Report: How to avoid carbon removal delaying emissions reductions
by Robert Höglund, Eli Mitchell-Larson and Sylvain Delerce, Carbon Gap
This report aims to enable policy-makers and practitioners to responsibly accelerate carbon removal deployment while avoiding mitigation deterrence risks. It provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and proactively addressing potential mitigation deterrence across three key use cases of carbon removal as defined by the IPCC. Based on this analysis, tailored solutions are proposed to remove the factors encouraging mitigation deterrence and establish the guardrails needed to limit its impact.
