(Climate Now) How do we reach global net-zero emissions by 2050, when there is almost no chance of completely ending our dependence on fossil fuels by that time? The solution will require Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) – a host of natural and technological techniques for drawing CO2 out of the atmosphere, effectively producing ‘negative emission’.

We spoke with Dr. Roger Aines, the Energy Program Chief Scientist and lead of the Carbon Initiative at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, to learn about the various carbon dioxide removal methods, their advantages, costs and challenges, and who is helping advance them.

Excerpt from Climate Now: In order to reach global net-zero emissions by 2050, we must remove CO2 from the atmosphere as well as prevent further emissions. Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) can be accomplished naturally – through forests, soil sequestration, or mineralization – and technologically. In fact, we will need both CDR methods to get to net-zero.

So what technologies exist that remove carbon from the atmosphere? What are their respective costs, how do they compare, and which are already on the market? Watch to find out. Running Time: 14 mins Date: 08.09.2021 WATCH VIDEO; includes transcript
