Nem Vaughan, Clair Gough, Emma Littleton and Detlef van Vuuren are co-authors on a paper published in Environmental Research Letters. The paper evaluates the assumptions about the use of BECCS in 1.5C and 2C scenarios.
Anna Harper is the lead author of a paper [http://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-05340-z] published in Nature Communications. The paper concludes that carbon removed from the atmosphere through BECCS could easily be offset by losses due to land use change depending upon where biomass is grown.
Mirjam has a new position at Aston University, Birmingham and will continue her work with FAB-GGR on the life cycle analysis of afforestation and BECCS supply chains and the leadership of work package three.
Diarmaid Clery joins the FAB-GGR team at the University of East Anglia to work on the second stakeholder workshop and our policy brief outputs. Diarmaid has submitted his PhD in chemistry and engineering at the University of Leeds where he worked on the impact of biomass combustion on amine sorbents.
