Fast growing research on negative emissions (2017, background): “This kicked-off a controversial debate that focused on the feasibility of climate change mitigation pathways that involve large amounts of NETs (Fuss et al 2014, Anderson 2015, Geden 2015, Vaughan and Gough 2016).”
Expert assessment concludes negative emissions scenarios may not deliver (2016, background): “…in the global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels’ (United Nations 2015), closer scrutiny of the feasibility of BECCS becomes increasingly pertinent (Anderson 2015a).”
What if negative emission technologies fail at scale? Implications of the Paris Agreement for big emitting nations (2018, background): “to leave a CO2-only budget for energy and industry from 2015 to 2100: >50%, 898 GtCO2; >66%, 798 GtCO2, consistent with Rogelj, Schaeffer, et al. (2016). Whilst a next step could allocate shares”
Reply to Second comment on ‘The climate mitigation gap: education and government recommendations miss the most effective individual actions’ (2017, background): “This has prompted calls (Anderson 2015) for near-term, profound emissions cuts that may require changes in lifestyle choices from the high-carbon individuals estimated to produce nearly 50% of emissions (Gore 2015).”
The Wellbeing–Consumption paradox: Happiness, health, income, and carbon emissions in growing versus non-growing economies (2019, background): “This 12-fold 486 increase in economic activity would take place over a period when global carbon emissions already 487 need to decline by ~10% per year for a likely chance to meet the 2 °C target without negative 488 emissions technologies (Anderson, 2015).”
Negative emissions—Part 2: Costs, potentials and side effects (2018, background): “…further elevated the issue and emphasized the controversial nature of NETs deployments featured in long-term mitigation scenarios (Geden 2015, Anderson 2015, Anderson and Peters 2016, Gasser et al 2015, Peters and Geden 2017, Lomax et al 2015, Williamson 2016, Parson 2017, Field and Mach…”
Negative emissions—Part 1: Research landscape and synthesis (2018, background): “…both the scenario literature where BECCS studies initially gained prominence, as well more general discussions of negative emissions where scenarios are often used as a starting point (Smith et al 2016, Anderson 2015, Anderson and Peters 2016, Fuss et al 2014, 2016, Gasser et al 2015, Geden 2015).”
A Green New Deal without growth? (2021, background): “All the models projecting that climate stabilization can be achieved while global GDP grows at the normal rate of 2–3% per year rely heavily on negative emissions technologies that are unproven at scale (Anderson, 2015).”
The climate mitigation gap: education and government recommendations miss the most effective individual actions (2018, background): “This has prompted calls (Anderson 2015) for near-term, profound emissions cuts that may require changes in lifestyle choices from the high-carbon individuals estimated to produce nearly 50% of emissions (Gore 2015).”
Fairly sharing 1.5: national fair shares of a 1.5 °C-compliant global mitigation effort (2017, background): “While much can be said about the uncertainties and value judgements involved in such pathways and scenarios (e.g. Anderson 2015; Shue 2017; Faran and Olsson 2017, in this special issue), these are often secondary in scientiﬁc debates.”
Towards a cultural political economy of mitigation deterrence by negative emissions technologies (NETs) (2018, background): “This has helped sustain high-level policy conclusions (most recently in Paris [10]) that climate targets can be met through a managed transition based on energy efficiency, low-carbon energy technologies and NETs, without abrupt and (politically and economically) disruptive transformations in energy”
