Nils Markusson works on the politics of environmental technology, aiming to understand the relationship between how we think about and use technology in response to environmental problems, and political processes. He has published on cleaner technology, carbon capture and storage, and climate geoengineering. Nils’ recent work applies cultural political economy to CDR in order to understand mitigation deterrence risks.
