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.

Enhanced Chemical Weathering as a Geoengineering Strategy to Reduce Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide, Supply Nutrients, and Mitigate Ocean Acidification

2013
Scientific Report
Jens Hartmann, A. Joshua West, Phil Renforth, Peter Köhler, Christina L. De La Rocha, Dieter A. Wolf-Gladrow, Hans H. Dürr, Jürgen Scheffran
This scientific paper is an interdisciplinary review of enhanced weathering, the processes involved, and the applicability and risks of applying the method with a look at the legal framework for enhanced weathering.

A Navigational System for Uncharted Waters: The London Convention and London Protocol’s Assessment Framework on Ocean Iron Fertilization

2013
Scholarly Work
Melissa Eick
This article examines the London Convention and London Protocol's measures to bring ocean iron fertilization within their regulatory scope.

International Law in the Anthropocene: Responding to the Geoengineering Challenge

2013
Scholarly Work
Karen N. Scott
This article critically assesses the regulatory regime currently being developed by the parties to the 1996 Protocol to the London Convention with respect to scientific research on ocean iron fertilization.

Regulating Ocean Fertilization under International Law: The Risks

2013
Scholarly Work
Karen N. Scott
This paper explores the regulatory regime for ocean fertilization under the dumping regime, which comprises the 1972 London Convention and 1996 Protocol.

Regulating Geoengineering Research through Domestic Environmental Protection Frameworks: Reflections on the Recent Canadian Ocean Fertilization Case

2013
Scholarly Work
Neil Craik, Jason Blackstock, Anna-Maria Hubert
This article considers the application of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) to a controversial ocean iron fertilization project off the coast of British Columbia.

A Prognosis, and Perhaps a Plan, for Geoengineering Governance

2013
Scholarly Work
Jane C. S. Long
This article argues that governments should plan to use collaboration on natural disasters as a vehicle for developing the institutional capacity to manage the global climate.

Implementing the Precautionary Principle for Climate Engineering

2013
Scholarly Work
Elizabeth Tedsen , Gesa Homann
This article provides an overview of debate in how to apply the precautionary principle to climate engineering (in part carbon dioxide removal) and what the precautionary principle means in a climate engineering context.

A Matter of Scale: Regional Climate Engineering and the Shortfalls of Multinational Governance

2013
Scholarly Work
Tracy D. Hester
This article explores new ways to regulate climate engineering research through a cumulative bottom-up governance approach that would rely on networks of regional treaties, agreements and resolutions rather than a sweeping international convention.

Regulating Geoengineering in International Environmental Law

2013
Scholarly Work
Tuomas Kuokkanen , Yulia Yamineva
The article shows how regulating geoengineering activities, including ocean iron fertilization, through existing environmental protection regimes may lead to a governance and legal landscape that is fragmented, incoherent, and incomprehensive.

End the Deadlock on Governance of Geoengineering Research

2013
Scholarly Work
Edward A. Parson, David W. Keith
This article addresses the question of whether scientific self-regulation can control small-scale research, or if governmental regulation is needed?
