Carbon Dioxide Removal


Ocean and Coastal CDR

Ocean based carbon dioxide removal methods include ocean alkalinization or enhancement, ocean up-welling, and enhanced kelp farming. Coastal blue carbon is the carbon captured by living coastal and marine organisms and stored in coastal ecosystems, such as salt marshes, mangroves, and seagrass beds.

Impacts of Climate-Related Geoengineering on Biological Diversity

2012
Scientific Report
Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity
This study compiles and synthesizes available scientific information on the possible impacts of a range of geoengineering techniques on biodiversity, including preliminary information on associated social, economic and cultural considerations.

A comparative global assessment of potential negative emissions technologies

2012
Scholarly Work
Duncan McLaren
This paper provides a global assessment of around 30 prospective NETs, drawing conclusions on how NETs will contribute to safe carbon budgets, the governance challenges of NETs, and the potential role of carbon markets.

IPCC Expert Meeting on Geoengineering

2011
Scientific Report
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
This meeting report summarizes discussions of three Working Groups to the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) on geoengineering, including carbon dioxide removal.

A Coordinated Strategy Could Focus Federal Geoengineering Research and Inform Governance Efforts

2010
Scientific Report
United States Government Accountability Office
This report examines the state of geoengineering science, federal involvement in geoengineering, the extent to which federal laws and international agreements apply to geoengineering, and any governance challenges around geoengineering activities.

Geoengineering the Climate: Science, Governance and Uncertainty

2009
Scientific Report
The Royal Society
This report presents an independent scientific review of the range of geoengineering methods and introduces and addresses the key policy questions surrounding geoengineering that the international community needs to confront.

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.

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.

Governance and Equity in the Development and Deployment of Negative Emissions Technologies

2012
Scholarly Work
Duncan McLaren
This paper presents a summary of results of the global assessment of the negative emission technologies (NETs) undertaken by the author for Friends of the Earth in the UK, with a focus on identified environmental justice and governance issues.

Considerations of Justice in Assessment and Appraisal of Negative Emissions Technologies

2012
Scholarly Work
Duncan P. Mclaren
This paper identifies several justice implications arising from the potential moral hazard in the development of NETs, the distribution of geological storage for carbon dioxide, and the competition for biological productivity for negative emissions.
