Geoengineering - a future LWEC activity?

Geoengineering (Planet Earth from the sky)

Living with Environmental Change partners have been considering the need for research activity in geoengineering. Geoengineering is defined as :

  'the deliberate large-scale intervention in the Earth’s climate system in order to moderate global warming”

It includes:

  • Carbon Dioxide Removal
  • Solar Radiation Management techniques

It excludes:

  • Techniques for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Low carbon energy sources.
  • Conventional power/industrial plant carbon capture and storage.

A report from a partners workshop on 20th May 2011 is now available to read together with presentations that were made at the event.

Public reactions to one aspect of geoengineering are captured in a report on Planet Earth online.
