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.

Global Climate Governance: The Politics of Terrestrial Carbon Mitigation in the Paris Agreement

2018
Scholarly Work
Kate Dooley
This thesis analyses the contested politics of including (and accounting for) land-based mitigation in a post-2020 climate agreement, and the consequences for future mitigation pathways over the course of this century.

Beyond carbon pricing: policy levers for negative emissions technologies

2018
Scholarly Work
Emily Cox, Neil Robert Edwards
This paper identifies a number of existing policies from four key areas – energy/transport, agriculture, sub-soil, and oceans – which will have an impact on BECCs, DAC, and Enhanced Weathering, and proposes policy that could be implemented near-term.
