Iyer, Gokul; et al. (2021): The role of carbon dioxide removal in net-zero emissions pledges

Iyer, Gokul; Clarke, Leon; Edmonds, Jae; Fawcett, Allen; Fuhrman, Jay; McJeon, Haewon; Waldhoff, Stephanie (2021): The role of carbon dioxide removal in net-zero emissions pledges. In Energy and Climate Change 2, p. 100043. DOI: 10.1016/j.egycc.2021.100043.

“This perspective highlights three issues. First, the scale of CDR deployment will determine the level of emission mitigation in the energy system and vice versa. Second, CDR will interact with societal priorities beyond climate. Finally, the location of CDR could have implications for the country-level pledges, and emissions trading.”
