Carbon Removal Lab
The Carbon Removal Lab examines financing and governance challenges of large-scale deployment of Carbon Dioxide Removal methods. Our priority is to identify feasible policy mixes to enable the scale-up of permanent Carbon Dioxide Removal.
The Carbon Removal Lab's primary goal is to identify policies that effectively incentivize Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) on a large scale and are politically feasible. To do this, they apply an interdisciplinary and policy-focused research approach, conducting policy analyses that address financing challenges in the context of large-scale CCS deployment. Moreover, they examine public opinion on policies that could potentially incentivize Carbon Dioxide Removal in order to address the challenges of CCS deployment. Carbon Dioxide Removal could contribute in essential ways to reaching the Paris Agreement goals, but significant hurdles for deployment persist, making it important to consider the economic and political feasibility of industrial-sized Carbon Capture and Storage applications.
