The Role of Carbon Capture and Sequestration Policies for Climate Change Mitigation
This paper takes the ‘policy failure’ in establishing a global carbon price for efficient emissions reduction as a starting point and analyzes to what extent technology policies can be a reasonable second-best approach. From a supply-side perspective, carbon capture and storage (CCS) policies differ substantially from renewable energy policies: they increase fossil resource demand and simultane...
متن کاملUncertainty of the Role of Carbon Capture and Sequestration within Climate Change Mitigation Strategies
The optimal strategy and the implied costs of a stringent climate protection objective are uncertain and potentially large. The uncertainties arise from the growth and flexibility of energy demand and of low carbon energy supply. Carbon capture and sequestration is an option to reduce the economic costs of ambitious climate protection strategies, when energy demand and supply turns out to be in...
متن کاملThe potential of soil organic carbon sequestration for climate change mitigation and food security
SOC sequestration on cropland and grassland is an important mitigation option with potentially significant cobenefits for food security. At a carbon price of 20 $/tCO2eq, Paustian et al. (2016) identified a technical mitigation potential of 3-8 GtCO2eq/yr related to improved cropland and grassland management, biochar application, enhanced root phenotypes, and restoration of degraded lands and o...
متن کاملThe Use of Seaweeds Aquaculture for Carbon Sequestration: A Strategy for Climate Change Mitigation
Seaweed has the ability to use carbon from the environment through photosynthesis to produce biomass. The aim of this study is to estimate carbon sequestration by seaweed aquaculture as a strategy for climate change mitigation. The study was undertaken at Gerupuk Bay, Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Four seaweed variants, such as Kappaphycus alvarezii var. Tambalang and M...
متن کاملCarbon Capture and Storage: Science and Technology Focus for Mitigation of Climate Change
Global warming is attributed to increasing greenhouse gas emissions and mounting concentrations of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere. Since the middle of the 19th century, increasing worldwide anthropogenic activity is said to have given rise to a steady increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is corroborated by direct measurement of CO2 concentrations at Mauna Loa Lab...
