Synthetic biology approaches to negative emissions technologies: a technological and ethical appraisal by Dominic Y. Logel, Josh Wodak

“…However, synthetic biology continues to encounter difficulties when implementing and scaling up production due to a combination of hard limits (within biology) and ‘soft’ limits (of social and economic costs). Additionally, NETs, along with Ecosystem Technologies in general, operate as climate technofixes, wherein insufficient thought is given to the ethical quandaries arising from releasing designed organisms into the environment, even under controlled conditions. …”
