Lannoy, Charles-Francois de; et al. (2017): Indirect ocean capture of atmospheric CO2. Part I. Prototype of a negative emissions technology

Lannoy, Charles-Francois de; Eisaman, Matthew D.; Jose, Arun; Karnitz, Stephen D.; DeVaul, Richard W.; Hannun, Kathy; Rivest, Jessy L.B. (2017): Indirect ocean capture of atmospheric CO 2. Part I. Prototype of a negative emissions technology. In International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control. DOI: 10.1016/j.ijggc.2017.10.007.

„We present the design, construction, characterization, and analysis of a prototype process for a novel electrochemical platform of candidate negative emissions technologies (NETs), termed indirect ocean capture. The IOC technologies remove carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere by leveraging both air-ocean gas exchange and the pH sensitivity of the ocean’s carbonate buffer system. The system characterized in this paper enables two configurations that capture CO2 either as a pure gas or as a solid mineral.“

Nassiry, Darius; et al. (2017): Implications of geoengineering for developing countries

„This working paper finds that so far engagement by developing countries in discussion about geoengineering has been limited. More support is needed to enable developing countries to assess the costs and benefits of geoengineering, including the potential for unintended consequences. Longer term, any geoengineering research and governance arrangements that are agreed and put into practice may have important implications for climate governance and broader interventions to manage risks associated with other planetary boundaries.“
