The urgency of reducing global emissions and achieving #NetZero to mitigate the effects of climate change is becoming increasingly clear. ?? Even if we were stop all emissions tomorrow, the level of carbon in the atmosphere would still be at dangerously high levels. ?? We must use all solutions to tackle this, including carbon removals like #BECCS. ?? A new article published on Drax's carbon removals website explains more. ??

In less than a decade, the term “net zero” has gone from a mere scientific term to mainstream climate policy. Experts say that achieving net zero emissions before 2050 is crucial to avoiding the worst effects of climate change. So, we had to ask: What is net zero emissions really, and how could achieving it help us mitigate climate change? ?? https://lnkd.in/giT96eK3 #climateaction #netzero #netzeroemissions #climatepolicy #fightclimatechange

?? While carbon dioxide heats the atmosphere for centuries, methane disappears within 12 years and black carbon within days. This means reducing them will yield bigger near-term results. Avoiding one tonne of black carbon emissions in 2024 is more than 8 times more powerful by 2030 than by avoiding 1000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, according to the initiative. By reducing superpollutants alone, the world can avoid 0.6 degrees Celsius of warming by 2050, according to the U.N. Climate and Clean Air Coalition.

It’s increasingly clear we must do everything possible to reduce global emissions, achieve #NetZero and avoid the worst effects of climate change. ?? But on our current trajectory, even if we stop all emissions tomorrow, the CO2 in the world’s atmosphere would still be at dangerously high levels. ??? There is no one simple solution to tackling climate change - we need every solution. And carbon removals, like BECCS, are one of those solutions. ?? Learn more in Drax's recent blog. ??

There is overwhelming scientific consensus that carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is necessary to achieving our collective goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-Industrial levels. The 10 warmest years since 1850 have all occurred in this past decade, with 2023 being the warmest on record. In order to combat this trend and meet global climate targets, we need to reduce the total amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is where CDR comes into play. But what exactly is CDR and how can it meaningfully help us to address climate change?

Given the nascency of the carbon dioxide removal (CDR) space and the urgency of the climate crisis, it is critical to support and scale a large and diverse set of innovative CDR solutions and to do so as quickly as possible. These critical technologies remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and durably store it for significant periods of time so that the CO2 cannot continue to exacerbate climate change Take a deep dive into CDR and its impact on the planet in our blog at https://hubs.la/Q02HGLpV0 #VaultIt #climatechange #CDR #carbon #carbonremoval

“Perhaps unintentionally, 1.5°C has been the greatest oversell of the climate community (activists and scientists), given the Paris Agreement clearly states ‘well below 2°C?…?pursuing efforts to … 1.5°C…, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change’. The focus on 1.5°C may have shifted the Overton Window, certainly in terms of net zero pledges, but perhaps not in terms of emission reductions. We will never know. It is long overdue to shift focus back to the wording of the Paris Agreement and its risk framing. We scientists need to learn how to communicate the risks and the benefits of mitigating. Using 1.5°C as a clarion call for climate action has possibly served its purpose. Now is the time to shift to a more risk-based approach based on an ever-evolving starting point.” A thoughtful piece by Glen Peters

Carbon Dioxide Removal (#CDR): An Essential Puzzle Piece of Climate Change Mitigation? ?? Despite over 96% of global greenhouse gas emissions coming from countries that have pledged climate action, our current trajectory is still significantly falling behind the efforts needed for the 1.5°C target established by the Paris Agreement. The latest Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Deutscher Verband für negative Emissionen e.V. (DVNE) study highlights that ramping up global CDR volume to at least 4.5-9 gigatons annually by 2050 will be inevitable to limit global warming to below 2°C or 1.5°C, respectively.? ? Our report explores four scenarios: ???High Natural Sinks: Relies heavily on nature-based methods, posing risks due to low storage permanence. ???Balanced Portfolio: Equally splits between nature-based and technological methods, ensuring resilience and adaptability. ???Slow Cost Degression: Focuses on methods like enhanced weathering and biochar, with limited reliance on high-cost technologies. ???High Tech Removals: Emphasizes technological breakthroughs and substantial investments for long-term durability.
