Barriers to Negative-Emissions Technologies
This commentary asks: Which of the practical, economic, socio-political or ethical challenges presents the greatest barrier to the deployment of Paris Agreement-compatible NETs?
Land Use and Agriculture: Pitfalls and Precautions on the Road to Net Zero
This paper examines some of the major risks, applicable safeguards, and potential pathways for agriculture and land use in realizing net zero emissions targets.
Strategies for mitigation of climate change: a review
This article reviews the main strategies for climate change abatement, including a comprehensive section on negative emission technologies; the current state of development, perceived limitations and risks as well as social and policy implications.
Geoengineering and Public Trust Doctrine
This article considers various types of geoengineering, including carbon dioxide removal techniques, to protect public assets using the public trust doctrine and finds a compelling case for action in a variety of contexts.
Prospects for bioenergy with carbon capture & storage (BECCS) in the United States pulp and paper industry
This paper estimates the technical and economic potential of integrating BECCS at pulp and paper mills in the United States with application of the existing federal tax credit for carbon capture and sequestration (Section 45Q).
What role can forests play in tackling climate change?
This discussion paper consolidates knowledge on the potential environmental, economic and societal benefits of using trees to reduce the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and identifies the key policy decisions for climate-smart tree planting.
Potential for large-scale CO2 removal via enhanced rock weathering with croplands
This article identifies how the deployment of enhanced rock weathering within existing croplands offers opportunities to align agriculture and climate policy, while needing to overcome political inertia to develop regulatory and incentive frameworks.
Who rules climate intervention on the high seas?
This article discusses how research and deployment of marine geoengineering should be governed as more field trials begin to move forward.
Consumers Energy Pledge
Consumers Energy announced a goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, in part using strategies such as carbon capture and sequestration and large-scale tree planting.
BP Pledge
BP has pledged to reach net-zero emissions across all operations by 2050 and plans to use CCUS and natural climate sinks in the effort to achieve this goal.
