This event aims at bringing together climate and biomass scientists, modelers and experts, to assess and discuss on the realistic potential of biomass-based negative emissions technologies and practices (BECCS, Biochar, SOC Sequestration) and their scalable deployment pathways to contribute to climate neutrality.
The event will provide an overview on the role of biomass-based NETPS in assessment scenarios at EU and global scale, as well as the preliminary results emerging from different modelling works and other activities developed within the NEGEM project, to assess both the potentials and the possible impacts of biomass-based NETPs, in terms of technological parameters, deployment within the planetary boundaries, carbon removal efficiency, interdependencies with the food system, and socio-economic aspects.
A final discussion will wrap up the views and feedback collected, to feed them into a general framework for scalable NETPs deployment pathways, and to ultimately build a vision informing the policy debate at EU and international level.
