Fecha de publicación: | sep-2018 | Editor: | Elsevier | Citación: | International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control 76: 85-91 (2018) | Resumen: | The reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission rates alone appears insufficient to limit the rise in global temperatures. Negative Emission Technologies (NETs) can be helpful in this critical goal by actively removing CO from the atmosphere. Industrialised countries like Scotland will require NETs to address their climate targets and reach net-zero carbon emissions in a timely manner. However, the implementation of NETs has varied energy, economic and environmental implications that need to be analysed in detail. In this paper, we explore the potential energy and economic costs for implementation of land-based NETs in Scotland. This analysis is based on the calculated averaged costs of the different technologies and the availability of resources for its implementation in Scotland. We found that the country has a maximum technical potential to abate 90–100% of its annual CO emissions by means of land-based NETs, thanks to its low annual emissions and large land area for implementation of NETs. Even in less optimistic scenarios, Scotland is exceptionally well suited for land NETs, which can complement and enhance the potential of more conventional technologies, like renewable energy resources. Our results show that Scotland could lead the transformation towards a carbon-neutral society | Descripción: | 7 pages, 3 figures, 1 table | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.06.021 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/175009 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.06.021 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.06.021 issn: 1750-5836 |
