Bahn, Olivier; et al. (2015): Is there room for geoengineering in the optimal climate policy mix?

Bahn, Olivier; Chesney, Marc; Gheyssens, Jonathan; Knutti, Reto; Pana, Anca Claudia (2015): Is there room for geoengineering in the optimal climate policy mix? In Environmental Science [&] Policy 48, pp. 67–76. DOI 10.1016/j.envsci.2014.12.014.

„The optimal climate portfolio is a mix of mitigation, adaptation, and SRM. When accounting for uncertainty in the magnitude of SRM side-effects and their persistency over time, we show that the SRM option lacks robustness.“

Davies, P. A. (2015): Solar thermal decomposition of desalination reject brine for carbon dioxide removal and neutralisation of ocean acidity. In Environ. Sci.: Water Res. Technol. DOI 10.1039/c4ew00058g.

Linked to CE. „Desalination plants could become net absorbers (rather than net emitters) of CO2. Thermal decomposition of salts in desalination reject brine can yield MgO which, added to the ocean, would take up CO2 through conversion to bicarbonate.“
