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.
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.
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.
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.
Mapping Multi-Level Policy Incentives for Bioenergy With Carbon Capture and Storage in Sweden
This paper asks to what extent and how existing UN, EU, and Swedish climate policy instruments incentivize BECCS research, development, demonstration, and deployment in Sweden.
Land Use and Agriculture: Pitfalls and Precautions on the Road to Net Zero
This paper examines some of the major risks, applicable safeguards, and potential pathways for agriculture and land use in realizing net zero emissions targets.
