Deliberating enhanced weathering: Public frames, iconic ecosystems and the governance of carbon removal at scale

by Admin | Aug 2, 2022

Meeting goals for ‘net zero’ emissions may require the removal of previously emitted carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. One proposal, enhanced rock weathering, aims to speed up the weathering processes of rocks by crushing them finely and spreading them on...

Substantial carbon drawdown potential from enhanced rock weathering in the United Kingdom

by Caroline Kennedy | Apr 25, 2022

Achieving national targets for net-zero carbon emissions will require atmospheric carbon dioxide removal strategies compatible with rising agricultural production. One possible method for delivering on these goals is enhanced rock weathering, which involves modifying...

Exploring cross-national public support for the use of enhanced weathering as a land-based carbon dioxide removal strategy

by Admin | Mar 19, 2021

This study explores how public attitudes across three countries influence support towards terrestrial enhanced weathering, whereby silicate minerals are applied to agricultural land to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. An online survey was administered in...

But They Told Us It Was Safe! Carbon Dioxide Removal, Fracking, and Ripple Effects in Risk Perceptions

by Admin | Mar 2, 2021

Reaching net-zero for global greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2050 will require a portfolio of new technologies and approaches, potentially requiring direct removal and sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide using negative emissions technologies (NETs). Since...

Casting a Wider Net on Ocean NETs

by Admin | Feb 2, 2021

Societal issues involving policies and publics are generally understudied in research on ocean-based Negative Emission Technologies (NETs), yet will be crucial if novel techniques are ever to function at scale. Public attitudes are vital for emerging technologies:...
