Large-scale implementation of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is often considered to be an important measure to reach the climate targets set out in the Paris Agreement. A new study from researchers at Radboud University, Utrecht University and the PBL...
Biomass will likely play an important role in a climate-neutral, circular economy. At the same time, there is ongoing public debate on biomass. Biomass use, in any case, needs to comply with clear sustainability criteria, and international climate goals should not be called...
Achieving the overall goals of the Paris Agreement will require a deep reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions, ideally by around 40%–50% by 2030. An international study involving modelling teams from around the world has developed scenarios to take stock of current...
Overall, the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is an effective instrument for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In an article published today in the ifo DICE Report, researchers Herman Vollebergh and Corjan Brink from the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency...
In the scientific journal Nature Climate Change, researchers from PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and Utrecht University are presenting a new meta-model for estimating the costs of achieving climate targets of the Paris Agreement, including the main sources of...
New synthesis shows what a wasted decade means for the climate pact made in Paris. New research shows that nations must now do much more and much faster to limit global warming to well below 2 °C, let alone 1.5 °C, as agreed in Paris.
