Does wood bioenergy help or harm the climate
The EU, UK, US, and other nations consider wood to be a carbon neutral fuel, ignoring the carbon dioxide emitted from wood combustion in their greenhouse gas accounting. Many countries subsidize wood energy – often by burning wood pellets in place of coal for electric power – to meet their renewable energy targets. But can wood bioenergy help cut greenhouse emissions in time to limit the worst damage from climate change? The argument in favor see…

13 015007), which found that using wood to produce electricity can worsen climate change at least through 2100, even if wood displaces coal. The result arises because (1) wood generates more CO 2 /kWh than coal, creating an initial carbon debt; (2) regrowth of harvested land can remove CO 2 from the atmosphere, but takes time and is not certain; and (3) until the carbon debt is repaid, atmospheric CO 2 is higher, increasing radiative forcing and …
Ratcheting ambition to limit warming to 1.5 °C – trade-offs between emission reductions and carbon dioxide removal
Mitigation scenarios to limit global warming to 1.5 °C or less in 2100 often rely on large amounts of carbon dioxide removal (CDR), which carry significant potential social, environmental, political and economic risks. A precautionary approach to scenario creation is therefore indicated. This letter presents the results of such a precautionary modelling exercise in which the models C-ROADS and En-ROADS were used to generate a series of 1.5 °C mit…
Does replacing coal with wood lower CO 2 emissions? Dynamic lifecycle analysis of wood bioenergy
Bioenergy is booming as nations seek to cut their greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union declared biofuels to be carbon-neutral, triggering a surge in wood use. But do biofuels actually reduce emissions? A molecule of CO 2 emitted today has the same impact on radiative forcing whether it comes from coal or biomass. Biofuels can only reduce atmospheric CO 2 over time through post-harvest increases in net primary production (NPP). The climate…
