The challenge of carbon dioxide removal for EU policy-making

Vivian Scott, Oliver Geden

Nature Energy· Volume 3· Issue 5

Abstract

Most scenarios to meet the Paris Agreement require negative emissions technologies. The EU has assumed a global leadership role in mitigation action and low-carbon energy technology development and deployment, but carbon dioxide removal presents a serious challenge to its low-carbon policy paradigm and experience.
