Boysen, Lena R.; et al. (2016): Impacts devalue the potential of large-scale terrestrial CO2 removal through biomass plantations

Boysen, Lena R.; Lucht, Wolfgang; Gerten, Dieter; Heck, Vera (2016): Impacts devalue the potential of large-scale terrestrial CO2 removal through biomass plantations. In Environ. Res. Lett. 11 (9), p.[nbsp]95010. DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/11/9/095010.

„Here, we use a spatially explicit process-based biosphere model to systematically quantify the potentials and trade-offs of a range of BP scenarios dedicated to tCDR, representing different assumptions about which areas are convertible. Based on a moderate CO₂ concentration pathway resulting in a global mean warming of 2.5 °C above preindustrial level by the end of this century—similar to the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5—we assume tCDR to be implemented when a warming of 1.5 °C is reached in year 2038.“
