Abstract

This paper focuses on policy instruments designed to drive the preferential adoption of two technology types – involving carbon-conservative processing of the products of the land commercially as food, fibre and fuel (biofuel) – whilst, through tradability, generating the cash flow needed to finance the necessary capital investments. These are technologies for getting carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the atmosphere, and technologies for stocking it (or carbonaceous material derived from atmospheric CO2 somewhere other than in the atmosphere.
