Muri, Helene (2018): The role of large – scale BECCS in the pursuit of the 1.5°C target – an Earth system model perspective. In Environ. Res. Lett. DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/aab324.
„Here, the potential of large-scale BECCS deployment in contributing towards the 1.5ºC global warming target is evaluated using an Earth system model, as well as associated climate responses and carbon cycle feedbacks. The geographical location of the bioenergy feedstock is shown to be key to the success of such measures in the context of temperature targets. Although net negative emissions were reached sooner, by ~6 years, and scaled up, land use change emissions and reductions in forest carbon sinks outweigh these effects in one scenario.“
