1. Direct Air Capture and Mineral Carbonation Approaches for Carbon Dioxide Removal and Reliable Sequestration: Proceedings of a Workshop - in Brief
-
By National Academies May 2018
-
Abstract: Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) techniques that aim to remove and sequester excess carbon from the atmosphere have been identified as an important part of the portfolio of responses to climate change. These approaches have been garnering increased attention as the international community has identified lower thresholds for global temperature increases. Many of the pathways that lead to these lower thresholds could only be accomplished with net negative carbon emissions to the atmosphere. The Committee on Developing a Research Agenda for Carbon Dioxide Removal and Reliable Sequestration has been convened to develop a detailed research and development agenda needed to assess the benefits, risks, and sustainable scale potential for carbon dioxide removal and sequestration approaches, and increase their commercial viability. The CDR approaches under consideration by the committee are: coastal and land ecosystem management, accelerated weathering, bioenergy with capture, direct air capture, and geologic sequestration. Each approach is being examined by the committee through a series of information-gathering workshops and webinars.
