Carbon Management Technology Pathways for Reaching a U.S. Economy-Wide Net-Zero Emissions Goal.

ABSTRACT: The Carbon Management Study Group of the 37^th Energy Modeling Forum (EMF 37) designed seven scenarios to explore the role of three potentially key technology suites - point source carbon dioxide capture and storage (PSCCS), direct air capture of carbon dioxide (DACCS), and hydrogen systems (H₂) - in shaping the broader technology pathways to reaching net-zero carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in United States by 2050. Each scenario was run by up to 13 models participating in the EMF 37 study. Results show that carbon dioxide removal technologies were consistently a major part of successful pathways to net-zero U.S. CO₂ emissions in 2050. Achieving this net-zero CO₂ goal without any form of carbon dioxide capture and storage was found to b
