Meadowcroft, James (2013): Exploring negative territory Carbon dioxide removal and climate policy initiatives

Meadowcroft, James (2013): Exploring negative territory Carbon dioxide removal and climate policy initiatives. In: Climatic Change 118 (1), pp. 137–149. DOI 10.1007/s10584-012-0684-1

"Over the last five years there has been increased scientific interest in the role carbon dioxide removal (CDR), or ‘negative carbon dioxide emissions’, might play in addressing anthropogenic climate change. [...] This article engages with these issues, considering the significance of CDR approaches for climate policy."

Vichi, M.; et al. (2013): Adjustment of the natural ocean carbon cycle to negative emission rates

Vichi, M.; Navarra, A.; Fogli, P. G. (2013): Adjustment of the natural ocean carbon cycle to negative emission rates. In: Climatic Change. DOI 10.1007/s10584-012-0677-0

On CDR and negative emissions. "Results show that both actions are anticipated to release the anthropogenic carbon stored in the surface ocean, effectively increasing the required removal effort."

Vuuren, Detlef P.; et al. (2013): The role of negative CO2 emissions for reaching 2 °C—insights from integrated assessment modelling. In: Climatic Change.

Vuuren, Detlef P.; Deetman, Sebastiaan; Vliet, Jasper; Berg, Maarten; Ruijven, Bas J.; Koelbl, Barbara (2013): The role of negative CO2 emissions for reaching 2 °C—insights from integrated assessment modelling. In: Climatic Change. DOI 10.1007/s10584-012-0680-5

"Given the importance and the uncertainty concerning BECCS [bio-energy with carbon capture and storage], we stress the importance of near-term assessments of its availability as today’s decisions has important consequences for climate change mitigation in the long run."

McGlashan, Niall; et al. (2012): High-level techno-economic assessment of negative emissions technologies

McGlashan, Niall; Shah, Nilay; Caldecott, Ben; Workman, Mark (2012): High-level techno-economic assessment of negative emissions technologies. In: Process Safety and Environmental Protection 90 (6), pp. 501–510.

"This paper presents results from research conducted to provide a high level techno-economic and performance assessments of various emerging technologies for capturing CO2 from the air, directly and indirectly, on a life-cycle basis. The technologies assessed include ‘artificial trees’, the soda lime process, augmented ocean disposal, biochar and bio-energy with carbon capture and storage."

McLaren, Duncan (2012): Governance and equity in the development and deployment of negative emissions technologies (conference paper)

"This paper draws on a recent global assessment of carbon dioxide removal (or negative emissions) technologies (NETs) undertaken by the author for Friends of the Earth in the UK. Alongside criteria such as cost and technical readiness,  the review applied criteria regarding controllability, accountability and side effects (including distributional impacts) to around 30 prospective NETs found in the literature."

Negatonnes - An initial Assessment of the Potential for negative Emission Techniques to contribute safely and fairly to meeting carbon Budgets in the 21st century

"Because of past failures to mitigate emissions effectively, there is little prospect of safely balancing carbon budgets in the future without the use of techniques which remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (otherwise known as ‘negative emissions techniques’ or NETs) alongside much-accelerated mitigation. But without much-accelerated mitigation, this study suggests there is little if any chance that NETs can fill the gap."
