Amonette, James E.; Blanco-Canqui, Humberto; Hassebrook, Chuck; Laird, David A.; Lal, Rattan; Lehmann, Johannes; Page-Dumroese, Deborah (2021): Integrated biochar research: A roadmap. In Journal of Soil and Water Conservation 76 (1), 24A-29A. DOI: 10.2489/jswc.2021.1115A. "A scientific consensus is building that the drawdown of very large amounts (at least 1,000 Gt [1.1 × 1012 tn]) of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere will be needed to stabilize the earth’s climate system at a safe temperature (Hansen et al. 2008; Cao and Caldeira 2010; IPCC 2018, 2019)."

"This map shows county-level estimates of the potential area of new forests (“area of opportunity” in units of acres) and how much carbon those areas could capture (in units of metric ton of carbon dioxide per year). We focused on finding lower cost and more feasible options for restoring forest cover, which included lands already in a natural land use, more marginal agricultural lands, or areas where trees have the potential to provide high additional co-benefits beyond carbon capture, such as flood mitigation or urban cooling."

Job: Policy Advisor, Carbon Capture and Industrial Emissions

No Deadline "Third Way’s Climate and Energy Program designs and advocates for policies to put the United States on the fastest, fairest path to net-zero emissions by 2050. Analysis from leading climate and energy authorities is clear that achieving this goal will require carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) technologies, as well as direct air capture (DAC). We are seeking a policy advisor to lead our team’s research, education, and advocacy work in these fields to ensure the federal policy community is aware of opportunities to support these technologies and the benefits that will come as a result."

Brochure SPP 1689

Climate engineering and our climate targets – a long-overdue debate

This publication was produced in 2019 as part of the public outreach work under the DFG Priority Programme, with only minor changes made for the English-language edition compared with the German edition. Its aim is to promote open social and political debate that is informed by the best available knowledge about the possibilities and risks of the various climate engineering ideas.
