BECCS performance can be measured by a wide range of technical and sustainability indicators, which can be negatively correlated. An exclusive focus on BECCS technical performance – CO2 removal and electricity production, can result in negative consequences for the broader environment.
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is essential to deliver the climate objectives of the Paris Agreement. Whilst several CDR pathways have been identified, they vary significantly in terms of CO2 removal...
The international community aims to limit global warming to 1.5○C, but little progress has been made towards a global, cost-efficient, and fair climate mitigation plan to deploy carbon dioxide removal...
This chapter defines afforestation/reforestation (AR) and provides insights into its role and value for achieving negative emissions. It contains a synthesis of the current research knowledge and gaps in the most up-to-date literature on AR, and a complete analysis of AR including forest growth, biogenic carbon sequestration, risk-adjusted carbon sequestration and forestry operations. More specifically, GHG balance, cost and water footprint analyses are carried out at the sub-regional level in five archetypal regions (Brazil, China, European Union, India and United States) over a 200-year time-period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
