Thyssenkrupp Pledge
Germany's largest steelmaker announced it would be climate neutral by 2050 and will pursue several measures that includes capturing emissions from steel mills and converting them into useful chemicals.
Measuring, Modeling, Controlling the Climate? Numerical Expertise in U.S. Climate Engineering Politics
Drawing on empirical evidence from federal proceedings, this paper assesses how climate measures, models, targets, and thresholds have shaped the trajectory of geoengineering within U.S. climate policy between 1990 and 2015.
Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement: Current state of knowledge and potential role of philanthropy
This document discusses the current knowledge and knowledge gaps relating to the local and global application of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE), with a section on the governance considerations associated with the science and technology of OAE.
Rich man’s solution? Climate engineering discourses and the marginalization of the Global South
This article maps a lack of involvement of developing countries in the climate engineering discourse and highlights the degree to which their concerns remain insufficiently represented in politically significant scientific assessment reports.
Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, and direct air carbon capture and storage: Examining the evidence on deployment potential and costs in the UK
This paper explores the deployment potential and costs of both BECCS and DACCS in the UK, and how these might compare with other regions.
A.2718 – Carbon Farming Tax Credit
This bill establishes a tax credit for farmers who maximize carbon sequestration potential through a "carbon farming" land management strategy.
The hidden politics of climate engineering
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.
S. 6599 – Climate Leadership and Community Protect Act
This bill enacts the New York State Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) that sets a statewide target of net zero GHG emissions by 2050 and allows for the use of offset projects to meet the last 15 percent of emission reductions.
Fuel to the Fire: How Geoengineering Threatens to Entrench Fossil Fuels and Accelerate the Climate Crisis
This report investigates the early, ongoing, and often surprising role of the fossil fuel industry in developing, patenting, and promoting key geoengineering technologies.
HeidelbergCement Pledge
The company has a stated goal for carbon neutral concrete by "2050 at the latest" and seeks to do so by continuing to develop new technologies for carbon sequestration and use in the cement-making process.
