The technological and economic prospects for CO2 utilization and removal

Cameron Hepburn, +9 more
- 07 Nov 2019 - 
TL;DR: The capture and use of carbon dioxide to create valuable products might lower the net costs of reducing emissions or removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but barriers to implementation remain substantial and resource constraints prevent the simultaneous deployment of all pathways.

Scenarios towards limiting global mean temperature increase below 1.5 °C

Joeri Rogelj, +29 more
- 05 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe scenarios that limit end-of-century radiative forcing to 1.9 Wm−2, and consequently restrict median warming in the year 2100 to below 1.5 W m−2.

Sustainability assessment of bio-ethanol production in Brazil considering land use change, GHG emissions and socio-economic aspects

Arnaldo Walter, +7 more
- 01 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, three sustainability aspects of bioethanol production in Brazil were considered, and it was shown that the recent expansion of sugarcane has mostly occurred at the expense of pasturelands and other temporary crops and that the hypothesis of induced deforestation is not confirmed.

Indirect land use changes of biofuel production – a review of modelling efforts and policy developments in the European Union

Serina Ahlgren, +1 more
- 07 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: There is a conflict between the demand from EU policymakers for exact, highly specific values and the capacity of the current models to supply results with that level of precision, which means that alternative policy approaches to ILUC factors should be further explored.

Frequently Asked Questions (1)
Q1. What are the contributions in this paper?

This paper assesses the potential and cost effectiveness of 20 negative emissions in the joint production system of ethanol and electricity based on sugar cane, 21 bagasse, and other residues in Brazil. 23 This study only considers BECCS from fermentation because capturing such CO2 is straightforward, 24 thus potentially representing a cost-effective mitigation option for Brazil compared to other 25 alternatives.
