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. In 2022, the parties agreed to evaluate those four approaches, and how they should be governed. Solar radiation management is distinct from CDR.

Proposed Massive Carbon Capture Hub Puts Alberta’s Water and Farmland At Risk

Enviromental Defense

One of the risks to water associated with permanent carbon dioxide storage is the threat of the injected CO2 leaking into overlying groundwater resources. In response, a 12 month moratorium on carbon capture projects was passed to protect the nearby aquifer from the risks of leaking carbon dioxide.

Electric Vehicles Help Combat Climate Change, Here’s Why.

Union of Concerned Scientists

Driving the average EV in the US produces carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to a hypothetical 100 mpg gasoline car. When UCS first compared driving an EV to a gasoline car, only 45 percent of the country lived where driving an EV had lower climate-changing emissions than a 50 MPG gasoline car.

Wetland Protections Remain Bogged Down in Mystery 

Union of Concerned Scientists

Alito famously said that carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning, a key contributor to global warming, is not a pollutant. That is despite studies tying carbon dioxide to skyrocketing rates of childhood asthma. There is evidence linking elevated carbon dioxide to longer pollen seasons.
