Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to discuss climate mitigation efforts, including technology to remove CO2 from the atmosphere

 UN scientists are likely to weigh up technology to remove CO2 from the
atmosphere, as they gather to finalise a key report. This idea will be one
of many solutions considered over the next two weeks by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Also in attendance will
be government officials from all over the world, who will need to approve
every line in the summary report. It is due to be published on 4 April. The
kind of carbon removal approaches the report will consider will likely
include tree planting and agriculture, as well as the more advanced
technological approaches that use large machines to remove the carbon from
the air. They will also look at combined approaches, where land is used to
grow crops which can be burned for energy while the carbon is captured and
buried.
