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.

A Post-Paris Literature Review of Negative Emissions Technology, and Potential for Ireland

2018
Scholarly Work
Paul Price, Alwynne McGeever, Mike Jones , Barry McMullin
This report presents a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the potential forms of negative emissions technology (NET), with a particular focus on technology options suitable for deployment in Ireland.

Technological Carbon Removal in the United States

2018
Think Tank Report
James Mulligan, Gretchen Ellison, Kelly Levin, Colin McCormick
This paper explores the potential for technological carbon removal in the United States, identifies the needs likely to arise on the pathway to large-scale deployment, and considers way to begin addressing those needs.

Negative Emission Technologies: What Role in Meeting Paris Agreement Targets?

2018
Think Tank Report
European Academies Science Advisory Council
This report brings together experts from the European Academies Science Advisory Council to review the available technologies for carbon dioxide removal and how they frame the EU's position within the Paris Agreement.

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.

Governing Large-Scale Carbon Dioxide Removal: Are We Ready?

2018
Think Tank Report
Carnegie Climate Geoengineering Governance Initiative (C2G2)
This report focuses on the governance mechanisms in place that can begin to address CDR at the necessary scale as well as what governance gaps remain to deploy CDR at scale.

Carbon Removal and Solar Geoengineering: Potential implications for delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals

2018
Think Tank Report
Carnegie Climate Geoengineering Governance Initiative (C2G2)
This report explores the potential implications which two groups of experimental technologies aimed at managing global climate risk, known as Carbon Removal and Solar Geoengineering, could have for delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Greenhouse Gas Removal

2018
Scientific Report
Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering
This report presents the findings from an exploration of the opportunities and barriers for greenhouse gas removal methods in both a UK and global context.

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.

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage: From global potentials to domestic realities

2018
Think Tank Report
Edited by Mathias Fridahl
This book explores the role of BECCS in climate governance and brings together a range of policy-relevant perspectives from global modeling efforts, climate diplomats' views, and UN and European climate policymaking.

Building a New Carbon Economy: An Innovation Plan

2018
Think Tank Report
Carbon180
This report presents an innovation plan that outlines the contours of a new carbon economy using carbon removal technologies and identifies the social, legal, economic and political research gaps of each technology.
