The planet’s capacity to store carbon-dioxide emissions in rock formations is much smaller than previous estimates suggest and it could run out as early as 2200, according to a study1 published in Nature today.To meet the goal of the 2015 Paris agreement — limiting global warming to 1.5–2 °C above pre-industrial temperatures — vast amounts of CO2 will need to be removed from the atmosphere.

And what would meaningful integration mean for risk pricing, portfolio strategy, and regional growth? This article examines the structural, regulatory, and political barriers to that integration, outlines practical steps toward a more connected regional market,…
