Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon capture and storage from fossil fuels and biomass - Costs and potential role in stabilizing the atmosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present estimates of the costs and conversion efficiency of electricity, hydrogen and heat generation from fossil fuels and biomass with CO2 capture and storage, and calculate costs of stabilizing atmospheric CO2 concentration at 350 and 450 ppm.
Journal ArticleDOI
The feasibility of low CO2 concentration targets and the role of bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS)

TL;DR: This article used three global energy system models to investigate the technological and economic attainability of meeting CO2 concentration targets below current levels and showed that negative emission technologies (e.g., biomass energy with carbon capture and storage) significantly enhances the possibility to meet low concentration targets (at around 350 ppm CO2).
Journal ArticleDOI
Managing climate risk.

TL;DR: Increasing deployment of sustainable bioenergy with carbon removal and sequestration, together with structural shift toward low carbon-intensive fuels, will turn out to be instrumental for such a risk-limiting regime and might offer ancillary benefits for sustainable development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential market niches for biomass energy with CO2 capture and storage—Opportunities for energy supply with negative CO2 emissions
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of biomass energy with CO2 capture and storage (BECS) in industrial applications is presented, where sugar cane-based ethanol mills and chemical pulp mills are identified as market niches with promising prospects for BECS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential and cost-effectiveness of CO2 reductions through energy measures in Swedish pulp and paper mills
TL;DR: In this article, the potential CO2 reduction and cost of carbon dioxide reduction in Swedish pulp and paper mills were investigated using two criteria, namely potential and cost, and the results indicated an accumulated reduction potential of up to 8 MtCO2/y (14% of the Swedish net emissions).
