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.

Potential for large-scale CO2 removal via enhanced rock weathering with croplands

2020
Scholarly Work
David J. Beerling, Euripides P. Kantzas, Mark R. Lomas, Peter Wade, Rafael M. Eufrasio, Phil Renforth, Binoy Sarkar, M. Grace Andrews, Rachael H. James, Christopher R. Pearce
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.

Harvard University Pledge

2020
Declaration
The University's endowment will become greenhouse-gas neutral by 2050 by reducing and offsetting emissions with investment in technologies that remove carbon from the atmosphere.

AstraZeneca Pledge

2020
Declaration
AstraZeneca has pledged to have zero carbon emissions from operations by 2025 and ensure its entire value chain is carbon negative by 2030 with the use of a 50-million tree reforestation initiative that will be rolled out from 2020-2025.

Anticipatory Governance of Climate Engineering

2020
Scholarly Work
Daniel Barben, Nils Matzner
This article places debates about the anticipatory governance of climate engineering (CE) into the context of earlier efforts to render the governance of science, emerging technologies, and society more forward-looking, inclusive, and deliberative.

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS): Finding the win–wins for energy, negative emissions and ecosystem services—size matters

2020
Scholarly Work
Caspar Donnison, Robert A. Holland, Astley Hastings, Lindsay‐Marie Armstrong, Felix Eigenbrod, Gail Taylor
This paper identifies how smaller scale BECCS can be deployed to generate net welfare gains in the UK, and that landscape-scale and site-specific impacts need to be central to future BECCS policy developments.
