Carbon Dioxide Removal Primer
Carbon dioxide removal may be essential; it’s already built into the calculations of the IPCC. Under the current order, however, it’s also economically infeasible. How do you go about creating a $100 billion industry for a product no one wants to buy? The eggplants and the Snack-Gurken represented an admittedly jury-rigged solution. By selling its

Bjørn Lomborg • Smart Solutions to Climate Change: Comparing Costs and Benefits
Negative emissions have been dramatically underfunded in proportion to their importance. This needs to be fixed if we’re going to have a shot at reducing the cost enough to make 10-gigaton-scale deployment possible by midcentury. It will take likely take years or decades for basic research and pilot projects to scale and get cheap enough; so we nee... See more
Ryan Orbuch • We Need To Take CO2 Out Of The Sky
“At the beginning of the cycle, the equipment sucks in air,” she went on. “The CO2 sticks to specific chemicals inside the capture unit. We heat up the chemicals and that releases the CO2.” This CO2—the Climeworks CO2—is then added to the club-soda mixture from the power plant as it makes its way to the injection site. Even without any help, most o
