1 Geoengineering representation in an integrated assessment model - preliminary assessment - Atsushi Kurosawa (*1) Kazuhiro Tsuzuki (*1) Ryo Moriyama(*1) Yuki Ishimoto(*1) Masahiro Sugiyama (*2) Kooiti Masuda(*3) (*1) The Institute of Applied Energy (IAE) (*2) Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI) (*3) Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) Part of research activities were supported by the Environment Research and Technology Development Fund (S-10) of the Ministry of the Environment, Japan. 1 1

2 Objec&ve and Overview n Objective Inclusion of geoengineering and adaptation options to the integrated assessment model. n Geoengineering Ø Solar radiation management (SRM) and carbon dioxide Ø SRM - aerosol scattering in stratosphere, etc. Ø CDR BECCS, air capture, etc. n Adaptation Ø Information exchange with NIES 2

3 Integrated Assessment Model GRAPE - Proposed Modified Framework - Climate impact mitigation countermeasure Energy (+CDR) 15 global regions Climate +SRM&CDR CH4, N2O,F-gases, Geoengineering Cost Macroeconomy 1-D simple climate model - carbon and energy balance - GHGs, Aerosols Biomass Energy Climate Impacts +Adaptation Landuse 3

5 IPCC Expert Mee&ng on Geoengineering: Mee&ng Report n Terminology SRM is not included in Mitigation or Adaptation. There is no clear definition of difference between CDR and Mitigation n Criteria Effectiveness Feasibility Scalability Environmental risks Costs and affordability Detection and attribution Governance challenges Ethical issues Social acceptability Uncertainty 5

7 Stratospheric Aerosols: Transporta&on Cost Aerosol transport by airplanes: bil USD/yr Source: Geoengineering Cost Analysis (Final report)(aurora Flight Sciences Corp., 2011) 7

8 How Much Aerosol Needed? Source: Pierce et al., Geophys. Res. Le,., 37, (2010) About 2Mt-S/yr à 1W/m 2 (6.1 Mt H 2 SO 4 /yr) 8

9 The cost of stratospheric aerosol injec&on depends on uncertain factors Cost uncertainty Aerosol injection cost($/yr) = Unit cost of aerosol injection [$/kg] (material cost + transport&injection) x Amount required for unit aerosol radiative forcing [kg/yr/(w/m 2 )] Depends on engineering consideration (e.g. vehicle, fuel, material injected, injection device) x Radiative forcing required to counteract climate change [W/m 2 ] Depends on forcing stabilization scenarios. Sugiyama, et. al. (2012) and Moriyama, et.al. (2013) 9

10 Revised Cost Es&mates Annual Cost (bil USD/yr/(W/m2)) Aurora + alpha High airport Fuel 3.5$/gal Fuel 6.6$/gal Fuel 9.6$/gal H2SO4 200$/t H2SO4 Airport Depreciation and Interest Flight Crew Spares Fuel Support Personnel In the Aurora (2011), only the aircraft and fuel cost is assessed. Sulphuric acid aerosol cooling effect is the same as that of Aurora(2011) (i.e. 6.1Mt/yr/(W/m2)) Royal Society (2009) stratospheric aerosol injection cost differs. Inclusion of fuel and other factors and their fluctuations would widen the uncertainty range. Extension to materials other than H 2 SO 4. Moriyama, et.al. (2013) 10
