Dear Andrew,
Thanks for bringing attention to this work. I was unaware that it would
be available so quickly in the university's on-line archive.
I would like to acquaint the group with this effort and our plans, and
to ask a favor. This project was carried out by a group of Masters
students in our School of Natural Resources and the Environment. We
recognize that the quality is uneven (and the students' individual
grades reflected that!) Our plans are to work to improve the work over
the coming months and to issue it as a report from the University of
Michigan Energy Institute. Previous reports from our institute can be
found at
http://energy.umich.edu/research/publications
Information about our /Beyond Carbon Neutral /initiative, including the
summary of our recent workshop, can be found at
http://beyondcarbonneutral.org/
We would welcome comments about the Carbon Dioxide Removal report, as
well as our other projects. I would like to ask that, rather than
posting them to the Geoengineering group, these be sent directly to our
Communications Director, Amy Mast, at amym...@umich.edu
Thanks and we look forward to your responses.
Mark Barteau
Director, University of Michigan Energy Institute

Carbon Dioxide Removal Options: A Literature Review Identifying Carbon
Removal Potentials and Costs

Abstract: 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]
