Symposium overview:
Carbon dioxide removal from Earth’s atmosphere will be a key component of efforts to keep global temperature increases below those predicted to cause significant degradation of livelihoods, food security, and water supplies in the coming century. Importantly, extensive carbon dioxide removal is projected with high confidence to be required even in scenarios with rapid and deep cuts to greenhouse gas emissions. This will require the development and scaling of a massive carbon dioxide removal industry. However, multiple barriers are currently projected to leave a significant fraction of anticipated CDR demand on the table and the utility of current carbon marketplaces has been highly debated. In this symposium, we will explore the potential of enhanced weathering to provide at-scale permanent carbon dioxide removal and transform carbon marketplaces. We will explore a wide range of aspects of enhanced weathering—from key scientific unknowns to effects on local communities, to factors controlling the costs of this process that will ultimately dictate its impact and
growth.
