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.

Clearing the Air on ‘Geoengineering’ and Intellectual Property Rights Towards a framework approach

2015
Scholarly Work
Aladdin Tingling Diakun
This paper focuses on patents and trade secrets as the most relevant categories of intellectual property to climate engineering (CE), and develops a framework within which to situate IP-related concerns, specifically as related to DAC and OIF.

International EIA Law and Geoengineering: Do Emerging Technologies Require Special Rules?

2015
Scholarly Work
Neil Craik
This article explores the adequacy of the international rules on environmental impact assessments (EIA) to contribute to geoengineering governance.

Global Experimentalist Governance, International Law and Climate Change Technologies

2015
Scholarly Work
Chiara Armeni
This article investigates the opportunities and barriers to developing global experimentalist governance approaches in the international climate change regime, focusing on the framework for marine geoengineering under the London Protocol.

Bridging the gap: improving the economic and policy framework for carbon capture and storage in the European Union

2015
Think Tank Report
Samuela Bassi, Rodney Boyd, Simon Buckle, Paul Fennell, Niall Mac Dowell, Zen Makuch, Iain Staffell
This policy brief identifies the key factors that currently hold back CCS investment in the European Union and explores ways that CCS can be made viable.

Update on the London Protocol – Developments on Transboundary CCS and on Geoengineering

2014
Scholarly Work
Tim Dixon, Justine Garrett, Edward Kleverlaan
This paper reviews the regulatory developments relating to transboundary carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) activities and regulation of ocean fertilization arising from the work and agreements under the London Protocol from 2010 to 2013.

The Emergence of the Geoengineering Debate Within the IPCC

2014
Scholarly Work
Arthur Petersen
This article looks at IPCC Assessment Reports to review how the IPCC has addressed geoengineering up to the Fifth Assessment Report in 2014.

Investigating afforestation and bioenergy CCS as climate change mitigation strategies

2014
Scholarly Work
Florian Humpenöder, Alexander Popp, Jan Philip Dietrich, David Klein, Hermann Lotze-Campen, Markus Bonsch, Benjamin Leon Bodirsky, Isabelle Weindl, Miodrag Stevanovic, Christoph Müller
This paper examines how different levels of a global tax on GHG emissions incentivizes afforestation and BECCS, finding that afforestation is a cost-efficient strategy at relatively low carbon prices, while BECCS becomes competitive at higher prices.

Climate Geoengineering and Dispute Settlement Under UNCLOS and the UNFCCC: Stormy Seas Ahead?

2014
Scholarly Work
Meinhard Doelle
Using the example of geoengineering, this paper considers how tensions between climate mitigation and management and conservation goals are likely to be addressed under the UNCLOS and UNFCCC regimes.

A Napoleonic Approach to Climate Change: The Geoengineering Branch

2013
Scholarly Work
Anthony E. Chavez
This article reviews the domestic and international laws that might control climate engineering research and testing in the United States and presents considerations for a regulatory scheme that would foster further research and testing.

Does Geoengineering Present a Moral Hazard?

2013
Scholarly Work
Albert C. Lin
This article examines the critical question of whether geoengineering presents a moral hazard by drawing on empirical studies of moral hazard and risk compensation and on the psychology literature of heuristics and cultural cognition.
