Upcoming Developments in International Governance of Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal

Law Columbia

The next week has the potential to bring important developments for international governance of marine carbon dioxide removal (CDR). seaweed) for carbon storage. The parties subsequently, in 2010, adopted a framework for assessing research projects. Solar radiation management is distinct from CDR.

The Social Cost of George W. Bush

Legal Planet

The social cost of carbon is an estimate of the harm done by one additional ton of carbon dioxide. The earliest government estimate of the social cost of carbon was for 2010: $21/ton with a 3% discount rate and $35 at a 2.5% billion in 2010 dollars. billion in 2010 dollars. discount rate.

Net Zero/Not Zero

Real Climate

With empirical data and more and better modeling, it has become clear that, to first approximation, the eventual anthropogenic warming from carbon dioxide is tied to the cumulative emissions. This figure is from the AR6 SPM: The relationship between cumulative carbon emissions and temperature (SPM AR6).

The Pathways Alliance’s Carbon Capture Plans and the Risks to Communities

Enviromental Defense

Oil and gas companies are proposing the widespread use of carbon capture to deal with their increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Learn more about carbon capture – and why it isn’t a climate solution – here. For example, in the United States, there have been nearly 100 leaks or ruptures on existing carbon pipelines since 2010.

Chesapeake Bay Journal: Volunteer Laurie Barr Leads Hunt For Abandoned Conventional Oil & Gas Wells In Pennsylvania

PA Environment Daily

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, estimated to be 80 times more damaging to the atmosphere than carbon dioxide but not as long lasting. But make no mistake, the Save Our Streams PA nonprofit group she founded in 2010 has been mostly a one-woman show of impassioned purpose. But people need to see things. They won’t listen.”

Another Historic Climate Court Ruling in the Netherlands

Legal Planet

What’s most remarkable is that the decision calls for a 45% reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions–of not only its own but also those of its customers–within less than a decade. This reports that a net 45% reduction in 2030, relative to 2010, would be consistent with a 50% chance of keeping warming within 1.5°C

Electrification and decarbonization of chemical synthesis

Physics World

Chemical synthesis is responsible for the significant emission of carbon dioxide worldwide. We are developing an electrosynthetic toolkit in which distributed feedstocks, including carbon dioxide, dinitrogen, water and renewable electricity can be converted into diverse fuels, chemicals and materials. Join the audience.
