“…Other challenges exist concerning the dispersed nature of biomass resources, and the required BECCS infrastructure implied by the projections. These issues are included in our supply curves of biomass and BECCS technologies in a stylized manner (see the Appendix for details), and our results are in line with techno-economic analyses (Moreira et al, 2016;Kemper, 2015;da Silva et al, 2018;Tagomori et al, 2018). Nonetheless, the required infrastructure to ensure the supply, trade, conversion, and transport and storage of CO 2 poses significant difficulties which may affect the feasibility of our results.…”

Biomass is often seen as a key component of future energy systems as it can be used for heat and electricity production, as a transport fuel, and a feedstock for chemicals. Furthermore, it can be used in combination with carbon capture and storage to provide so-called "negative emissions". At the same time, however, its production will require land, possibly impacting food security, land-based carbon stocks, and other environmental services. Thus, the strategies adopted in the supply, conversion, and use of biomass have a significant impact on its effectiveness as a climate change mitigation measure. We use the IMAGE 3.0 integrated assessment model to project three different global, long term scenarios spanning different socioeconomic futures with varying rates of population growth, economic growth, and technological change, and investigate the role of biomass in meeting strict climate targets. Using these scenarios we highlight different possibilities for biomass supply and demand, and provide insights on the requirements and challenges for the effective use of this resource as a climate change mitigation measure. The results show that in scenarios meeting the 1.5°C target, biomass could exceed 20% of final energy consumption, or 115-180 EJ Prim /yr in 2050. Such a supply of bioenergy can only be achieved without extreme levels land use change if agricultural yields improve significantly and effective land zoning is implemented. Furthermore, the results highlight that strict mitigation targets are contingent on the availability of advanced technologies such as lignocellulosic fuels and carbon capture and storage.

“…Furthermore, even when removed atmospheric CO 2 is used and permanently stored in the process of EOR, the CO 2 emissions from the use of the recovered oil can be greater than the atmospheric CO 2 removed and stored, thus leading to a net increase in atmospheric CO 2 . In at least one study, 31 the emissions from the combustion of the recovered oil -which otherwise would have remained in the ground-are excluded from the CO 2 balance, and the whole quantity of stored CO 2 is considered negative emissions.…”

The Paris Agreement established global ambitious targets for reducing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, requiring the rapid and extensive development of low carbon technologies, and one of the most efficient is CO 2 geological storage. Among the deep geological formations used for CO 2 storage, the shale layers have been a new emerging field with higher efficiency because they are abundant and have a high content of organic matter that is favorable for CO 2 retention. However, one of the challenges in evaluating a location for potentials reservoirs is the adequate geological characterization and storage volume estimation. The study evaluates the Irati Formation of the Paraná Basin based on wireline logs information within Southeastern Brazil, where most stationary sources of carbon emissions are located. Three-dimensional (3D) implicit modeling techniques were applied not only for volume calculation purpose, but also in the site selection stage, generating thematic 3D models indicating thickness, depth, structures, and distance to aquifer systems. The limestones, shales, and black shales of the Irati Formation were locally grouped into six units considering the geological composition and spatial continuity. Based on the 3D model and reservoir parameters, the organic-rich shale Unit E with a theoretical capacity of 1.85 Gt is considerable for CO 2 storage. The estimated CO 2 storage capacity is promising because it is higher than the total CO 2 locally produced, and it could support the implantation of new projects in this region.
