Amador, Giana; Burns, Erin; Glicksman, Maya; Holness, Courtni; Jacobson, Rory; Kosar, Ugbaard et al. (2021): Zero, Then Negative. The Congressional Blueprint for Scaling Carbon Removal. Carbon180.

"The rapid pace of change over the last few years has opened a rare window to double down on our momentum and, with targeted and ambitious investments from the federal government today, far outpace that growth in the coming decades. To do this, we must come together around transformational policies that can address current barriers to full-scale carbon removal."

"Seeking a postdoc familiar with the marine carbonate system for an interdisciplinary project in the emerging field of ocean carbon dioxide removal (ocean CDR) and negative emissions technologies (NETs) that aims to mitigate ocean acidification while decreasing the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. The postdoc will help evaluate an electrochemical process that enables local adjustment and control of seawater carbonate chemistry."

"There is no substitute for aggressive cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions. But the risks and benefits of technologies that could mitigate global warming need to be evaluated."

Keyßer, Lorenz T.; Lenzen, Manfred (2021): 1.5 °C degrowth scenarios suggest the need for new mitigation pathways. In Nat Comms 12 (1), p. 2676. DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-22884-9.

"As a first step to address this gap, this paper compares 1.5  °C degrowth scenarios with IPCC archetype scenarios, using a simplified quantitative representation of the fuel-energy-emissions nexus. Here we find that the degrowth scenarios minimize many key risks for feasibility and sustainability compared to technology-driven pathways, such as the reliance on high energy-GDP decoupling, large-scale carbon dioxide removal and large-scale and high-speed renewable energy transformation."
