Synopsis: How technology and policy can come together to remove carbon from our atmosphere.Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) is recognized as essential for meeting “net-zero” climate targets. The first definitive resource on CDR, this book is an accessible guide meant to provide a fundamental understanding of the science behind CDR and how government, industry, and academia can work together to combat climate change. Taking a deep dive into the history and intricacies of CDR, Howard Herzog and Niall Mac Dowell—preeminent experts in the field—provide key insights into what CDR may look like as we continue to face a warming globe. Carbon Removal explores the rapidly evolving world of CDR, presenting the technological pathways of enhancing the land sink, biomass-based carbon capture and storage, engineered removal methods, and ocean-based carbon removal. The authors also discuss the barriers facing CDR as well as the ethical implications of this process. Carbon Removal is a timely, vital book that illuminates the technologies, policies, and markets that can remove carbon from the atmosphere to help us reach our “net-zero” climate targets.
