Thrän, Daniela; et al. (2020): Roles of bioenergy in energy system pathways towards a “well-below-2-degrees-Celsius (WB2)” world

Thrän, Daniela; Cowie, Annette; Berndes, Göran (2020): Roles of bioenergy in energy system pathways towards a “well-below-2-degrees-Celsius (WB2)” world. Workshop report and synthesis of presented studies. IEA BioEnergy.

„Under the IEA Bioenergy Inter-task project ‘The Role of Bioenergy in a WB2/SDG world’, a workshop was held in Berlin, on 25 November 2019. The objective of the workshop was to examine, synthesize and disseminate information from recent studies that investigate how bioenergy and associated technologies may contribute to achieving the reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are needed to meet the WB2 target. The report summarises the workshop contributions and discussions, assesses the role of bioenergy in WB2 strategies, identifies the current state of knowledge as well as gaps in knowledge that need to be addressed.“

Jeffery, Louise; et al. (2020): Options for supporting Carbon Dioxide Removal

Jeffery, Louise; Höhne, Niklas; Moisio, Mia; Day, Thomas; Lawless, Benjamin (2020): Options for supporting Carbon Dioxide Removal. Discussion paper. New Climate Institute; C2G.

„In this paper we set out to examine the broad policy frameworks that can support the development and upscaling of CDR and, in particular, whether CDR can be supported by offsetting schemes.“

Fyson, Claire L.; et al. (2020): Fair-share carbon dioxide removal increases major emitter responsibility

Fyson, Claire L.; Baur, Susanne; Gidden, Matthew; Schleussner, Carl-Friedrich (2020): Fair-share carbon dioxide removal increases major emitter responsibility. In Nat. Clim. Chang. DOI: 10.1038/s41558-020-0857-2.

„Here we apply two common burden-sharing principles to show how CDR responsibility could be shared between regions in 1.5 °C and 2 °C mitigation pathways. We find that fair-share outcomes for the United States, the European Union and China could imply 2–3 times larger CDR responsibilities this century compared with a global least-cost approach.“
