Spatiotemporal patterns of surface temperature response to forest harvesting in Europe
European forests have been intensively managed for the provision of renewable materials and are a valuable asset for climate change mitigation, adaptation, and biodiversity conservation. Forest harvesting fundamentally alters the physical structure and composition of forests, with consequences for climate regulation services. It can impact the land surface temperature (LST) both diurnally and seasonally, but the net LST impact of historical fores…
Life-cycle assessment of ferromanganese production using biocarbon as reductant and carbon capture and storage
Ferromanganese (FeMn) is an essential alloy whose production relies on metallurgical coke as a reducing agent, leading to hard-to-abate carbon dioxide emissions. The use of biocarbon as an alternative reductant and carbon capture and storage (CCS) are key mitigation strategies of FeMn production, yet their environmental performances are still unexplored. This study evaluates the possible environmental co-benefits and trade-offs of replacing metal…
Paving the way for sustainable decarbonization of the European cement industry
Cement production is a main source of carbon emissions. Decarbonization options exist, but their climate change mitigation potential, feasibility and environmental implications are still unclear. Here we assess 15 decarbonization options for the European cement industry under current and future conditions. Climate impacts per tonne of clinker produced today in European countries vary between 832 and 1,075 kg CO 2 -equivalents. Decarbonization opt…
Energy potentials, negative emissions, and spatially explicit environmental impacts of perennial grasses on abandoned cropland in Europe
Cultivating perennial grasses on abandoned cropland for bioenergy production is a promising option to meet future renewable energy demands at lower risks for food security and environmental degradation. Studies on the potential environmental impacts of perennial grasses mostly focus on specific locations, while effects and potentials of a large-scale deployment on abandoned cropland are still unexplored. This work performs a spatially explicit li…
Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in the post-pandemic era
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose substantial challenges to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Exploring systematic SDG strategies is urgently needed to aid recovery from the pandemic and reinvigorate global SDG actions. Based on available data and comprehensive analysis of the literature, this paper highlights ongoing challenges facing the SDGs, identifies the effects of COVID-19 on SDG progress, and proposes a systematic …
Effectiveness of protected areas edges on vegetation greenness, cover and productivity on the Tibetan Plateau, China
Energy potentials and water requirements from perennial grasses on abandoned land in the former Soviet Union
A ramp-up of bioenergy supply is vital in most climate change mitigation scenarios. Using abandoned land to produce perennial grasses is a promising option for near-term bioenergy deployment with minimal trade-offs to food production and the environment. The former Soviet Union (fSU) experienced substantial agricultural abandonment following its dissolution, but bioenergy potentials on these areas and their water requirements are still unclear. W…
The land–energy–water nexus of global bioenergy potentials from abandoned cropland
Recent global land cover dynamics and implications for soil erosion and carbon losses from deforestation
Changes in land cover are increasingly affecting land surface properties and provision of ecosystem services. Understanding recent historical land cover changes and their interlinkages with key environmental processes is instrumental to better support strategies for land-use management. The recently released products from the European Space Agency and Copernicus Climate Change Service contain high-resolution (300 m) time series of global land cov…
Quantifying the climate response to extreme land cover changes in Europe with a regional model
Many future scenarios expect a key role for the land use sector to stabilize temperature rise to 2 °C or less. Changes in land cover can influence the climate system, and the extent and magnitude of the anthropogenic modifications at local and regional scales is still largely unexplored. In this study, we use the regional climate model COSMO-CLM v.4.8 to quantify the climate response to idealized extreme land cover changes in Europe. We simulate …
Contribution of jet fuel from forest residues to multiple Sustainable Development Goals
Estimating future wood outtakes in the Norwegian forestry sector under the shared socioeconomic pathways
Bridging the gap between impact assessment methods and climate science
Bioenergy and climate change mitigation
Bioenergy deployment offers significant potential for climate change mitigation, but also carries considerable risks. In this review, we bring together perspectives of various communities involved in the research and regulation of bioenergy deployment in the context of climate change mitigation: Land‐use and energy experts, land‐use and integrated assessment modelers, human geographers, ecosystem researchers, climate scientists and two different …
Global Warming Potential of Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Biomass Stored in the Anthroposphere and Used for Bioenergy at End of Life
There is growing interest in understanding how storage or delayed emission of carbon in products based on bioresources might mitigate climate change, and how such activities could be credited. In this research we extend the recently introduced approach that integrates biogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) fluxes with the global carbon cycle (using biogenic global warming potential [GWP bio ]) to consider the storage period of harvested biomass in the a…
Global climate impacts of forest bioenergy
Environmental impact studies of forest bioenergy systems usually account for CO2 emissions and removals and identify the so-called carbon debt of bioenergy through comparison with a reference system. This approach is based on a simple sum of fluxes and does not consider any direct physical impact or climate system response. Other recent applications go one step further and elaborate impulse response functions (IRFs) and subsequent metrics for bio…
Consistent quantification of climate impacts due to biogenic carbon storage across a range of bio-product systems
Impact Assessment of Biodiversity and Carbon Pools from Land Use and Land Use Changes in Life Cycle Assessment, Exemplified with Forestry Operations in Norway
There is a strong need for methods within life cycle assessment (LCA) that enable the inclusion of all complex aspects related to land use and land use change (LULUC). This article presents a case study of the use of one hectare (ha) of forest managed for the production of wood for bioenergy production. Both permanent and temporary changes in above‐ground biomass are assessed together with the impact on biodiversity caused by LULUC as a result of…
Site-specific global warming potentials of biogenic CO 2 for bioenergy
Production of biomass for bioenergy can alter biogeochemical and biogeophysical mechanisms, thus affecting local and global climate. Recent scientific developments have mainly embraced impacts from land use changes resulting from area-expanded biomass production, with several extensive insights available. Comparably less attention, however, has been given to the assessment of direct land surface–atmosphere climate impacts of bioenergy systems und…
