Contributions can now be submitted for a focus issue on CDR in the scientific journal “Environmental Research Letters (ERL)”. The project is jointly supervised by the CDRterra and CDRmare research programmes. The Environmental Research Letters (ERL) \u2013 Focus Issue on Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR)<\/strong><\/a> is now online.<\/p>\n

Scope of the focus issue:<\/p>\n

The Paris Agreement of 2015 set the goal of limiting the increase in global mean temperature to \u201ewell below 2 \u00b0C\u201c compared to pre-industrial levels and of \u201epursuing efforts\u201c to limit the temperatureincrease to even 1.5 \u00b0C. The Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirms: limiting the rise in average global temperature to 1.5 \u00b0C will require so-called \u201enegative emissions\u201c in addition to the drastic reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n

Negative emissions refer to the active removal of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide Removal, CDR) from the atmosphere and its long-term storage. Implicitly or explicitly, all countries following the Paris Agreement\u2019s aims thus committed themselves to CDR to compensate for hard-to-abate residual emissions with their net-zero goals. However, a broad spectrum of options ranging from ecosystem-based to technical methods on land and in the ocean exist or are being explored. Each of the methods has potentials, which may scale up more or less quickly over time also depending on the implementation context, has risks, e.g., concerning the permanence of the CO2 storage, and side-effects, which could create synergies but also trade-offs with other sustainable development goals or other societal interests. It is thus crucial to establish a solid science basis for decision-making concerning potentials, risks, and side-effects of the individual CDR methods and their potential co-application, but also concerning overarching questions of political and institutional feasibility, social acceptance, justice and ethics.<\/p>\n
