This report focuses on the timescales of climate reversibility under a range of Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) scenarios. The experiments...
Executive summary
Very few studies have yet assessed the feasibility of adaptation to climate change on a global scale, and there are limited assessments of...
The implications of global mitigation to achieve different long-term temperature goals (LTTGs) can be investigated in integrated assessment models (IAMs)...
In many low carbon scenario projections, energy efficiency improvements and other demand-side mitigation actions contribute a significant share of energy and...
How can reducing energy demand help keep global warming below 2 degrees? Policy Card C4
People and businesses can be encouraged by targeted policies to change...
By limiting low-carbon energy technology deployment rates to within historical limits, it is possible to keep average global warming to around 2°C by 2100...
How can Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) contribute to meeting 2 degrees? Policy card D2a
Most computer modelled scenarios that limit global...
Most future scenarios of the energy systems needed to avoid dangerous climate change involve the removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide later this century...
This study analyses the dynamics pf previous energy transitions with a view to applying these insights to assess the feasibility of low-carbon scenarios...
