Hamilton, C. (2014): Geoengineering and the politics of science

Hamilton, C. (2014): Geoengineering and the politics of science. In Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. DOI 10.1177/0096340214531173.

„Climate scientists are sharply divided over geoengineering, in much the same way that Manhattan Project scientists were divided over nuclear weapons after World War II. Testing a geoengineering scheme, such as sulfate aerosol spraying, is inherently difficult.“

The Climate Institute: Moving Below Zero: Understanding Bio-energy with Carbon Capture & Storage

Moving Below Zero: Understanding Bio-energy with Carbon Capture [&] Storage includes a world first study examining the role of carbon removal technologies in national climate policy scenarios. Carried out by leading economics firm Jacobs SKM, the modelling finds that bio-energy with carbon capture and storage, or bio-CCS using food wastes, sustainable forest biomass, or crop residues, has the potential to contribute significantly to climate change efforts in Australia.“
