Impact of carbon dioxide removal technologies on deep ... - Nature nature.com Jun 17, 2021 5 facts
measurementEmissions reductions in the analyzed scenarios range from 70% to 140% below 2005 levels, corresponding to 729 to -972 Mt-CO2/year.
measurementBECCS deployment saturates at 110% CO2 reductions (-243 Mt-CO2/year) due to increasing marginal biomass feedstock costs, after which DAC becomes the least-cost CDR technology for further emissions reductions.
claimCarbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) availability impacts power sector decarbonization pathways and helps lower costs associated with CO2 emissions reductions, particularly for higher mitigation levels.
measurementIn the study 'Impact of carbon dioxide removal technologies on deep decarbonization strategies', emissions reductions range from 70% to 140% below 2005 levels, corresponding to 729 to -972 Mt-CO2/year.

Realist Review on Just Transition Towards Low Emission, Climate ... link.springer.com Jan 5, 2026 3 facts
claimGreenhouse gas emissions reduction is easier to measure than social equity and gender equality outcomes within just transition intervention studies.
claimInterventions contributing towards a just transition in the agriculture and food sector are predominantly smaller in scale and focused on adaptation rather than large-scale systemic change or greenhouse gas emission reduction.
claimA mapping of interventions found relatively low incidences of efforts helping to avoid, minimize, or mitigate job losses and negative social outcomes resulting from climate change, and even fewer instances of interventions reporting reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
