A path to achieve a net-zero greenhouse gas economy
A new report co-authored by scientists at Penn’s Kleinman Center charts a path for the U.S. to achieve a net-zero greenhouse gas economy by 2050.
A new report co-authored by 68 scientists from more than a dozen institutions—including the University of Pennsylvania—offers a first-of-its-kind high-resolution assessment of carbon dioxide (CO2) removal (CDR) in the United States.
“Roads to Removal: Options for Carbon Dioxide Removal in the United States” charts a path for the United States to achieve a net-zero greenhouse gas economy by 2050—ensuring the nation’s climate security and resilience by cleaning up Earth’s atmosphere and addressing the root cause of climate change.
The report provides an integrated analysis of the CDR techniques and resources that are currently available, along with the costs that will be incurred on the path to net-zero.
