Vaughan, Naomi E.; Gough, Clair; Mander, Sarah; Littleton, Emma W.; Welfle, Andrew; Gernaat, David E. H. J.; van Vuuren, Detlef P. (2018): Evaluating the use of biomass energy with carbon capture and storage in low emission scenarios. In Environ. Res. Lett. 13 (4), p.[nbsp]44014. DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/aaaa02.

„Here, we explore the use of BECCS technologies in a reference scenario and three low emission scenarios generated by an integrated assessment model (IMAGE). Using these scenarios we investigate the feasibility of key implicit and explicit assumptions about these BECCS technologies, including biomass resource, land use, CO₂ storage capacity and carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment rate. In these scenarios, we find that half of all global CO₂ storage required by 2100 occurs in USA, Western Europe, China and India, which is compatible with current estimates of regional CO₂ storage capacity.“
