Exploring resilient alternatives in community energy systems planning to address parameter and structural hybrid uncertainties
A window of (missed) opportunity? A comprehensive stocktake and energy-system impact assessment of global Covid-19 recovery packages
COVID-19 reshaped global economic priorities at the time, with recovery packages offering unprecedented fiscal stimuli aimed at revitalising economies from the impacts of the pandemic and associated policy responses—including lockdowns. While these packages were quickly framed as an opportunity for aligning socioeconomic recovery spending with near- and longer-term climate goals, early assessments of their decarbonisation footprint were constrain…
A multimodel analysis of post-Glasgow climate targets and feasibility challenges
Future use of natural gas under tightening climate targets
Natural gas has developed as a prominent energy source across the world over the last century. However, its use in the future will be constrained by evolving climate goals, and an optimal role for natural gas in a future 1.5 °C world is debated. We conduct a systematic review of the literature, and analysis of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change SR1.5 scenarios to understand the role of natural gas in a 1.5 °C world. We also examine key…
Cutting emissions outside borders
Methane emissions along biomethane and biogas supply chains are underestimated
Although natural gas generates lower CO2 emissions, gas extraction, processing, and distribution all release methane, which has a greater global warming potential than CO2. Biomethane and biogas that use organic wastes as a feedstock have emerged as alternatives to natural gas, with lower carbon and methane emissions. However, the extent to which methane is still emitted at various stages along biogas and biomethane supply chains remains unclear.…
A multi-model analysis of long-term emissions and warming implications of current mitigation efforts
Cost reductions in renewables can substantially erode the value of carbon capture and storage in mitigation pathways
Confronting mitigation deterrence in low-carbon scenarios
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) features heavily in low-carbon scenarios, where it often substitutes for emission reductions in both the near-term and long-term, enabling temperature targets to be met at lower cost. There are major concerns around the scale of CDR deployment in many low-carbon scenarios, and the risk that anticipated future CDR could dilute incentives to reduce emissions now, a phenomenon known as mitigation deterrence. Here we cond…
An inter-model assessment of the role of direct air capture in deep mitigation pathways
The feasibility of large-scale biological CO 2 removal to achieve stringent climate targets remains unclear. Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) offers an alternative negative emissions technology (NET) option. Here we conduct the first inter-model comparison on the role of DACCS in 1.5 and 2 °C scenarios, under a variety of techno-economic assumptions. Deploying DACCS significantly reduces mitigation costs, and it complements rather th…
