Geoengineering (the deliberate modification of the climate system), has been discussed as a technique to control Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). Public Trust Doctrine (PTD) is used to hold assets that are not in private ownership in a... more
This investigation is to focus on the effectiveness of Green Algae in reducing the levels of CO2 in the air. The question guiding this research project is; How effective is Green Algae (C. reinhardtii) in reducing the levels of CO2 in the... more
Options are derivative contracts that give the purchaser the right to buy (call options) or sell (put options) a given underlying asset at a particular price at a future date. The purchaser of a put option may exercise the right to sell... more
Seit einigen Jahren wird verstärkt diskutiert, ob so genannte Geoengineering-Technologien geeignet sind, dem anthropogen verursachten Klimawandel entegenzuwirken. Eine Bewertung verschiedener Handlungsoptionen und/oder Technologien ist... more
Abstract The accelerating rate at which all climate variables are changing, and the expected further acceleration of these, combined with the failure to make deep cuts in CO2 emissions and to develop sufficiently effective carbon removal... more
A basic assumption of climate change made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is natural CO2 stayed constant after 1750 and human CO2 dominated the CO2 increase. IPCC’s basic assumption requires human... more
Background: The conversion of carbon dioxide into worthwhile chemicals through photo-catalysis has been a matter of attraction for the last four decades among the scientific community. However, the conversion rate has not yet been... more
The “upfront” embodied carbon (EC) of building materials includes the accumulated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from harvesting, manufacturing and transportation processes, and is becoming more widely recognized as a major... more
To avoid dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system, two mitigation measures are possible: reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing greenhouse gas sinks. This article starts by explaining that there are strong... more
This papers aims to explore future policy challenges and promises of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. The investigation is motivated by needs to drastically reduce CO2 concentration levels in order to mitigate future harms... more
Chapter 5 (“Governing BECCS: “Slippery Slope” or “Uphill Struggle”?”) highlights how BECCS and other large-scale interventions in the Earth’s climate system, proposed to moderate anthropogenic global warming, are commonly portrayed as... more
Framing solutions to climate change as natural strongly influences their acceptability, but what constitutes a ‘natural’ climate solution is selected, not self-evident. We suggest that the current, narrow formulation of natural climate... more
Geoengineering is the deliberate and large-scale intervention in the Earth's climate system in an attempt to mitigate the adverse effects of global warming. Now that climate emergency is upon us, claims that geoengineering is inevitable... more
Reducing CO2 emissions for addressing climate change concerns is becoming increasingly important as the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has increased rapidly since the industrial revolution. Carbon capture and storage is the process... more
As the climate crisis intensifies in its impacts, discussions around the deployment of geoengineering solutions in case other interventions fail or prove insufficient have figured in research and have even been on the agenda of the United... more
Chapter 6 (“Multilevel Policy Incentives for BECCS in Sweden”) builds on the high potential for BECCS in Sweden identified in chapter 4, summarizing the current policy incentives for BECCS research, development, demonstration, and... more
The energy efficiency of hydrogen recovery from mixtures of CO2, H2O, and H2 by a polymer electrolyte hydrogen pump (PEHP) has been evaluated. The PEHP pumps protons across the polymer electrolyte, producing >99.99% pure H2 and a... more
This paper draws on a recent global assessment of carbon dioxide removal (or negative emissions) technologies (NETs) undertaken by the author for Friends of the Earth in the UK. Alongside criteria such as cost and technical readiness, the... more
Technical fixes are highly favoured by most decision-makers because they involve the least disruption to existing social and economic order. However, in today’s ‘full world’ they often meet with unintended consequences. In this chapter we... more
Results are presented on the development of reversible sorbents for the combined carbon dioxide and trace contaminant (TC) removal for use in Extravehicular Activities (EVAs). Since ammonia is the most important TC to be captured, data on... more
Over the last five years there has been increased scientific interest in the role carbon dioxide removal (CDR), or ‘ negative carbon dioxide emissions ’ , might play in addressing anthropogenic climate change. CDR is typically understood... more
The world aquifers are estimated to have total storage capacity larger than three trillion tons of carbon dioxide. Systematic drilling survey for oil exploration suggests that the annual 70 million tons carbon dioxide injection is... more
Geoengineering (på dansk ’klimaengineering’) dækker over vidt forskellige idéer til, hvordan der kan gribes direkte ind i klimasystemet med teknologi, uden dermed at reducere udslip af drivhusgasser. Forskerne arbejder på at finde... more
In the early days of industrialisation,economists believed that the ramifications of economic growth will far outweigh the potential damage to the environment. Today the concern is the rising magnitude of... more
Proposed ways of governing climate engineering have most often been supported by narrowly framed and unreflexive appraisals and processes. This article explores the governance implications of a Deliberative Mapping project that, unlike... more
As Earth continues to experience increased global warming, biological species on Earth are pushed to constantly modify and adapt to the changing Earth’s climate in order to survive. This environmental pressure might push some of the more... more
