Addressing climate change will require tremendous investment in low- and zero-carbon energy technologies. Estimates are as high as $1 trillion per year (PDF) through 2030.
Some of that investment must be in carbon capture technology, which can reduce emissions from both the power and industrial sectors. Carbon capture could provide 13 percent of global emissions reductions through 2050.

Marrakech, Morocco – Today the Global CO2 Initiative announced major findings and recommendations from its Roadmap for the Global Implementation of Carbon Dioxide Utilization Technologies at the ICEF2016 Roadmap Launch Event at COP22 in Morocco. The Roadmap offers a market assessment and recommendations for the carbon-based products industry (CBPI). The report shows that through broad scale commercialization of products derived from CO2 there are sizable market opportunities while mitigating CO2 emissions.
Sequestering Carbon at the Bottom of the Pyramid: Actionable Science for Climate Change Mitigation View the slides (PDF: 23MB) Most climate change mitigation measures can only focus on reducing future emissions. This is particularly true for interventions and policies that target the most important emission source, the burning of fossil fuels. However, forest and agriculture…
Here you’ll find slides from Klaus Lackner’s Direct Air Capture as a Tool for Carbon Management (PDF: 2.5MB). Lackner is the Director of the Center for Carbon Removal at Arizona State University.

Today the Global CO2 Initiative released key findings on the state of carbon dioxide utilization (CO2U) technologies at the 3rd Innovation for Cool Earth Forum (ICEF) in Tokyo, Japan. The findings are set forth in a draft roadmap prepared as part of the ICEF Innovation Roadmap Project with support from Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization.

The Global CO2 Initiative is partnering with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) of the Government of Japan to develop a first of its kind roadmap for global implementation of carbon dioxide utilization technologies. The CO2 Utilization Roadmap will survey a number of existing technologies that convert CO2 to products, as well as identify future market opportunities and barriers to further development. The Roadmap will outline steps that need to be taken to roll out carbon dioxide utilization technologies based on several variables such as competitiveness, readiness and policy implications.
