There are enormous assumptions in most calculations, including the assumption that «carbon negative» technologies, like capturing CO2 from power plants burning biomass, can be done at a scale remotely relevant to the climate problem (to be relevant one needs to be talking in gigatons of avoided CO2 emissions per year — each a billion tons).

Once the ice reaches the equator, the equilibrium climate is significantly colder than what would initiate melting at the equator, but if CO2 from geologic emissions build up (they would, but very slowly — geochemical processes provide a negative feedback by changing atmospheric CO2 in response to climate changes, but this is generally very slow, and thus can not prevent faster changes from faster external forcings) enough, it can initiate melting — what happens then is a runaway in the opposite direction (until the ice is completely gone — the extreme warmth and CO2 amount at that point, combined with left - over glacial debris available for chemical weathering, will draw CO2 out of the atmosphere, possibly allowing some ice to return).

The university already has initiatives on everything from «urban resilience to extremes» to «negative emissions» — developing ways to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in amounts large enough to matter at climate scale.

The option value for CCS to provide negative emissions is entirely missing from this video's story about why we should develop and deploy CCS at scale today.

First, it assumes no leakage from potential storage reservoirs, which, if it occurred, would increase the amount of negative emissions needed to stay within budget for 2C.

To prevent the worst impacts of climate change, the world will need to reach net - negative emissions, a point at which we're actually removing more carbon from the air than we're putting in.

The study also found that both BTL - RC - CCS (biomass - to - liquids, with recycling of unconverted syngas to maximize FTL output and CCS) and cellulosic ethanol with CCS (EtOH - CCS) have negative GHGI emission values that can be exploited to offset GHG missions from difficult to decarbonize energy sources such as transportation fuels derived from crude oil.

«If there was no constraint of any sort, one could imagine ever - growing positive emissions from fossil fuel burning, compensated by even stronger negative emissions.»

In the near term, federal policy could: i) level the playing field between air captured CO2 and fossil - fuel derived CO2 by providing subsidies or credits for superior carbon lifecycle emissions that account for recovering carbon from the atmosphere; ii) provide additional research funding into air capture R&D initiatives, along with other areas of carbon removal, which have historically been unable to secure grants; and iii) ensure air capture is deployed in a manner that leads to sustainable net - negative emissions pathways in the future, within the framework of near - term national emissions reductions, and securing 2 °C - avoiding emissions trajectories.
