Banco de evidencia sobre las falsas soluciones climáticas

The document provides a comprehensive critique of geoengineering, categorizing it into carbon removal (CDR) and solar radiation management (SRM). It details specific failures and risks of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS/CCUS), Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), Direct Air Capture (DAC), and marine geoengineering across various global regions, emphasizing that these 'false solutions' often facilitate continued fossil fuel extraction through Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and pose significant ecological and social threats.

• Geoengineering is characterized as a set of risky, unproven, and costly interventions that distract from necessary emission reductions and aim to maintain the fossil fuel economy.
• Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS/CCUS) projects frequently fail to meet their promised capture targets and are often used for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) to extract more petroleum.
• Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) creates risks to global food sovereignty due to the massive land requirements for biomass production and is linked to deforestation.
• Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies are energy-intensive, expensive, and may have significant negative impacts on water resources and marine ecosystems.
• Solar Radiation Management (SRM), including Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), poses irreversible risks to the planet and could lead to a 'termination shock' if stopped abruptly.
• Marine geoengineering, such as Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) and macroalgae sinking, threatens the base of the marine food chain and may introduce toxic metals into the ocean.
• Several countries and regions have seen the cancellation of geoengineering projects due to economic unfeasibility or strong community opposition, such as the SCoPEx project in Sweden and the Genesee project in Canada.
