Why We Need CCS, Part 4:  Carbon Negative Solutions

The amount of emissions mitigated by CCS in various scenarios producing long-term CO2 concentrations in the range of 430-530 ppm. (Credit: IPCC) Click to enlarge.
  • The economic growth ambitions of the developing world combined with the very tight carbon budget prescribed for the 2°C scenario could potentially demand a very large deployment of carbon negative solutions from the middle of the 21st century.
  • CCS is the best candidate for achieving negative CO2 emissions - both in the form of bio-energy with CCS and direct air capture.
  • Extensive modeling studies performed by the IPCC show that removal of this option makes the achievement of the 450 ppm scenario much more expensive or even impossible.
