The Carbon Removal Debate: Asking critical questions about climate change futures

American University
Among the identified pathways in the 2018 IPCC report for keeping warming below either 2.0°C or 1.5°C, almost all require the deployment of still speculative carbon removal and storage methods. However, most carbon removal methods remain at the preliminary research and assessment stage, with a great deal of uncertainty over their technical feasibility, social acceptability, cost, and associated impacts. In addition, some argue that the reliance on unproven carbon removal methods to fulfill climate policy goals creates a false sense of complacency about the need for an immediate and aggressive transition away from fossil fuels. This report looks at why the entire field of carbon removal needs additional scrutiny and how to build a better carbon removal conversation.
