Carbon Dioxide Removal


BECCS

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a technique where biomass is grown and converted into electricity, heat, or fuel, and the carbon emissions from this conversion are captured and stored in geological formations or embedded in long-lasting products. The capture and storage process is similar to the approach in a carbon capture and storage facility connected to a fossil fuel power plant.

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, and direct air carbon capture and storage: Examining the evidence on deployment potential and costs in the UK

2019
Think Tank Report
The UK Energy Research Centre
This paper explores the deployment potential and costs of both BECCS and DACCS in the UK, and how these might compare with other regions.

Achieving NET ZERO: Farming’s 2040 Goal

2019
Think Tank Report
National Farmers Union
This report outlines the NFU's approach to achieving a climate neutral goal for farming, and the specific policies, mechanisms and support required from government in order to help farmers achieve a net-zero target.

Rich man’s solution? Climate engineering discourses and the marginalization of the Global South

2019
Scholarly Work
Frank Biermann, Ina Möller
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.

Carbon Dioxide Removal Geoengineering

2018
Scholarly Work
Kerryn Brent, Jan McDonald, Jeffrey McGee , Brendan Gogarty
Using case studies of BECCS and ocean fertilization CDR techniques, this article examines the capacity of current Australian law to govern CDR research.

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.

The Challenge of Carbon Dioxide Removal for EU Policy-Making

2018
Scholarly Work
Vivian Scott , Oliver Geden
This paper discusses the challenge that carbon dioxide removal presents to the European Union's low-carbon policy.

Governance of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS): Accounting, Rewarding and the Paris Agreement

2018
Scholarly Work
Asbjørn Torvanger
This paper focuses on governance aspects of BECCS with the aim to identify pragmatic ways forward for the technology.

How Low Can We Go? The Implications of Delayed Ratcheting and Negative Emissions Technologies on Achieving Well Below 2 °C

2018
Scholarly Work
Matthew Winning, Steve Pye, James Glynn, Daniel Scamman, Daniel Welsby
This chapter considers the impacts of delaying ratcheting-up commitments until 2030 on global emissions trajectories towards 2 °C and 1.5 °C, and the role of offsets via negative emissions technologies.

‘Slippery slope’ or ‘uphill struggle’? Broadening out expert scenarios of climate engineering research and development

2018
Scholarly Work
Rob Bellamy, Peter Healey
This article suggests that the governance challenges for climate engineering should be thought of as less of a slippery slope than an ‘uphill struggle’ and that there is a need for governance that incentivizes, rather than constrains, research.

The role of CCS in meeting climate policy targets: Understanding the potential contribution of CCS to a low carbon world, and the policies that may support that contribution

2018
Think Tank Report
Paul Ekins, Nick Hughes, Steve Pye, Matthew Winning, Richard Macrory, Ben Milligan, Stuart Haszeldine, Jim Watson
This Global CCS Institute commissioned report examines novel or adaptive CCS legal and regulatory frameworks in other countries and attempts to draw lessons around issues in deployment from case studies of analogous technologies and systems.
