The Paris agreement promises? How to stay below 1.5-2 C warming, and what does it mean in the context of sinks and sources/Global bioenergy potential
(Oral)
SEE PEER REVIEW
Scenarios that keep temperatures below 1.5°C or 2°C global warming strongly suggest that so-called negative emissions are necessary component to achieve these targets. Bioenergy with carbon sequestration and storage (BECCS) keep being the technology of choice of modellers. This talk first outlines climate targets and delineates necessary versus desirable use of negative emissions. I then discuss the use of BECCS in scenarios. Finally, I focus on recent understanding of the potential on bioenergy and outline further strategies.
