Overview

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.
