Ein Endlager für Treibhausgas

Verena Tang, Spektrum der Wissenschaft, detektor.fm, podcast: 16 min

„CO₂ unter der Erde speichern: Das ist technisch möglich und nach Ansicht vieler Fachleute notwendig, um die Klimaziele zu erreichen. In Deutschland ist das Verfahren aber bislang verboten. Nun wagt die Bundesregierung einen neuen Anlauf. Ein Überblick über die Technologie, ihre Chancen, Grenzen und Risiken.“

Plan Sea: Ocean Interventions to Address Climate Change

podcast by Wil Burns & Anna Medlener (Institute for Carbon Removal Law & Policy, American University)1h 8min

Episode 10: Mike Kelland, CEO and co-founder of Planetary Technologies, an ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) startup from Canada, joins Plan Sea on this new episode. Mike, Anna and Wil discuss the basics, science and challenges surrounding ocean alkalinity enhancement. The better part of this episode focuses on the most recent challenges of Planetary around their community engagement and their first planned pilot site in Cornwall, UK. Mike shares learnings, insights and future outlook on the research needed for OAE to reduce uncertainties.

Plan Sea: Exploring the Risks and Riches of the Deep Sea Ecosystems in Climate Interventions

podcast by Wil Burns & Anna Medlener (Institute for Carbon Removal Law & Policy, American University)37 min

Episode 9: The podcast focuses on the risks of ocean-based climate interventions and solar radiation options to deep ocean ecosystems. The guest, Lisa Levin, is a distinguished professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the lead author of a recent article in the journal Science called „Deep Sea Impacts of Climate Interventions.“ She explains that most ocean-based carbon removal technologies involve dumping materials and carbon into the ocean floor, which could affect the many different ecosystems of the deep sea.

Mit CO2-Verpressung das Klima retten – wirklich?

Podcast von Susanne Tappe und Ines Burckhardt,; Sendereihe Mission Klima – Lösungen für die Krise, 21.04.2023, 06:00 Uhr, 36 min

„Wäre es nicht schön, man könnte all‘ das schädliche CO2, das unsere Erde erhitzt, unters Meer pressen – und unsere Klima- Probleme wären gelöst? Diese Hoffnung erweckt die zurzeit auch von Politikern wie dem grünen Wirtschaftsminister Robert Habeck beworbene Technik CCS – also die Technik, CO2 abzuscheiden und unterirdisch zu speichern, zum Beispiel unter dem Meeresgrund. Habeck will bald einen Gesetzesentwurf einbringen, um das Verpressen vor der deutschen Küste zu erlauben, auch der Export etwa nach Norwegen ist angedacht. Doch viele Umweltschützer (wie Kerstin Meyer vom BUND, die interviewt wurde) sind skeptisch, dass die CO2-Speicher auch wirklich dicht sind – und bezweifeln auch, dass CCS wirklich was fürs Klima bringt… Die Autorinnen nehmen die Technologie deshalb in dieser Folge mal genau unter die Lupe.“

Plan Sea: [C]worthy initiative for MRV modeling frameworks

podcast by Wil Burns & Anna Medlener (Institute for Carbon Removal Law & Policy, American University), 46 min

Episode 8: Matthew Long joins Wil Burns and Anna Madlener to discuss his role at the National Center for Atmospheric Research: Climate and Global Dynamics and the Cworthy project, a non-profit research organization to develop the scientific and technical tools associated with quantifying ocean carbon dioxide removal and leveraging those tools to bolster the monitoring, reporting, and verification of carbon dioxide removal. Matthew discusses the research that he conducts and the successes and challenges that the research has identified.

Regulating Ocean CDR Research

podcast by Nori – Carbon Removal Newsroom (30 min)

On this episode, the hosts take a look at the state of ocean CDR research governance with one of the field’s foremost experts, Wil Burns. He talks about the main international agreements that govern the seas, and experiments within them. What does existing law mean for plans to test ocean CDR? The panel also discuss the recent news of a geoengineering experiment in England that was leaked to the press.
