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.

Perceptions of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage in Different Policy Scenarios

2019
Scholarly Work
Rob Bellamy, Javier Lezaun, James Palmer
This paper investigates how different policies and incentives impact the public perception of BECCS.

Preconditions for Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) in sub-Saharan Africa: The Case of Tanzania

2019
Scholarly Work
Anders Hansson, Mathias Fridahl, Simon Haikola, Pius Yanda, Noah Pauline, Edmund Mabhuye
This paper analyzes the pre-conditions for BECCS in Tanzania, and argues that negative BECCS-related emissions from Tanzania should not be assumed in global climate mitigation scenarios.

Transnational Legal Processes, the EU and RED II: Strengthening the Global Governance of Bioenergy

2019
Scholarly Work
Emily Webster
This paper argues that the emergence of a transnational legal process that strengthens the sustainable production of biomass, balances the benefits of BECCS with the negative social and environmental externalities associated with biomass production.

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Sequestration (BECCS): The Distracting Injustice of an Infeasible and Unlikely Technofix

2019
Scholarly Work
Rachel Smolker
This article, through the case study of BECCS, argues how indulging the concept of a technofix violates human rights and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Governing a Mirage? False Promises of Negative Emissions Technologies

2019
Scholarly Work
Daniel Compagnon
This paper challenges the literature actively promoting negative emission technologies and argues that the risk of undermining ongoing mitigation efforts cannot be significantly reduced by governance design.

Carbon Dioxide Removal After Paris

2019
Scholarly Work
Albert Lin
This article explores key issues of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) governance, such as promoting the generation of information, mainstreaming CDR into public and policy discussions, and furthering CDR development while avoiding lock-in of technology.
