Forest bioenergy, carbon capture and storage, and carbon dioxide removal: an update - Rapport de l'EASAC

Couverture de la revue

Report by the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council (EASAC) - February 2019

As global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) continue to exceed levels compatible with achieving Paris Agreement targets, attention has been focusing on the role of bioenergy as a ‘renewable’ energy source and its potential for removing CO2 from the atmosphere when associated with carbon capture and storage (CCS). The European Academies’ Science Advisory Council (EASAC) examined these issues in 2017/18, but since then many peer-reviewed papers and international reviews have been published. EASAC has thus revisited these important issues and updates its earlier findings in this commentary.
