Investigating afforestation and bioenergy CCS as climate change mitigation strategies

Environmental Research Letters, 2014
The land-use sector can contribute to climate change mitigation not only by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but also by increasing carbon uptake from the atmosphere and thereby creating negative CO _2 emissions. In this paper, we investigate two

Operationalizing BioSSbD: A safe‐and‐sustainable‐by‐design framework for biorefineries

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Biorefineries are central to the transition toward a circular bioeconomy; however, their increasing scale and technological heterogeneity, and the integration of biological, chemical, and thermochemical processes introduce complex challenges related to safety, sustainability, and operational reliability. Existing Safe‐and‐Sustainable‐by‐Design

Bioeconomy, sustainability, and digital technologies in Haematococcus lacustris biomass and astaxanthin production: advances and outlook

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Astaxanthin is a carotenoid with strong antioxidant properties, used in research on cancer treatment, ocular injuries, and neurological disorders. When produced by the microalgae Haematococcus lacustris, its antioxidant potential is even higher than that of the synthetic molecule, making it particularly attractive for pharmaceutical and ...

Engineered living photosynthetic biocomposites for intensified biological carbon capture

Scientific Reports, 2022
Carbon capture and storage is required to meet Paris Agreement targets. Photosynthesis is nature’s carbon capture technology. Drawing inspiration from lichen, we engineered 3D photosynthetic cyanobacterial biocomposites (i.e., lichen mimics) using ...

BLOEM: A spatially explicit model of bioenergy and carbon capture and storage, applied to Brazil

GCB Bioenergy, 2022
AbstractBioenergy could play a major role in decarbonizing energy systems in the context of the Paris Agreement. Large‐scale bioenergy deployment could be related to sustainability issues and requires major infrastructure investments. It, therefore, needs to be studied carefully.

Shaping Energy Transitions: Sectoral Demand, Climate Risk Exposure, and Renewable Pathways in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Energy is a fundamental driver of economic growth, shaping productivity, industrialization, and long‐term economic resilience. In sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), where energy access remains uneven and infrastructure is underdeveloped, understanding sector‐specific energy demand is essential for designing sustainable energy strategies.

A Sustainability Framework for Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) Technologies

Energy Procedia, 2017
Abstract Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) involves the conversion of biomass to energy, producing CO2 which is sequestered, transported and then permanently stored in a suitable geological formation. Thus, a negative flow of CO2 from the atmosphere to the subsurface is established.

Back to Nature or Technology to the Rescue? Climate Managers' Preferences for Investment in Carbon Dioxide Removal

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms are increasingly looking into carbon dioxide removal (CDR), a set of options to take past emissions of greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Often two basic categories of CDR are distinguished: nature‐based solutions, such as planting trees or restoring wetlands, and technology‐based solutions, such as various forms of carbon capture ...

From Stakeholder Pressure to Strategic Advantage: A Framework of Achieving Environment Sustainability Through Pathway of Carbon Neutrality

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Businesses are increasingly striving to reduce their carbon footprint, with carbon offsetting emerging as a viable pathway towards achieving carbon neutrality. Such efforts signify a demonstrated commitment to fostering environmental sustainability and contributing to a more sustainable future.

Carbon‑removal opportunities and constraints of bioenergy crops on marginal croplands in China

Communications Earth & Environment
Bioenergy crops present a promising solution for climate mitigation and clean energy, yet national-scale deployment is constrained by land availability, crop suitability, water resources, carbon capture and storage, and competing environmental priorities.
