摘要

净零排放目标已迅速成为气候政策的指导原则,这意味着使用二氧化碳清除(CDR)来补偿剩余排放。与此同时,从社会科学的角度来看,(未来)剩余排放的程度及其在各经济部门和活动之间的分布迄今为止还很少受到关注。这是一个研究空白,因为在低碳转型的政治经济学中,剩余排放的分布和所需 CDR 的相应数量很可能会引起激烈的争议。在此,我们从被认为占未来残余排放很大比例的行业(水泥、钢铁、化工和航空)以及欧盟的石油和天然气行业的角度,研究 CDR 的功能。我们还探讨了这些部门是否要求对部门外的残余排放进行补偿,是否对这些要求进行量化,以及如何证明这些要求的合理性。依靠解释性和定性分析,我们使用了欧洲主要行业协会发布的去碳化或净零路线图,以及他们针对欧盟动员 CDR 的政策倡议发表的声明和公众咨询意见。我们的研究结果表明,虽然 CDR 技术在实现路线图中的净零排放方面发挥了重要的抽象功能,但剩余排放的程度以及实现相应负排放水平的责任在很大程度上仍未明确。这就有可能忽略剩余排放问题上悬而未决的分配冲突,而这些冲突可能与各协会所倡导的不同技术转型途径上的冲突交织在一起。

Whose negative emissions? Exploring emergent perspectives on CDR from the EU's hard to abate and fossil industries
Net zero targets have rapidly become the guiding principle of climate policy, implying the use of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to compensate for residual emissions. At the same time, the extent of (future) residual emissions and their distribution between economic sectors and activities has so far received little attention from a social science perspective. This constitutes a research gap as the distribution of residual emissions and corresponding amounts of required CDR is likely to become highly contested in the political economy of low-carbon transformation. Here, we investigate what function CDR performs from the perspective of sectors considered to account for a large proportion of future residual emissions (cement, steel, chemicals, and aviation) as well as the oil and gas industry in the EU. We also explore whether they claim residual emissions to be compensated for outside of the sector, whether they quantify these claims and how they justify them. Relying on interpretative and qualitative analysis, we use decarbonization or net zero roadmaps published by the major sector-level European trade associations as well as their statements and public consultation submissions in reaction to policy initiatives by the EU to mobilize CDR. Our findings indicate that while CDR technologies perform an important abstract function for reaching net zero in the roadmaps, the extent of residual emissions and responsibilities for delivering corresponding levels of negative emissions remain largely unspecified. This risks eliding pending distributional conflicts over residual emissions which may intersect with conflicts over diverging technological transition pathways advocated by the associations.
