Lyngfelt et al. (2024): FinanceForFuture: Enforcing a CO2 emitter liability using atmospheric CO2 removal deposits (ACORDs) to finance future negative emissions

Anders Lyngfelt, Mathias Fridahl, Stuart Haszeldine IN: Energy Research & Social Science 107, 103356, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2023.103356

The gigantic volumes of CDR likely needed to comply with the Paris Agreement beg the question of who should pay for the negative emissions. The authors propose that this problem can be solved by a CO₂ emitter liability operationalized through Atmospheric CO₂ Removal Deposits (ACORDs).  The paper also includes a critical assessment of the basis of negative emissions, i.e., the need, the technologies and their potentials, the costs, and the required retention time.
