Bioenergy technologies in long-run climate change mitigation: results from the EMF-33 study

Bioenergy is expected to play an important role in long-run climate change mitigation strategies as highlighted by many integrated assessment model (IAM) scenarios. These scenarios, however, also show…

The climate change mitigation potential of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) can act as a negative emission technology and is considered crucial in many climate change mitigation pathways that limit global warming to 1.5-2°C…

Integrated Climate-Change Assessment Scenarios and Carbon Dioxide Removal

To halt climate change this century, we must reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from human activities to net zero. Any emission sources, such as in the energy or land-use sectors, must be…

EMF-33 insights on bioenergy with carbon capture and storage

This paper explores the potential role of bioenergy coupled to carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture and storage (BECCS) in long-term global scenarios. We first validate past insights regarding the potential…

Spatially Explicit Inventory of Sources of Nitrogen Inputs to the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea for the Period 1970–2010

Nitrogen inputs in China’s coastal waters are strongly concentrated in areas close to river mouths and regions with marine aquaculture production

The shared socio-economic pathway (SSP) greenhouse gas concentrations and their extensions to 2500

Anthropogenic increases in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations are the main driver of current and future climate change. The integrated assessment community has quantified anthropogenic…

Are scenario projections overly optimistic about future yield progress?

Historical increases in agricultural production were achieved predominantly by large increases in agricultural productivity. Intensification of crop and livestock production also plays a key role in…

Impacts of climate change on energy systems in global and regional scenarios

Although our knowledge of climate change impacts on energy systems has increased substantially over the past few decades, there remains a lack of comprehensive overview of impacts across spatial…

Co-benefits of black carbon mitigation for climate and air quality

Mitigation of black carbon (BC) aerosol emissions can potentially contribute to both reducing air pollution and climate change, although mixed results have been reported regarding the latter. A…

Modeling Process-Based Biogeochemical Dynamics in Surface Fresh Waters of Large Watersheds With the IMAGE-DGNM Framework

Humans have strongly modified the functioning of the Earth's surface fresh waters, through pollution emissions and infrastructure, which has led to widespread ecological deterioration. Human…
