Towards a negative-emission society

Xiang Li

Negative carbon emissions are proved necessary to limit global temperature increase below 1.5C compared to pre-industrial levels. (a) Reducing carbon sources and (b) increasing negative emissions are two effective ways to achieve this goal. (a) involves th ...

Swiss Negative Emissions Fund – paying for Net Zero

Philippe Thalmann, Sascha Nick

In this paper, we propose setting up a fund to finance the removal of all Swiss territorial GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions from 2030. The fund will accelerate decarbonization and help reach annual net zero emissions around 2040, and then progressively remo ...

Towards true climate neutrality for global aviation: a Negative Emissions Fund for Airlines

Philippe Thalmann, Sascha Nick

What would it take for aviation to become climate-neutral by 2050? We develop and model a trajectory for aviation to reduce its CO2 emissions by 90% by 2050, down to a level where all residual emissions can be removed from the atmosphere without crowding o ...

Numerical Scheme for the Large-scale Geomechanical Simulations of CO2-storage

Emil Gallyamov

CO2 geological storage implies injecting supercritical carbon dioxide in deep geological formations. CO2 geological storage is currently the only available Negative Emission Technology with sufficient proven capabilities to significantly contribute to the ...

Key CCS topics: Worldwide deployment, EOR side-effects and Switzerland’s potential

Jean-André Tony Davy-Guidicelli

This study provides an evaluation of the industrial CO2 management potential thanks to Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS), thanks to an analysis of the current worldwide deployment and near future projections of these technologies. To produce these res ...

2021

Carbon removal, including carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and negative emission technologies (NET), is an important but small part of climate action, unlikely to scale beyond 5-10% percent of current emissions, in the 2-3 critical decades we ...
