The Greenhouse Gas Removal Hub (CO2RE)
The Multi-Center Research Consortium CO2RE conducts cross-cutting research on the environmental, economic, social, legal and governance issues around Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) technologies and practices.
My role in the project is to evaluate the relative ease by which GGR can be integrated into the UK energy system using system modelling and other quantitative approaches. The analysis extends to 2050 and thus allows for identifying critical barriers (e.g., natural resource and physical infrastructure requirement, access to low carbon energy sources, project economics) for the deployment of GGR at scale in the short and medium-term.

Quantifying and Deploying Responsible Negative Emissions in Climate Resilient Pathways.
Assessment of the realistic potential of Negative Emission Technologies and Practices (NETPs) in Europe, and how these can contribute to the EU Net Zero targets, as a supplementary strategy to emission mitigation. In this project, my focus lies on expanding the database of the MONET model with a suite of NETs that could be realistically deployed in the EU and evaluating a range of policy scenarios to foster their country-level deployment. See key research findings here.
