The next week has the potential to bring important developments for international governance of marine carbondioxide removal (CDR). seaweed) for carbon storage. to 2 o C in line with the goals of the ParisAgreement. Solar radiation management is distinct from CDR.
The potential collapse of the AMOC—which could happen within this century, or be triggered within this century and play out over a longer timeframe—comes as a result of climate change caused by additional heat-trapping emissions like carbondioxide in the atmosphere. degree Celsius target set by the ParisAgreement.
The Sabin Center wrapped up Climate Week NYC last Friday with an event exploring the opportunities and challenges posed by ocean-based carbondioxide removal (CDR). to 2 o C in line with the goals of the ParisAgreement. to 2 o C in line with the goals of the ParisAgreement. It is not hard to see why.
In a blog post last month, I wrote about the growing interest in ocean-based carbondioxide removal (CDR), and the complex legal issues it raises. On the ocean CDR side, the parties looked at (1) ocean alkalinity enhancement and (2) biomass cultivation for carbon removal (including seaweed cultivation and sinking ).
The first, known as greenhouse gas (GHG) removal , seeks to mitigate climate change by pulling GHGs – most commonly carbondioxide – out of the atmosphere and durably storing them. The second category of marine geoengineering activities, known as solar radiation management or modification (SRM), do not directly target GHGs.
Governmental policies established as a result of commitments made in the Kyoto Protocol and the ParisAgreement have already successfully prevented the emissions of several Gigatons of CO 2 , targeting deforestation, energy efficiency, new technology deployment, and carbon accounting as their main mitigation efforts.
not plants, animals, or bacteria), get their energy by breaking down organic molecules via a different chemical pathway than we air-breathers use to get our energy, which does not require oxygen and ends in methane instead of carbondioxide and water. The clever microbes that do this, mostly Archaea (i.e., W/m 2 from elevated CO 2.
Greenhouse gas : A group of gases known to be responsible for increasing the “greenhouse effect” - that is, gases that absorb infrared radiation and increase atmospheric density. They are water vapor, carbondioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, CFCs, and hydrofluorocarbons.
