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.

Geoengineering Research Under U.S. Law

2018
Scholarly Work
Norman Carlin, Robert A. James
This article examines the principles of domestic United States law applicable to geoengineering research projects and walks through a theoretical analysis for an environmental impact statement under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

Evaluating the use of biomass energy with carbon capture and storage in low emission scenarios

2018
Scholarly Work
Naomi E Vaughan, Clair Gough, Sarah Mander, Emma W Littleton, Andrew Welfle, David E H J Gernaat, Detlef P van Vuuren
This paper looks into the detailed assumptions and results of a single Integrated Assessment Model (IAM), the IMAGE model framework, to learn more about the required implementation strategy of the default mitigation response using BECCS.

Climate engineering and human rights

2018
Scholarly Work
Toby Svoboda, Holly Jean Buck, Pablo Suarez
In this Forum, three scholars discuss how climate engineering will pose novel human rights challenges, and may well force reconsideration of how human rights are applied as a guide to action.

Comment on Geoengineering with seagrasses: is credit due where credit is given?

2018
Scholarly Work
Matthew P J Oreska, Karen J McGlathery, Igino M Emmer, Brian A Needelman, Stephen Emmett-Mattox, Stephen Crooks, J Patrick Megonigal, Doug Myers
This is a commentary on the article ‘Geoengineering with seagrasses: is credit due where credit is given?' that speaks to a concern in the article about a carbon crediting methodology over-allocating carbon credits for seagrass.

‘Slippery slope’ or ‘uphill struggle’? Broadening out expert scenarios of climate engineering research and development

2018
Scholarly Work
Rob Bellamy, Peter Healey
This article suggests that the governance challenges for climate engineering should be thought of as less of a slippery slope than an ‘uphill struggle’ and that there is a need for governance that incentivizes, rather than constrains, research.

Reply to Macreadie et al Comment on ‘Geoengineering with seagrasses: is credit due where credit is given?’

2018
Scholarly Work
Sophia C Johannessen, Robie W Macdonald
This article is a response to the Macreadie (et al) challenge of the ‘Geoengineering with seagrasses: is credit due where credit is given?’ paper, in which a proposal for an international protocol to quantify carbon burial in seagrass is presented.

Comment on ‘Geoengineering with seagrasses: is credit due where credit is given?’

2018
Scholarly Work
Peter I Macreadie, Carolyn J Ewers-Lewis, Ashley A Whitt, Quinn Ollivier, Stacey M Trevathan-Tackett, Paul Carnell, Oscar Serrano
This comment seeks to clarify some of the questions raised by Johannessen and Macdonald, with an aim to promote discussion in the scientific community about the evidence for carbon sequestration by seagrasses with a view to awarding carbon credits.

Federal research, development, and demonstration priorities for carbon dioxide removal in the United States

2018
Scholarly Work
Daniel L Sanchez, Giana Amador, Jason Funk, Katharine J Mach
This paper presents a synthesis of research and development needs, relevant agency authority, barriers to coordination, and interventions to enhance RD&D across the federal government of the US.

Cooperation for reforestation in North Korea: International perspectives and governance

2018
Scholarly Work
Seweryn Zielinski, Yoonjeong Jeong
This study provides an overview of North Korea's efforts and its interaction with South Korean and international organizations on reforestation, and identifies institutional aspects that hinder implementation of cooperative governance arrangements.

Governing geoengineering sustainably: A scenario exercise to inform Australian geoengineering policy development

2018
Scholarly Work
Anita Talberg
This thesis investigates how a scenario exercise can inform sustainable geoengineering governance in Australia.
