TL;DR: It is concluded that a broad range of intensive research and development is urgently needed to produce technological options that can allow both climate stabilization and economic development.

TL;DR: In this article, the advantages and disadvantages of different methods of carbon sequestration are discussed, and the authors conclude that in the short and medium term, carbon capture and storage would almost certainly be cheaper than a full transition to nuclear, wind, or solar energy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine barriers and opportunities associated with these difficult-to-decarbonize services and processes, including possible technological solutions and research and development priorities, and examine the use of existing technologies to meet future demands for these services without net addition of CO2 to the atmosphere.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the many possible technological pathways for recycling CO2 into fuels using renewable or nuclear energy, considering three stages: CO2 capture, H2O and CO2 dissociation, and fuel synthesis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a safe and permanent method of CO2 disposal based on combining CO2 chemically with abundant raw materials to form stable carbonate minerals is introduced, where substantial heat is liberated in the overall chemical reaction so that cost will be determined by the simplicity and speed of the reaction rather than the cost of energy.
