Abstract: The development and deployment of technologies for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the atmosphere have been recognized as an important part of limiting warming to the "well below 1.5–2°C" target called for in the 2015 Paris Agreement. With global CO₂ emissions still at high levels, CDR technologies are becoming ever more important. In this project we will evaluate the role and value of a broad portfolio of CDR technologies/practices in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5–2°C objectives, and investigate their integration within international/inter-regional carbon markets, as suggested by Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. We will analyze the role and value of international/inter-regional cooperation, and the impact of geopolitical coalitions on meeting the Paris Agreement’s 1.5–2°C objectives.
