A newly released climate report spearheaded by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy spotlights research conducted by several distinguished Michigan State University scientists.
The report, “Roads to Removal: Options for Carbon Dioxide Removal in the United States,” provides an in-depth analysis of ways the U.S. economy can become net-zero in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, a goal established by the U.S. government in 2022. In parallel with priorities to decarbonize the U.S. energy, industrial and agricultural sectors, the report examines strategies on how to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The report, in part, documents research led by MSU scientists Bruno Basso and Phil Robertson into how carbon dioxide can be captured from the atmosphere using bioenergy and cropland-soil management solutions.
The research conducted by Basso and Robertson was also supported by the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center.
