Sustainable Financing of Negative Emissions with a CO2 Emitter Liability

Explore the concept of sustainable financing for negative emissions through CO2 emitter liability in this 59-minute webinar hosted by the Institute for Responsible Carbon Removal. Delve into the challenges of incentivizing and funding carbon dioxide removal to meet Paris Agreement goals. Learn about the proposed Atmospheric CO2 Removal Deposits (ACORDs) system, which would require CO2 emitters to finance the removal of at least an equivalent amount of CO2 from the atmosphere. Examine how this approach aligns with producer liability principles and provides incentives for emissions reduction. Discover the potential of this innovative funding source for future generations to achieve negative emissions, as well as its ability to address historical emissions and inequity. Gain insights from guest speaker Professor Anders Lyngfelt of Chalmers University of Technology and moderator Wil Burns as they discuss the feasibility and implications of CO2 emitter liability in the context of responsible carbon removal.
