Academic knowledge on solutions to remove CO2 is growing. However, research needs to connect with policy communities, industry and the public to achieve results on the way to climate neutrality.
Jan C. Minx, head of working group "Applied Sustainability Science" at MCC explains technologies as a means for removing carbon out of the atmosphere to keep global warming below the crucial 2°C.
The Argentine G20 presidency has three concrete priorities: jobs, infrastructure, and food security. Strikingly though, carbon pricing was not invited for tango.
Political acceptability is the biggest challenge for ambitious climate policy. New insights suggest that carbon prices are more likely successful if revenues are paid back as dividends to citizens.
Dependency on it grows, but the tech is far from ready. We need more research—especially on deployment and scaling-up—as well as rapid emissions reductions to lower the dependency.
The remaining amount of CO2 that can be released in order to keep the temperature rise below 1.5°C is close to zero. Achieving this target won't work without carbon removal technologies.

The recently adopted reform of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is insufficient to trigger cost-efficient decarbonisation of the economy – a carbon floor price is needed.
