Prado & Dowell (2023): The cost of permanent carbon dioxide removal
Augustin Prado and Niall Mac Dowell IN: Joule 7, 700–712; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2023.03.006
In this contribution, the authors present a general analytical framework that quantifies the non-zero climate repair value (CRV) of a CDR pathway of arbitrary permanence. A non-linear relationship between store durability and CRV is observed. The authors then incorporate the CRV concept in a conventional levelized cost of removal analysis, extended to account for monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of a given store.
