Haikola, Simon; Anshelm, Jonas; Hansson, Anders (2021): Limits to climate action - Narratives of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage. In Political Geography 88, p. 102416. DOI: 10.1016/j.polgeo.2021.102416.

"In this paper, we analyse this discussion as it has played out between 2013 and 2019, with a focus on how expert narratives are constructed in the mass media about the possibilities for decarbonisation within the current political-economic order."

"This Perspective therefore calls for governance frameworks for carbon dioxide removal to adjudicate between conflicting approaches to achieving negative emissions not only on the basis of technical efficiency, or even ‘on-the-ground’ social and environmental impacts, but also according to compatibility with socially legitimate visions and understandings of what energy – and more specifically energy use – should ultimately be for in the post-fossil fuel era."

"Two researchers affiliated with the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, alum Lorenzo Rosa and assistant Cooperative Extension specialist Daniel Sanchez, are co-authors on a new study that calculates the potential of one such technology in Europe. The technology involves a combination of biomass energy generation with the capture and storage of CO2, or bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS)."

"This paper contributes to recent debates about the role of the IPCC, and its framing of BECCS, at the science-policy interface."
