Open access paper: Greenhouse gas emissions from forest bioenergy systems | 8 January 2019
Mirjam Röder and colleagues published a paper on understanding the timing and variation of greenhouse gas emissions from forest bioenergy systems. Their work finds that the mitigation potential depends on forest management and what products are coming from the whole forest. The paper is published in the journal Biomass and Bioenergy.
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.
Nathan Owen joins the FAB-GGR team at the University of Exeter to work on the UK scale modelling of ecosystem impacts of afforestation and BECCS.Nathan has a PhD in Mathematics and has applied this to projects at the Land, Environment, Economics and Policy Institute, building a connected set of economic and environmental models for the UK and a decision support tool.
