Project: NEGEM (Horizon 2020), Quantifying and Deploying Responsible Negative Emissions. The aim of this project is to inform policy making by assessing the realistic potential of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and its contribution to achieving climate neutrality. The project is highly interdisciplinary and carried out by a consortium of 16 partners, with the support of the EU Horizon 2020 Program funds.
Role: to conduct original analysis of the political economy of CDR technologies in comparative context, to examine social license to operate of different CDR technologies through surveys, interviews, text analysis of reports, expert elicitations and workshops with experimental design involving NGOs, government representatives, and companies in the energy and agroforestry sectors, to explore the framing of different CDR technologies, to understand the political limitations on scaling up of different configurations, to design realistic CDR deployment scenarios working closely with other partners in the project.
