Clearing the Air: A Federal RD&D Initiative and Management Plan for Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies
This report provides a set of recommendations and detailed implementation plans for a 10-year, $10.7 billion research, development, and demonstration initiative in the United States to bring new pathways for technological CDR to commercial readiness.
The UK net-zero target: Insights into procedural justice for greenhouse gas removal
This study comprises an analysis of relevant legislation, combined with a series of interviews conducted in the community of Selby (a proposed location for BECCS development), to investigate procedural justice in the context of carbon removal.
Biomass, afforestation and energy demand reduction: trade-offs in the route to decarbonisation
This paper explores the sensitivity of energy system decarbonization pathways to the role of afforestation and reduced energy demands as a means to lessen reliance on carbon dioxide removal.
Contested framings of greenhouse gas removal and its feasibility: Social and political dimensions
This paper conducts a review of the international peer-reviewed literature pertaining to the social and political dimensions of large-scale CDR, with a specific focus on two predominant approaches: BECCS and afforestation/reforestation.
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.
