Professor Duncan McLaren from Lancaster University presented on the Assessing the Mitigation Deterrence effects of GGRs project in the last webinar of the current series. Professor McLaren summarised research that aims to unpick the interactions between climate polices and technology, not only in terms of GGR’s material deployment but in terms of the promises and…Continue Reading Assessing the Mitigation Deterrence effects of GGRs: webinar video
Feasibility of afforestation and BECCS for GGR: Webinar video
In our penultimate webinar of this series, Dr Nem Vaughan presented research from the FAB GGR project which is looking at the feasibility of afforestation and biomass energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) for greenhouse gas removal. This highly interdisciplinary project has brought together expertise in economics, social and political science, engineering, life cycle…Continue Reading Feasibility of afforestation and BECCS for GGR: Webinar video
Comparative assessment and region-specific optimisation of GGR: webinar video
The way in which different GGR pathways will work together in the context of evolving energy systems and policy landscapes was the subject of a recent GGR programme webinar presented by Professor Niall MacDowell from Imperial College London. The GGR Programme project – Comparative assessment and region-specific optimisation of GGR – is an international consortium….Continue Reading Comparative assessment and region-specific optimisation of GGR: webinar video
GGR in the iron and steel and industry: webinar video
Greenhouse gas removal in the Iron and steel industry was the subject of our fourth lunchtime webinar which was presented by Dr Phil Renforth from Heriot-Watt University who discussed the potential carbonation of outlying materials from the sector as a means to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. The global potential for CO2 removal through enhanced…Continue Reading GGR in the iron and steel and industry: webinar video
Methane removal strategies: webinar video
In our third lunchtime webinar, Professor Euan Nisbet from Royal Holloway, University of London presented on the project ‘New methodologies to remove methane from the atmosphere’. Methane is a potent global warmer, and is the second-most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas. It has been rising rapidly since 2007. There are many different sources of methane, both…Continue Reading Methane removal strategies: webinar video
The potential of soils to deliver GGR: webinar video
In our second webinar of the GGR programme’s lunchtime webinar series Professor Pete Smith from the University of Edinburgh presented results and continuing research from the SOILS R-GGREAT project which is assessing the potential for soils to deliver greenhouse gas removals and abatement technologies. This consortium project has produced 65 journal publications to date and…Continue Reading The potential of soils to deliver GGR: webinar video
Assessing the limits of GGR effectiveness: webinar video
In the first webinar of the GGR programme’s lunchtime webinar series, Professor Simon Tett from the University of Edinburgh presented insights from the MERLiN (Metrics for Emissions Removal Limits) research project which has been assessing the limits of Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) effectiveness. GGR would be essential in a scenario in which we ‘overshoot’ a…Continue Reading Assessing the limits of GGR effectiveness: webinar video
GGR programme launches lunchtime webinar series
The GGR programme is launching a series of lunchtime webinars, starting on Wednesday 24 February 2021 at 1.00 pm. Each webinar will focus on one of the programme’s science components. Since the programme’s inception in 2017, its constituent projects have been researching a range of areas with the aim of advancing knowledge around GGR. These…Continue Reading GGR programme launches lunchtime webinar series
