Modeling direct air carbon capture and storage in a 1.5 °C climate future using historical analogs.

Limiting the rise in global temperature to 1.5 °C will rely, in part, on technologies to remove CO from the atmosphere. However, many carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies are in the early stages of development, and there is limited data to inform predictions of their future adoption.

Quantifying operational lifetimes for coal power plants under the Paris goals.

A rapid transition away from unabated coal use is essential to fulfilling the Paris climate goals. However, many countries are actively building and operating coal power plants. Here we use plant-level data to specify alternative trajectories for coal technologies in an integrated assessment model.
