Comparison of Technologies and Practices for Removing Carbon Dioxide from the Atmosphere

This chapter presents a synthesis of the technology information provided in Chapters 5–10 and compares the technologies and practices covered in this volume with respect to not only their costs and potentials, but also their side effects and general level of readiness. This comparison includes technology-specific implementation challenges, which will be addressed in the second half of this volume and conducts a gap analysis of technological knowledge.
