Anyway, until there is real money spent on researching and testing these
approaches (and not just recycling of existing, sparse data by Masters students
and environmental activists), downselecting winners and losers will remain a
highly speculative and potentially misleading exercise.

Identifying Carbon Removal Potentials and Costs
This is quite a nice piece of work from masters students of my alma mater (UM's
SNRE)!
My concern, as usual, is that there is no discussion of cost-reduction pathways
that take into account a sober and realistic prospectus of immanent
technological change - in particular, the combined and recursive effects of
low-cost solar energy and NAI machine labor. Ignoring these changes for any
analysis on a decadal timescale is a fatal error for any scenario-based
assessment, policy, or plan.

Carbon Dioxide Removal Options: A Literature Review Identifying Carbon Removal
Potentials and CostsJohnson, Katelyn; Martin, Derek; Zhang, Xilin...
[more]2017Abstract: In 2015, nearly 190 countries came together in the historic
Paris agreement to take action in minimizing the impacts of climate change.
However, even with the consensus to cut carbon emissions, the continued
trajectory of global emissions will push global temperatures 2°C past
pre-industrial temperatures. Implementation of carbon dioxide removal (CDR)
options is a way to meet the target. Through an extensive literature review,
ten CDR/storage options were examined to gain a better understanding of the
current state of research regarding the CDR potential of each option and their
relevant costs, as well as the feasibility of their implementation. As we have
concluded that all options require significant further research, a second major
objective was to highlight where major gaps in research exist in order to help
guide further inquiry in CDR options. Every option was examined extensively and
presented in an individual chapter. Each chapter presents our findings
regarding the CDR/storage potential and economic costs collected for each
option. In addition, each chapter includes a discussion of the technical or
natural process, geographic restrictions, policy implications, benefits and
risks associated with the implementation, as well as recommendations for
further research. The biggest takeaways from the literature review is that this
set of CDR options offer enough removal potential to warrant equal
consideration to other emission reduction measures, all options face
limitations and uncertainties so a diverse portfolio of options should be
pursued, and implementation should occur in a staged manner, in which options
are implemented as they become feasible. [less]Handle: http://hdl.handle.net/
