbon dioxide removal can be small in scale and still be relevant for climate policy, that it will primarily emerge ‘bottom up’, and that different methods have different governance needs.

The hidden politics of climate engineering

2019

Scholarly Work

Sikina Jinnah, Simon Nicholson

This paper identifies how governments must develop mechanisms to provide policy-relevant knowledge, clarify uncertainties and head off potential distributional impacts on climate engineering governance.

Challenges and Opportunities of Bioenergy With Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) for Communities

Scholarly Work

Holly Jean Buck

This paper looks at what research governance on BECCS says about policy relevant to community scale challenges and opportunities.

Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Parkland Forest Management Framework

2013

Policy Proposal

Philadelphia Parks and Recreation

Philadelphia’s Parks and Recreation has adopted a comprehensive parkland forest management plan that expressly recognizes the value of carbon sequestered in the city's green spaces and adopts management programs to sequester additional carbon.

The Changing Legislation and Regulation of Carbon Capture and Storage: Impacts on Purpose, Policy, and Projects

2012

Scholarly Work

Michael G. Massicotte, Alan L. Ross, Chidinma B. Thompson

This article considers the impact of the Carbon Capture and Storage Statutes Amendment Act, 2010 legislation and potential inter-jurisdictional conflicts, and briefly compares the CCS legislation of other jurisdictions with Alberta’s legislation.

The Politics of Negative Emissions Technologies and Decarbonization in Rural Communities

2018

Scholarly Work

Holly Jean Buck

This paper analyzes prospective challenges for negative emissions through examining how decarbonization practices are evolving in one particular landscape: the Imperial Valley in southeast California, a desert landscape engineered for agriculture.

Think Tank Report

Design Assurance Sciences

This report, developed in support of the CarbonSAFE initiative, was assembled to assist in identifying local, state, and national regulatory and policy positions impacting the establishment of a CCS storage complex.

Climate Change and Carbon Sequestration: Assessing a Liability Regime for the Long-term Storage of Carbon Dioxide

2008

Scholarly Work

Alexandra B. Klass, Elizabeth J. Wilson

This article surveys the existing environmental law and tort law liability regimes that may cover potential harm from escaping or migrating C02 from CCS activities.

Evaluation of the Opportunities for Generating Carbon Offsets from Soil Sequestration of Biochar

2010

Scholarly Work

Steven De Gryze, Michael Cullen , Leslie Durschinger

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the issues involved in generating carbon offsets from the production and incorporation of biochar into soil, with a focus on the use of biochar in the United States.
