This paper explores the consequences of different policy assumptions and the derivation of globally consistent, national low-carbon development pathways for the seven largest greenhouse gas (GHG)…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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

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

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…

This report on decarbonisation options for the ExxonMobil Chemicals Rotterdam is part of the MIDDEN project (Manufacturing Industry Decarbonisation Data Exchange Network) initiated by PBL and TNO. The…

Global environmental assessments play an important role in environmental governance. They provide insights in causes and consequences of environmental change, as well as possible solutions, by…
