Editorial: Charting a Pragmatic Course for Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies
In this Guest Editorial, Daniel L. Sanchez explores a science policy report issued by the American Physical Society, shedding light on the critical role carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies could play in managing carbon dioxide levels. While reducing emissions remains the cornerstone, CDR technologies offer promise.
