Nature – Rickels et al. (2023): The historical social cost of fossil and industrial CO2 emissions

Wilfried Rickels, Felix Meier, Martin Quaas IN: Nat. Clim. Chang., https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-023-01709-1

Countries differ considerably in their amounts and time profiles of past CO2 emissions. Here the authors calibrate an integrated assessment model on past economic and climate development to estimate the historical time series of social costs of carbon and to assess how much individual countries have reduced global wealth by their fossil and industrial-process CO2 emissions from 1950 to 2018.

Honegger, Matthias; et al. (2021): Who is paying for carbon dioxide removal? Designing policy instruments for mobilizing negative emissions technologies

Honegger, Matthias; Poralla, Matthias; Michaelowa, Axel; Ahonen, Hanna-Mari (2021): Who is paying for carbon dioxide removal? Designing policy instruments for mobilizing negative emissions technologies. In Front. Clim. 3, p. 50. DOI: 10.3389/fclim.2021.672996.

„In this policy and practice review, we develop six functions jointly needed for policy mixes mobilizing CDR in a manner compatible with the Paris Agreement’s objectives. We discuss the emerging CDR financing efforts in light of these functions, and we chart a path to a meaningful long-term structuring of policies and financing instruments.“

Giannousakis, Anastasis; Hilaire, Jérôme; Nemet, Gregory F.; Luderer, Gunnar; Pietzcker, Robert C.; Rodrigues, Renato et al. (2021): How uncertainty in technology costs and carbon dioxide removal availability affect climate mitigation pathways. In Energy 216, p. 119253. DOI: 10.1016/j.energy.2020.119253.

„We assess how energy supply costs and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) availability affect mitigation by performing a sensitivity analysis with the energy-economy-climate model REMIND. We use new scenarios with carbon price paths that aim to reduce the frequently seen temperature overshoot.“

Jiang, Yuan; et al. (2021): Techno-economic comparison of various process configurations for post-combustion carbon capture using a single-component water-lean solvent

Jiang, Yuan; Mathias, Paul M.; Freeman, Charles J.; Swisher, Joseph A.; Zheng, Richard F.; Whyatt, Greg A.; Heldebrant, David J. (2021): Techno-economic comparison of various process configurations for post-combustion carbon capture using a single-component water-lean solvent. In International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control 106, p. 103279. DOI: 10.1016/j.ijggc.2021.103279.

„Even though advanced process configurations have been intensively studied for aqueous amines, few discussions can be found in the open literature for water-lean solvents. In order to fill the gap, the present study focuses on the process designs towards lower carbon capture cost enabled by water-lean solvents.“
