(...) Substantial challenges remain, however, particularly for observing impacts on marine organisms and the resulting implications for marine ecosystems as well as documenting regional- to global-scale impacts on ocean carbon storage. • Cost: Accurate estimation of the cost of a CO2 removal approach at low technological readiness is challenging, and costs presented come with considerable uncertainty.

With the above in mind, we suggest additional texts as follows: • to paragraph 11 a: “including transdisciplinary knowledge development to better understand and eventually manage risks from temperature overshoot on the one hand, and risks and benefits for the marine environment from potential use of emerging techniques for carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation modification on the other.” • to paragraph 11 f: “strengthened governance is needed to manage the risks arising for the marine environment from some responses that are intended to reduce the risks of climate change, including risks from maladaptation, adverse side effects of some emission reduction techniques and carbon dioxide removal measures or solar radiation modification approaches.”

These issues should have been removed from the text from the start. The Population agenda should not be reduced to these issues.

Because all the gases are contained at high pressure, high levels of, particulate, sulfur and mercury removal are possible. Emissions levels from an IGCC unit should be similar to those from a NGCC unit. (...) (see Figure 4) The gas 6 clean-up process is effectively doubled in size to first remove sulfur and then CO2. The CO2 capture and recovery is done at high concentration and pressure and, as such, is cheaper than for CO2-capture from flue gas capture. (...)
