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.

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.
