This study provides an updated comprehensive framework for conducting techno-economic assessment (TEA) on novel carbon dioxide removal approaches. Specifically, the framework is applied to an ocean iron fertilization (OIF) deployment scenario in the Southern Ocean. The study investigates whether cost elements such as administrative and support labor are accurately included in standard methodologies and proposes solutions on how to characterize prospective cost elements and uncertainty in novel CDR TEA’s.
