Brazzola, Nicoletta; Wohland, Jan; Patt, Anthony (2021): Offsetting unabated agricultural emissions with CO2 removal to achieve ambitious climate targets. In PloS one 16 (3), e0247887. DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0247887.

"We explore using additional CDR to offset alternative agricultural non-CO₂ emission pathways in which emissions either remain constant or rise. We assess the effects on the climate of calculating CDR rates to offset agricultural emission under two different approaches: relying on the 100-year global warming potential conversion metric (GWP100) and maintaining effective radiative forcing levels at exactly those of RCP2.6."
