Seminar Abstract

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR), sometimes also described as Negative Emissions Technologies, together with Carbon Recycle/Re-use, offers the possibility of scalable and significant reduction of CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere that causes climate change. Researchers and governments have been working on a host of different technologies and related policies to advance the use of these technologies. A preliminary techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) of key technologies will be reviewed and discussed in this presentation. The objective is to provide insights on the merits and challenges of these technologies as part of the world’s arsenal to combat climate change.
