In this webinar,  Professor Niall MacDowell from Imperial College London will present an overview of the project ‘Comparative assessment and region-specific optimisation of GGR’ and its main findings. It is one of eleven science components of the Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) programme.

At present, the technical feasibility, economics, implementation mechanisms and wider social and environmental implications of GGR technologies remain relatively poorly understood. It is highly uncertain that GGR technologies can be implemented at the scales likely to be required to avoid dangerous climate change and without causing significant co-disbenefits or unintended consequences.

The project presents a unique combination of a multi-scale assessment of the technical performance of GGR technologies with an analysis of their political economy and social license to operate, with a particular focus on how these elements vary around the world and how such considerations impact region-specific GGR technology portfolios.

The webinar will be presented through zoom and registration is required.
