Attention and positive sentiments towards carbon dioxide removal have grown on social media over the past decade

Communications Earth & Environment
Scaling up CO2 removal is crucial to achieve net-zero targets and limit global warming. To engage with publics and ensure a social licence to deploy large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR), better understanding of public perceptions of these ...

Productivity ranges of sustainable biomass potentials from non-agricultural land

Environmental Research Letters, 2016
Land is under pressure from a number of demands, including the need for increased supplies of bioenergy. While bioenergy is an important ingredient in many pathways compatible with reaching the 2 °C target, areas where cultivation of the biomass ...

Saving resources and the climate? A systematic review of the circular economy and its mitigation potential

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
To achieve the temperature goal of the Paris Agreement, transformative actions are needed. The circular economy (CE) is one concept that gained popularity in recent years, with its proclaimed selling point to combine economic development with benefits to

Women are under-represented in adaptation policy research and are more likely to emphasise justice topics

Environmental Research: Climate
This paper is the first to analyse the role of women authors in fostering justice-relevant topics in climate adaptation research. As representation, citation and payment patterns remain gender-biased across scientific disciplines, we explore the case of ...

Reports of coal’s terminal decline may be exaggerated

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
We estimate the cumulative future emissions expected to be released by coal power plants that are currently under construction, announced, or planned. Even though coal consumption has recently declined and plans to build new coal-fired capacities have ...

Status consciousness in energy consumption: a systematic review

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Access to energy is a precondition for a decent standard of living. Some household decisions on energy consumption are however motivated to maintain or improve status, resulting in social zero-sum games, with environmentally harmful outcomes.

The role of capital costs in decarbonizing the electricity sector

Environmental Research Letters, 2016
Low-carbon electricity generation, i.e. renewable energy, nuclear power and carbon capture and storage, is more capital intensive than electricity generation through carbon emitting fossil fuel power stations.

Secure robust carbon dioxide removal policy through credible certification

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) is a key element of any mitigation strategy aiming to achieve the long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement, as well as national net-zero and net-negative greenhouse gas emissions targets.

Towards typologies of urban climate and global environmental change

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
The beauty of cities is that every city is different. From the homogenizing perspective of global environmental change that speaks trouble. We need an understanding of which kind of cities can contribute what kind of measures to mitigate and adapt to ...

Negative emissions—Part 2: Costs, potentials and side effects

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
The most recent IPCC assessment has shown an important role for negative emissions technologies (NETs) in limiting global warming to 2 °C cost-effectively.
