Brief Description of Requirement Under the Paris Agreement the UK is committed to working with other countries to achieve global net zero emissions in the second half of the century, which the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has indicated will be necessary to stay below 2°C.
As we approach the middle of the century, there are likely to be remaining emissions in the sectors where it is the most difficult to cut them - in industry, agriculture, aviation and shipping.
Greenhouse Gas Removal technologies (GGRs) are likely to have an important role to play in offsetting difficult-to-cut emissions.
The term "Greenhouse Gas Removal" (or GGR) encompasses any method which removes greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
There is a diverse range of technologies which may be counted as GGR, including: • Afforestation, reforestation and forest management • Wetland, peatland and coastal habitat restoration • Soil carbon sequestration • Biochar • Bioenergy (for electricity, heat or other fuels) with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) • Building with biomass • Enhanced weathering on land • Mineral carbonation • Ocean alkalinity • Direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS) • Low carbon concrete • Other approaches to removing CO2 or other GHGs With few exceptions, GGR development and deployment are constrained by a lack of markets or other policy interventions to encourage deployment of these technologies at scale.
BEIS requires an assessment of potential policy options which might provide such incentives for GGR deployment, both within the UK and as part of international mechanisms under the Paris Agreement.
