Extract How the continued negotiations play out over the next year will have important implications for the carbon dioxide removal (“CDR”) field. In an encouraging sign, some options in the draft Lima text include language arguing that the world should aim for net zero emissions by 2050 and/or net negative emissions by 2100. This language closely echoes the findings of the latest IPCC report, and implies the need for large-scale CDR by midcentury. For this to actually happen, individual nation’s commitments will need to include proposals for large-scale CDR projects — it will be interesting to see how nations discuss their eventual plans for incorporating negative emissions into their reduction targets.In addition, it will be interesting to see how CDR is discussed in the event that the proposed emission targets by each nation do not add up to an amount needed to prevent climate change. CDR will only grow in importance as countries delay action on overall GHG emission mitigation, and CDR could potentially gain more exposure if the negotiations in Paris result in outcomes that fail to meet our hopes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
