Biomass-based Technologies and Practices for Carbon Dioxide Removal
Monday 5 June 2023, 16.15-18.20 CEST, Bologna and Online
This event organized by NEGEM project as a side event of the EUBCE 2023, aims at bringing together climate and biomass scientists, modelers and experts, to discuss about 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.
Access in-person to the event room is free of charge, but requires a registration with a free visitor pass to the European Biomass Conference and Exhibition (click attend-in person below). The event will be also streamed online (click Join online below).
