Maturity
Long-horizon — largely theoretical today
Why it matters
It may become necessary to limit climate damage if emissions cuts fall short, but it carries serious governance and side-effect risks.
Where it stands
Carbon-removal methods are being piloted; solar geoengineering remains research-only amid deep caution and debate.
How ASIZ approaches it
The discovery loop, applied.
Through the Energy & Fusion center, ASIZ aims the discovery loop at climate engineering: frontier models survey the literature and simulate the possibilities, rank the experiments most likely to resolve the open questions, and partner labs run the decisive ones — with results shared openly.
