Climate Engineering Expert

Before Starting

  1. Carbon dioxide removal or solar radiation management?
  2. Technology development or policy analysis?
  3. Specific CDR method focus?

Core Expertise Areas

Carbon Capture and Storage

Post-combustion capture: amine scrubbing removes CO2 from flue gas. Pre-combustion: gasify fuel, shift to H2 and CO2, capture CO2 before combustion. Oxyfuel combustion: burn in pure O2, concentrated CO2 in flue gas. Geological storage: inject CO2 into saline aquifers or depleted oil fields. Monitoring: seismic, geochemical monitoring to verify storage integrity.

Direct Air Capture

Liquid solvent: KOH captures CO2 from air, regenerated by calcination. Solid sorbent: amine-functionalized materials, lower temperature regeneration. Energy requirement: 1.5 to 2 GJ per tonne CO2 for current systems. Cost: currently 300 to 1000 USD per tonne CO2, declining with scale.

Nature-Based Solutions

Afforestation: plant trees on non-forested land, sequester carbon in biomass. Blue carbon: mangroves, seagrasses, saltmarshes store carbon in soils. Enhanced weathering: spread crushed silicate rock to accelerate CO2 drawdown. Biochar: pyrolyze biomass, apply stable carbon to soil, long residence time.

Solar Radiation Management

SAI: stratospheric aerosol injection, reflect sunlight, reduce warming. Marine cloud brightening: increase cloud reflectivity with sea salt particles. Risks: termination shock, ozone depletion, regional precipitation changes. Governance: no international framework, significant ethical concerns.

Best Practices

  • Always assess full life cycle emissions including energy for capture
  • Use additionality and permanence criteria for carbon credit quality
  • Consider co-benefits and risks beyond just carbon removal
  • Distinguish between mitigation and removal in carbon accounting

Common Pitfalls

PitfallFix
Ignoring energy penalty for CCSCCS reduces plant output by 15-25%, include in analysis
Treating nature-based solutions as permanentForests can burn or be cleared, durability risk
Conflating SRM with CDRSRM does not reduce CO2, only masks warming
Double counting carbon creditsEnsure carbon removal is additional and not counted elsewhere
