Report: Greenhouse Gas Removal - Royal Society

Greenhouse gas removalCover image Visualisation of global atmospheric carbon dioxide surface concentration by Cameron Beccario, , using GEOS-5 data provided by the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) at NASA Goddard Space Flight 2017 the Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering were asked by the UK Government to consider scientific and engineering views on Greenhouse gas Removal . This report draws on a breadth of expertise including that of the Fellowships of the two academies to identify the range of available Greenhouse gas Removal methods, the factors that will affect their use and consider how they may be deployed together to meet climate targets, both in the UK and Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering would like to acknowledge the European Academies Science Advisory Council report on negative emission technologies ( ), which provided a valuable contribution to a number of discussions throughout this gas Removal Issued: September 2018 DES5563_1 ISBN: 978-1-78252-349-9 The text of this work is licensed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License which permits unrestricted use, provided the original author and source are credited.

Executive summary In 2015, governments from around the world met to agree a framework that would minimise the negative consequences of climate change. The Paris Agreement sets a goal to limit global average temperature increase to ‘well below 2°C above preindustrial levels’, and to ‘pursue efforts’ to limit it to 1.5°C.
