Governance of land-based negative-emission technologies to promote biodiversity conservation: lessons from Australia
This paper argues that domestic laws should be used to maximize the benefits of NETs while minimizing trade-offs for biodiversity.
Barriers to Negative-Emissions Technologies
This commentary asks: Which of the practical, economic, socio-political or ethical challenges presents the greatest barrier to the deployment of Paris Agreement-compatible NETs?
Buildings as a Global Carbon Sink? A Reality Check on Feasibility Limits
This commentary reflects on the capacity of global forests to supply bio-based building materials that store carbon as a climate solution.
Carbon capture and storage: Intellectual property, innovation policy, and climate change
This chapter focuses upon technology development in respect to carbon capture and storage – exploring intellectual property, government funding, and innovation prizes, and whether or not such incentives have been productive.
Negative-Emission Technologies and Patent Rights after COVID-19
This article proposes various measures that can be adopted by national governments and private funders to minimize any forthcoming worldwide conflicts that will arise over balancing innovation incentives for, and affordable access to, patented NETs.
Proposed regulation establishing the framework for achieving climate neutrality and amending Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 (European Climate Law)
Article 2 of this regulatory proposal sets the EU 2050 climate-neutrality objectives, recognizing that removals of greenhouse gases will be needed to compensate for emissions from sectors where decarbonization is the most challenging.
Royal Dutch Shell Pledge
Royal Dutch Shell plans to offset its own emissions by trapping as much carbon as its business operations cause through new carbon capture technologies or through nature-based solutions such as forestation.
Managing Land-based CDR: BECCS, Forests and Carbon Sequestration
This paper proposes policy measures for integrating land-based CDR approaches - under which circumstances forest areas are best left undisturbed, managed for conservation or wood products, and how these options affect the deployment of BECCS.
Congressional Testimony of Jason Albritton, The Nature Conservancy
Testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Environment and Climate Change on "Clearing the Air: Legislation to Promote Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage."
Lessons from Renewable Energy Diffusion for Carbon Dioxide Removal Development
This paper focuses on price regulations, typically in the form of price subsidies (FITs) or tenders (competitive auctions), in developing carbon dioxide removal technologies.
