Bridging current knowledge gaps to enable the UPTAKE of carbon dioxide removal methods

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

UPTAKE aims to facilitate the sustainable upscaling of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods by developing a set of robust strategiesthrough technical, theoretical, and practical analysis accompanied by interactive dialogue within a CDR stakeholder forum. As a result,UPTAKE will develop a harmonised, comprehensive, inclusive, integrated, and transparent CDR knowledge inventory to evaluate a widerange of CDR technologies and methods, quantifying their national, European, and global costs, effectiveness, and removal potentialas well as risks, constraints, and side-effects at different scales, and their prospects of technological progress. The UPTAKE approachwill allow the assessment of geographical, sectoral, socioeconomic, demographic, and temporal trade-offs, co-benefits, and opportunitiesemerging from portfolios of different CDR methods. The enhanced socio-technical understanding of CDR methods will feed into anensemble of state-of-the-art integrated assessment models (IAMs), which will help improve the integration of CDR methods given theEU policy objectives set for 2030, 2050, and beyond climate neutrality. UPTAKE will assess CDR governance and policy frameworksconsidering social acceptance, accountability, monitoring, and regulations for sustainable CDR rollout at scale. As a result, UPTAKEwill generate an open and interactive CDR roadmap explorer to investigate strategies that are resilient to risks of failure and disruption,and minimise adverse impacts on society, economy, and the environment, aiming for a just, inclusive, and sustainable transition
