The Law of Enhanced Weathering for Carbon Dioxide Removal
This paper examines the international and U.S. legal framework for enhanced weathering on land and in ocean waters.
Incentivizing Negative Emissions Through Carbon Shares
This paper describes a new climate change policy that replaces an emission tax with a bond used to fund an asset called a “carbon share,” which can optimally incentivize both emission reductions and emission removal.
Tensions in the energy transition: Swedish and Finnish company perspectives on bioenergy with carbon capture and storage
This paper addresses the following research question: What are the barriers and driving forces to realize BECCS according to company representatives, including their views on policy and their role in contributing to national climate goals?
Ore. Rev. Stat. §526.780 et seq. – Oregon forestry offsets
This law permits the state forester to develop contracts with non-federal forest landowners to market, register, transfer or sell forest carbon offsets, which includes activities related to afforestation and reforestation, as a stewardship incentive.
Direct Air Carbon Capture and Sequestration: How It Works and How It Could Contribute to Climate-Change Mitigation
The paper discusses the role of Direct Air Capture in meeting the Paris Agreement, while noting the ecological and ethical considerations, and the potential trade-offs and uncertainties that deserve further investigation.
The agricultural conundrum: encouraging climate-friendly agriculture through economic instruments in North America
This chapter from the book Environmental Fiscal Challenges for Cities and Transport evaluates California’s treatment of agriculture and the potential for a cap-and-trade offset protocol for carbon farming practices that sequester carbon in the soil.
How Changes in Legally Demanded Forest Restoration Impact Ecosystem Services: A Case Study in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil
This paper evaluates, in a rural watershed, the impact on carbon sequestration, soil loss, and soil sedimentation caused by the change from the Forest Code to the Native Vegetation Protection Law in Brazil.
BECCS Deployment: A Reality Check
This paper explores some of the questions that emerge in relation to BECCS around governance and scale.
Perceptions of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage in Different Policy Scenarios
This paper investigates how different policies and incentives impact the public perception of BECCS.
Preconditions for Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) in sub-Saharan Africa: The Case of Tanzania
This paper analyzes the pre-conditions for BECCS in Tanzania, and argues that negative BECCS-related emissions from Tanzania should not be assumed in global climate mitigation scenarios.
