Relative benefits of allocating land to bioenergy crops and forests vary by region

Carbon dioxide removal is essential for achieving the Paris Agreement targets. Here we compare bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) and afforestation and reforestation in terms of their carbon rem...

Paris Agreement requires substantial, broad, and sustained policy efforts beyond COVID-19 public stimulus packages

It has been claimed that COVID-19 public stimulus packages could be sufficient to meet the short-term energy investment needs to leverage a shift toward a pathway consistent with the 1.5 °C target of the Paris...

Emissions rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic

Global CO₂ emissions in 2021 were only 1% less than the record levels of 2019, driven by increases in power- and industry-related emissions from China and India and a return of the carbon intensity of electricity...

Spatially explicit analysis identifies significant potential for bioenergy with carbon capture and storage in China

As China ramped-up coal power capacities rapidly while CO₂ emissions need to decline, these capacities would turn into stranded assets. To deal with this risk, a promising option is to retrofit these capacities t...
