The role of negative CO2 emissions for reaching 2 °C—insights from integrated assessment modelling

et al. 2013

Limiting climate change to 2°C with a high probability requires reducing cumulative emissions to about 1600 GtCO 2 over the 2000-2100 period. This requires unprecedented rates of decarbonization even in the short-run. The availability of the option of net negative emissions, such as bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) or reforestation/ afforestation, allows to delay some of these emission reductions. In the paper, we assess the demand and potential for negative emissions in particular from BECCS. Both stylized calculations and model runs show that without the possibility of negative emissions, pathways meeting the 2°C target with high probability need almost immediate emission reductions or simply become infeasible. The potential for negative emissions is uncertain. We show that negative emissions from BECCS are probably limited to around 0 to 10 GtCO 2 /year in 2050 and 0 to 20 GtCO 2 /year in 2100. Estimates on the potential of afforestation options are in the order of 0-4 GtCO 2 /year. Given the importance and the uncertainty concerning BECCS, we stress the importance of near-term assessments of its availability as today's decisions has important consequences for climate change mitigation in the long run.

“…Safety and efficacy concerns inherent to the carbon dioxide capture, transportation, and storage processes worry the public and their representatives, introducing the potential for siting and business development inefficiencies that could prevent the technology from taking root in the marketplace or reaching its full potential as a greenhouse gas mitigation strategy. Social acceptance is thus a dual challenge: not only might lack of acceptance prevent facility and storage siting for a mature CCS technologies, but it has already revealed its potential for scuttling pilot projects such as Barendrecht (Brunsting, et al, 2011) [1], threatening to prevent CCS from germinating in the marketplace at all.…”

As with many technologies, carbon capture and storage (CCS) faces social acceptance challenges that can impact the pace of its development and deployment. Previous studies on the social acceptance of CCS have tended to rely on case studies of pilot projects or surveys of decision makers and the general public. Here, we take a different approach, using real world data about the social acceptance of hydraulic fracturing technologies to glean lessons for future carbon storage efforts. Hydraulic fracturing has many of the same operations, risks, and social narratives as carbon storage, making it a valid comparison. We conduct a statistical analysis on the relationship between various state demographic and economic factors and the stringency of state regulations governing the hydraulic fracturing industry. As a complement to this analysis, we conduct a comparative case study on the development of hydraulic fracturing regulations in New York and Pennsylvania. We find robust statistical evidence that familiarity with the oil and gas industry is associated with a decrease in regulatory variance among states where hydraulic fracturing takes place. Moreover, we identify a tension between regulatory control of hydraulic fracturing at the state level and regulatory control at the local level. This dynamic suggests that carbon storage policymakers and industrial leaders should emphasize local engagement in addition to state-level participation.

“…Second, we analyze five case studies of CO 2 storage projects in the light of the reviewed literature and discuss alternative explanations for the successes and failures of the CO 2 storage siting proposals. Full underpinning reports of our case studies [19,20,21] and complementary papers [22,23] are also available.…”

Public Responses to Co₂ Storage Sites: Lessons from Five European Cases

Studies of the factors involved in public perceptions of CO 2 storage projects reveal a level of complexity and diversity that arguably confounds a comprehensive theoretical account. To some extent, a conceptual approach that simply organises the relevant social scientific knowledge thematically, rather than seeking an integrated explanation, is as useful as any single account that fails to do justice to the contingencies involved. This paper reviews and assembles such knowledge in terms of six themes and applies these themes to five European cases of carbon capture and storage (CCS) implementation. We identify the main factors involved in community responses to CCS as relating to: the characteristics of the project; the engagement process; risk perceptions; the actions of the stakeholders; the characteristics of the community, and the socio-political context.
