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.

Governing geoengineering research: why, when and how?

2013
Scholarly Work
Lisa Dilling, Rachel Hauser
This paper suggests three areas of concern that any geoengineering governance research framework must respond to: the direct physical risks of the research; the transparency and responsibility in decision; and the larger societal meanings.
