Carbon Dioxide Removal

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) techniques, or negative emission technologies (NETs), are a suite of natural and technological pathways to remove and sequester carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air. Unlike carbon capture and storage, these techniques remove CO₂ directly from the atmosphere or enhance natural carbon sinks.

The Paradox of Regulating Negative Emissions Technologies Under US Environmental Laws

2018
Scholarly Work
Tracy D. Hester
This article explores why federal and state legislatures and agencies should explicitly declare how (or if) current environmental laws will apply to NETs and provide guidance to the public and stakeholders.

The Politics and Governance of Negative Emissions Technologies

2018
Scholarly Work
Klaus Radunsky
This paper proposes that a limited use of geoengineering should help meet the goals of the Paris Agreement provided that decarbonization is significantly accelerated beyond the plans included in current National Determined Contributions.

Targeting Carbon Dioxide Removal in the European Union

2018
Scholarly Work
Oliver Geden, Glen P. Peters, Vivian Scott
This paper assesses how best to ‘target’ carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to motivate EU policymakers exploring which CDR target strategy may work best to start dealing with CDR on a meaningful scale.

Carbon Dioxide Removal and Tradeable Put Options at Scale

2018
Scholarly Work
Andrew Lockley , D’Maris Coffman
This paper discusses the use of option contracts in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) markets and how they can encourage rapid investment in CDR technology and in operational capacity.

U.S. House of Representatives Resolution (H. CON. RES. 137)

2018
Declaration
Representative Jamie Raskin
Resolution from Representative Raskin discussing the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Challenges to the Use of BECCS as a Keystone Technology in Pursuit of 1.5ºC

2018
Scholarly Work
Clair Gough, Samira Garcia-Freites, Christopher Jones, Sarah Mander, Brendan Moore, Cristina Pereira, Mirjam Röder, Naomi Vaughan, Andrew Welfle
This paper explores six key challenges in relation to large scale BECCS deployment and considers ways to address these challenges.

Potential and Costs of Carbon Dioxide Removal by Enhanced Weathering of Rocks

2018
Scholarly Work
Jessica Strefler, Thorben Amann, Nico Bauer, Elmar Kriegler, Jens Hartmann
This article provides a comprehensive assessment of the economic costs, energy requirements, technical parameterization, and global and regional carbon removal potential of enhanced weathering.

The Ministerial Katowice Declaration on Forests for the Climate

2018
Declaration
The Ministers / the Head of Delegations attending the twenty-fourth session of the Conference of the Parties (COP24) of the UNFCCC
This declaration underscores the key role forests must play in limiting temperature rise to 1.5˚C, and highlights the role of forests in sequestering and storing carbon in the soil.

Towards an EU Regulatory Framework for Climate-Smart Agriculture: The Example of Soil Carbon Sequestration

2018
Scholarly Work
Jonathan Verschuuren
This article assesses current and proposed EU climate and environmental law, and the legal instruments associated with the Common Agricultural Policy, to see whether soil carbon sequestration is a promising example of "climate-smart agriculture."

Towards the anticipatory governance of geoengineering: Ethics, Politics, and Governance

2018
Scholarly Work
Rider Foley, David H. Guston, Daniel Sarewitz
This paper aims to describe and apply  “anticipatory governance," which refers most directly to building the capacity to manage emerging technologies while such management is still possible, to geoengineering technologies and techniques.
