-
With support from the TomKat Center and the Stanford Sustainability Accelerator, scholars are working to scale a fast-acting fertilizer that captures carbon.
-
Future climate damages from past greenhouse gas emissions dwarf the economic harm already inflicted.
-
A Stanford report and preprint study reveals that uncertainty about risk and liability is stopping reforestation carbon credits from scaling up. Its findings point to possible solutions, such as clear risk allocation frameworks, expanded insurance options, and enhanced transparency.
-
A new study shows California can go carbon-free mostly using current and emerging solutions – but to get there, it must overcome regulatory challenges and scale technologies at an unprecedented pace.
-
Entrepreneurs and investors agreed that collaboration will be crucial for enabling the greenhouse gas removal industry to scale up “faster than basically any industry on Earth.”
-
During a recent Sustainability Accelerator event, venture capitalists urged researchers working to scale greenhouse gas removal technologies to focus on cost and seek common ground with a wide range of prospective partners.
-
Stanford’s Sustainability Accelerator convened more than 300 researchers, investors, entrepreneurs, and alumni on campus to learn about greenhouse gas removal and how 18 teams are seeking to enable it on a large scale. Explore highlights from the event.
-
Researchers presented their work on greenhouse gas removal, learned from experts about scalability and finance, and connected with potential investors and partners.
-
Ambitious Greenhouse Gas Removal projects from Stanford’s Sustainability Accelerator are underway. Here’s a look at four innovative ideas that aim to clean our atmosphere.
-
Climate scientist Rob Jackson and philosopher Leif Wenar discussed challenges, ambitions, and moral implications of restoring the atmosphere in a recent Dean’s Lecture Series event.
-
The new process uses heat to transform common minerals into materials that permanently sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide.
-
Researchers found widespread deployment of technologies that pull carbon dioxide from industrial flues and ambient air would be much more expensive and damaging than a hypothetical worldwide switch to electricity and heat from renewable sources – if energy costs, emissions, and health impacts are all taken into account.
-
As the world works to meet net-zero carbon goals, a new study offers a critical reminder: precision matters. The researchers suggest refining how we assess a natural carbon storage strategy to ensure the technology lives up to its potential as a climate change solution.
