removal (tCDR) methods depends critically on the timing and magnitude of their implementation. In our study, we introduce different measures of efficiency to evaluate the carbon removal potential of afforestation and reforestation (AR) and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) under the low-emission scenario SSP1-2.6 and in the same area. We define efficiency as the potential to sequester carbon in the biosphere in a specific area or store carbon in geological reservoirs or woody products within a certain time. In addition to carbon capture and storage (CCS), we consider the effects of fossil fuel substitution (FFS) through the usage of bioenergy for energy production, which increases the efficiency through avoided CO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span> emissions.</p> <p>These efficiency measures reflect perspectives regarding climate mitigation, carbon sequestration, land availability, spatiotemporal dynamics, and the technological progress in FFS and CCS. We use the land component JSBACH3.2 of the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM) to calculate the carbon sequestration potential in the biosphere using an updated representation of second-generation bioenergy plants such as <i>Miscanthus</i>. Our spatially explicit modeling results reveal that, depending on FFS and CCS levels, BECCS sequesters 24–158 GtC by 2100, whereas AR methods sequester around 53 GtC on a global scale, with BECCS having an advantage in the long term. For our specific setup, BECCS has a higher potential in the South American grasslands and southeast Africa, whereas AR methods are more suitable in southeast China. Our results reveal that the efficiency of BECCS to sequester carbon compared to “nature-based solutions” like AR will depend critically on the upscaling of CCS facilities, replacing fossil fuels with bioenergy in the future, the time frame, and the location of tCDR deployment.</p>"/> <meta name="citation_publication_date" content="2024/11/14"/> <meta name="citation_online_date" content="2024/11/14"/> <meta name="citation_journal_title" content="Biogeosciences"/> <meta name="citation_volume" content="21"/> <meta name="citation_issue" content="22"/> <meta name="citation_issn" content="1726-4170"/> <meta name="citation_doi" content="https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-21-5005-2024"/> <meta name="citation_firstpage" content="5005"/> <meta name="citation_lastpage" content="5025"/> <meta name="citation_author" content="Egerer, Sabine"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Department of Geography, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Munich, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0000-0002-7202-578X"> <meta name="citation_author_email" content="sabine.egerer@lmu.de"> <meta name="citation_author" content="Falk, Stefanie"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Department of Geography, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Munich, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0000-0002-4552-5455"> <meta name="citation_author" content="Mayer, Dorothea"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Kuratorium für Waldarbeit und Forstwirtschaft e.V., Groß-Umstadt, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0009-0004-1272-0555"> <meta name="citation_author" content="Nützel, Tobias"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Department of Geography, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Munich, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0000-0002-3603-4283"> <meta name="citation_author" content="Obermeier, Wolfgang A."/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Department of Geography, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Munich, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0000-0002-7094-8011"> <meta name="citation_author" content="Pongratz, Julia"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Department of Geography, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Munich, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0000-0003-0372-3960"> <meta name="citation_reference" content="Anderegg, W.

The climate mitigation potential of terrestrial carbon dioxide removal (tCDR) methods depends critically on the timing and magnitude of their implementation. In our study, we introduce different measures of efficiency to evaluate the carbon removal potential of afforestation and reforestation (AR) and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) under the low-emission scenario SSP1-2.6 and in the same area. We define efficiency as the potential to sequester carbon in the biosphere in a specific area or store carbon in geological reservoirs or woody products within a certain time. In addition to carbon capture and storage (CCS), we consider the effects of fossil fuel substitution (FFS) through the usage of bioenergy for energy production, which increases the efficiency through avoided CO2 emissions. These efficiency measures reflect perspectives regarding climate mitigation, carbon sequestration, land availability, spatiotemporal dynamics, and the technological progress in FFS and CCS. We use the land component JSBACH3.2 of the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM) to calculate the carbon sequestration potential in the biosphere using an updated representation of second-generation bioenergy plants such as Miscanthus. Our spatially explicit modeling results reveal that, depending on FFS and CCS levels, BECCS sequesters 24–158 GtC by 2100, whereas AR methods sequester around 53 GtC on a global scale, with BECCS having an advantage in the long term. For our specific setup, BECCS has a higher potential in the South American grasslands and southeast Africa, whereas AR methods are more suitable in southeast China. Our results reveal that the efficiency of BECCS to sequester carbon compared to “nature-based solutions” like AR will depend critically on the upscaling of CCS facilities, replacing fossil fuels with bioenergy in the future, the time frame, and the location of tCDR deployment."> <meta property="og:url" content="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/"> <meta property="twitter:image" content="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-avatar-web.png"/> <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"> <meta name="twitter:title" content="How to measure the efficiency of bioenergy crops compared to forestation"> <meta name="twitter:description" content="Abstract.

In our study, we introduce different measures of efficiency to evaluate the carbon removal potential of afforestation and reforestation (AR) and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) under the low-emission scenario SSP1-2.6 and in the same area. We define efficiency as the potential to sequester carbon in the biosphere in a specific area or store carbon in geological reservoirs or woody products within a certain time. In addition to carbon capture and storage (CCS), we consider the effects of fossil fuel substitution (FFS) through the usage of bioenergy for energy production, which increases the efficiency through avoided CO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span> emissions.</p><p id="d2e154">These efficiency measures reflect perspectives regarding climate mitigation, carbon sequestration, land availability, spatiotemporal dynamics, and the technological progress in FFS and CCS. We use the land component JSBACH3.2 of the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM) to calculate the carbon sequestration potential in the biosphere using an updated representation of second-generation bioenergy plants such as <i>Miscanthus</i>. Our spatially explicit modeling results reveal that, depending on FFS and CCS levels, BECCS sequesters 24–158 GtC by 2100, whereas AR methods sequester around 53 GtC on a global scale, with BECCS having an advantage in the long term. For our specific setup, BECCS has a higher potential in the South American grasslands and southeast Africa, whereas AR methods are more suitable in southeast China. Our results reveal that the efficiency of BECCS to sequester carbon compared to “nature-based solutions” like AR will depend critically on the upscaling of CCS facilities, replacing fossil fuels with bioenergy in the future, the time frame, and the location of tCDR deployment.</p></div><span class="abstract-mobile-bottom-border mobile-bottom-border hide-on-desktop hide-on-tablet" style="display:none"></span></div> <div id="oldMobileDownloadBox" class="widget dark-border hide-on-desktop download-and-links"> <div class="legend journal-contentLinkColor">Download & links</div> <div class="content"> <ul class="additional_info no-bullets no-styling"> <li> <a class="triangle" data-toggle=".box-notice" data-duration="300" title="PDF Version (8075 KB)" href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024.pdf" > Article (PDF, 8075 KB) </a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="downloadBoxOneColumn" class="widget dark-border hide-on-desktop download-and-links"> <div class="legend journal-contentLinkColor">Download & links</div> <div class="content"> <ul class="additional_info no-bullets no-styling"> <li><a class="triangle" title="PDF Version (8075 KB)" href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024.pdf">Article</a> <nobr>(8075 KB)</nobr> </li> <li> <a class="triangle" title="XML Version" href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024.xml">Full-text XML</a> </li> <li><a class="triangle" href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024.bib">BibTeX</a></li> <li><a class="triangle" href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024.ris">EndNote</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="share" class="oneColumnShareMobileBox widget dark-border hide-on-desktop"> <div class="legend journal-contentLinkColor">Share</div> <div class="content row m-0 py-1"> <div class="col-auto pl-0"> <a class="share-one-line" href="https://www.mendeley.com/import/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbg.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F21%2F5005%2F2024%2F" title="Mendeley" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.biogeosciences.net/mendeley.png" alt="Mendeley"/> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto"> <a class="share-one-line" href="https://www.reddit.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbg.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F21%2F5005%2F2024%2F" title="Reddit" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.biogeosciences.net/reddit.png" alt="Reddit"> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto"> <a class="share-one-line last" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=How+to+measure+the+efficiency+of+bioenergy+crops++compared+to+forestation https%3A%2F%2Fbg.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F21%2F5005%2F2024%2F" title="Twitter" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.biogeosciences.net/twitter.png" alt="Twitter"/> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto"> <a class="share-one-line" href="https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbg.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F21%2F5005%2F2024%2F&t=How+to+measure+the+efficiency+of+bioenergy+crops++compared+to+forestation" title="Facebook" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.biogeosciences.net/facebook.png" alt="Facebook"/> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto pr-0"> <a class="share-one-line last" href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbg.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F21%2F5005%2F2024%2F&title=How+to+measure+the+efficiency+of+bioenergy+crops++compared+to+forestation" title="LinkedIn" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.biogeosciences.net/linkedin.png" alt="LinkedIn"> </a> </div> <div class="col pr-0 mobile-native-share"> <a href="#" data-title="Biogeosciences" data-text="*How to measure the efficiency of bioenergy crops compared to forestation* Sabine Egerer et al." data-url="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/" class="mobile-native-share share-one-line last"><i class="co-mobile-share display-none"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="citation-footer" class="sec"> <div class="h1-special journal-contentHeaderColor">How to cite. </div> <div class="citation-footer-content show-no-js"> <p> <div class="citation-footer"> Egerer, S., Falk, S., Mayer, D., Nützel, T., Obermeier, W.

Thus, not all methods are suitable everywhere globally, and their carbon sequestration potential will evolve differently. Where risks and side effects are not precluding one method or the other, an important question is which method removes CO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span> more efficiently from the atmosphere while optimizing the allocation of financial, land, and other resources. This question is surprisingly hard to answer. The carbon sequestration per square meter of forests and bioenergy crops is highly location-specific since it depends on environmental, climate, and soil conditions and will change in the future (e.g., <span class="cit" id="xref_altparen.17"><a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx88" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Sharma et al.</a>, <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx88" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2023</a></span>). Thus, locations of tCDR deployment have to be chosen carefully.

Instead, fertilization is simulated by returning the harvested nitrogen of HBPs to the soil over the year, similar to the default treatment for the harvested nitrogen of crops in JSBACH3.2 <span class="cit" id="xref_paren.48">(<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx78" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Reick et al.</a>, <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx78" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2013</a>)</span>.

land-use and climate scenario, which includes carbon sequestration in vegetation, litter, soil, and the proportion of harvested HBP yield used for FFS and CCS. We further evaluate the different measures of efficiency described in Sect. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.S2.SS5" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2.5</a>, i.e., the level of FFS, the temporal dynamics, and the area of cultivation comparing AR and HBPs. We differentiate between HBPs with CCS (equivalent to BECCS) and without CCS.</p><div class="sec"><h2 id="Ch1.S3.SS1"><span class="label">3.1</span> Efficiency of AR and HBPs</h2> <p id="d2e2308">The amount of CDR realized by HBPs and AR in the same areas in 2100 differs substantially. The key factors determining differences between both are assumptions on levels of CCS and FFS for BECCS (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F5" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">5</a>a). For 50 % FFS and SSP1-2.6 CCS rates (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F4" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">4</a>), the carbon potential of HBPs outpaces the one of AR after 2071 and is about twice as high towards the end of the century. HBPs become even more efficient in storing carbon than AR in the 100 % FFS and 100 % CCS case (a factor of 3). In contrast, if theoretically no FFS and no CCS are assumed for HBPs – i.e., all bioenergy is used in addition to fossil-fuel-based energy – AR is more efficient towards the end of the 21st century, storing about twice as much carbon as HBPs. Depending on FFS and CCS levels, HBPs sequester 24–158 GtC by 2100, whereas AR methods sequester around 53 GtC. The accumulated harvested HBP yield by 2100 is 67 GtC, reaching levels of about 2.5 GtC harvested per year towards the end of the century (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F5" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">5</a>b). The amount of CCS accumulates to 34 GtC by 2100 assuming SSP1-2.6 CCS rates. The difference in tCDR potential only becomes substantial after around 2070, when the land conversion to tCDR increases rapidly in the SSP1-2.6 land-use scenario (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F1" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">1</a>). The cumulative global wood harvest of forests without AR estimated by the LUH2 data (<span class="inline-formula">wh<sub>LUH2</sub>(2100)</span>) between 2015 and 2100 is 91.6 GtC. Since this is similar in both simulations, it does not impact our results. Our estimate based on Sect. 2.3 reveals an additional cumulative wood harvest of AR <span class="inline-formula">wh<sub>AR</sub></span> of 1.29 GtC between 2015 and 2100. We argue that wood harvesting has a relatively small effect on the carbon cycle compared to the cumulative amount of 53 GtC sequestered by AR (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F5" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">5</a>). Hence, we do not further consider it in our global estimates.</p> <div class="fig" id="Ch1.F5"><a target="_blank" class="figure-link" href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f05-web.png"><img alt="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f05" data-webversion="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f05-web.png" src="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f05-thumb.png" data-printversion="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f05-high-res.pdf" data-width="2067" data-height="2180"></a><div class="caption"><p id="d2e2355"><strong class="caption-number">Figure 5</strong><strong>(a)</strong> tCDR potential of AR and HBPs assuming 50 % FFS and SSP1-2.6 CCS rates from 2015 to 2100 (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F4" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">4</a>).

The CDR potential of HBPs is almost everywhere higher compared to AR, especially in South American grasslands and southeast Africa. The only exception is southeast China, where even for 50 % FFS and with CCS, AR stores slightly more carbon. Without FFS and CCS for HBPs (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F6" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">6</a>b), the potential of AR is higher everywhere, especially in southeast China and the eastern USA. The difference in carbon stored stems mainly from the vegetation pool with its high carbon storage in trees in the AR scenario (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#App1.Ch1.S1.F11" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">A2</a>a).

The lower the level of FFS needed for HBPs to reach a similar efficiency as AR, the more potential the cultivation of HBPs to remove carbon in a region has. We find that, as previously noted, even for 100 % FFS but without CCS, HBPs do not reach the CDR levels of AR in southeast China until 2100, which is one of the hotspots of tCDR deployment in SSP1.2-6 (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F1" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">1</a>). The higher CDR efficiency of AR in southeast China is partially due to the late onset of tCDR in this area (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F8" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">8</a>). However, compared to areas with a similarly late onset (e.g., the Sahel), there is a much higher level of FFS needed for HBPs, and climate and soil conditions are more favorable for AR. For example, forests benefit more strongly from the precipitation increase in southeast China towards the end of the century (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#App1.Ch1.S1.F10" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">A1</a>), whereas dryer conditions in the Sahel are likely more favorable for HBPs. In some areas of Eurasia, the east coast of the USA, and South America, the level of FFS without CCS needed for HBPs to exceed the efficiency of AR in 2100 is very high (<span class="inline-formula">></span> 80 %) (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F7" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">7</a>a). The FFS level needed for HBPs to exceed the efficiency in AR is at a medium level, between 50 % and 80 %, in Europe, the Congo basin, South American grasslands, and the eastern USA. For areas with a late tCDR onset (eastern USA, Europe), climate and soil conditions are most likely more favorable for HBPs. For sub-Saharan Africa, the Australian coast, and Argentina the FFS level needed is the lowest (<span class="inline-formula"><</span> 50 %). Despite the late onset of tCDR, the FFS level in the Sahel is low, showing that dryer climate and soil conditions are more favorable for HBPs compared to forests. With SSP1-2.6 CCS rates, HBPs become more efficient in 2100 than AR even without additional FFS (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F7" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">7</a>b). Even in regions where AR is more efficient without CCS and with a late onset of tCDR, such as Eurasia, the east coast of the USA, and southeast China, HBPs become more efficient with CCS and around 50 % FFS.</p> <div class="fig" id="Ch1.F7"><a target="_blank" class="figure-link" href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f07-web.png"><img alt="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f07" data-webversion="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f07-web.png" src="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f07-thumb.png" data-width="2067" data-height="1995"></a><div class="caption"><p id="d2e2450"><strong class="caption-number">Figure 7</strong>Level of FFS [%] needed for HBPs to exceed the efficiency of AR in 2100 <strong>(a)</strong> without carbon capture and storage (CCS) and <strong>(b)</strong> for SSP1-2.6 CCS rates.

In contrast, forests can sequester more carbon in the vegetation and litter over long periods (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#App1.Ch1.S1.F11" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">A2</a>). If the harvested carbon from HBPs is used for FFS or stored (CCS), HBPs might become more efficient in removing carbon from the atmosphere over time because they regrow quickly and are harvested annually. Additionally, forests tend to absorb less carbon with increasing age <span class="cit" id="xref_paren.92">(<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx76" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Pugh et al.</a>, <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx76" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2019</a>)</span>, compensating/fostering effects of rising/falling CO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span> levels, which enhance/reduce net ecosystem productivity even in old-growth forests <span class="cit" id="xref_paren.93">(<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx59" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Luyssaert et al.</a>, <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx59" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2008</a>, <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx60" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2021</a>)</span>. However, forest age is not represented explicitly in JSBACH3.2. Instead, the impact of forest age on plant productivity is only implicitly represented through structural limits. Assuming 50 % FFS and SSP1-2.6 CCS rates, HBPs become on average more efficient around 2070 (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F5" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">5</a>).</p> <p id="d2e2495">We evaluate the time between the onset of tCDR and the year in which the carbon harvested and stored through HBPs will exceed that of forests spatially if 50 % FFS of HBPs is assumed. The year of tCDR onset is defined as the year when the respective tCDR method covers more than 0.1 % of the grid cell. We find that in southeast China and some areas of the eastern USA and Eurasia, HBPs do not reach the potential of AR without CCS until 2100 (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F8" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">8</a>a). Note that in these areas the tCDR onset happens late in the century, between 2060 and 2070 (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F8" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">8</a>c). Especially in eastern Europe, HBPs become already more efficient than AR shortly after their plantation, whereas in the South American grasslands HBPs need between 20 and 50 years to become more efficient despite in both regions the planting starting in the first half of the 21st century. With CCS (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F8" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">8</a>b), the period for HBPs to become more efficient is shorter. Even in those regions with lower efficiency without CCS (eastern USA, Eurasia, southeast China) and where the tCDR onset is late, HBPs become more efficient with CCS within this century.</p> <p id="d2e2504">In this specific SSP1-2.6 land-use and climate scenario, the time until HBPs become more efficient than AR depends very much on the regional climate and soil conditions. For example, although the tCDR onsets in southeast China and the Sahel appear after 2060, the time until HBPs become more efficient is much shorter in the Sahel compared to southeast China due to a drying trend in the former and a wetting trend in the later region (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#App1.Ch1.S1.F10" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">A1</a>). The additional implementation of CCS will shorten this time or even enable HBPs to become more efficient within the century. The potential of AR to store additional carbon in aboveground biomass decreases over time, whereas the cumulative harvest of HBPs increases steadily. Thus, HBPs have an advantage over time in most regions, especially with CCS in addition to FFS.</p> <p id="d2e2509">In Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#App1.Ch1.S1.F12" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">A3</a>, we show the relative tCDR potential from HBPs compared to AR globally as a function of different levels of FFS for various years. We find that, without CCS, HBPs only become more efficient than AR at a level of FFS above 50 % and never before 2060. With CCS, HBPs become more efficient at any level of FFS by 2100 but also in this case never before 2060. This confirms our finding that HBPs only exceed the efficiency of AR over long periods, independently of the level of FFS and assuming plausible CCS.</p> <div class="fig" id="Ch1.F8"><a target="_blank" class="figure-link" href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f08-web.png"><img alt="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f08" data-webversion="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f08-web.png" src="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f08-thumb.png" data-width="2067" data-height="2962"></a><div class="caption"><p id="d2e2517"><strong class="caption-number">Figure 8</strong>Years after the onset of the CDR method when HBPs become more efficient than AR per grid cell assuming 50 % FFS <strong>(a)</strong> without CCS and <strong>(b)</strong> with CCS.

Thus, decision-makers need to know how much area is necessary to fulfill a specific carbon sequestration target. We find that more than 4000 km<span class="inline-formula"><sup>2</sup></span> per grid cell of bioenergy plantations is necessary in southeast China when no CCS is assumed (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F9" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">9</a>a), as compared to AR in our SSP1-2.6 scenario.

Without FFS and CCS, HBPs sequester less carbon than AR globally by 2100. In the case of 50 % FFS and SSP1-2.6 CCS rates (Fig. <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#Ch1.F4" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">4</a>), the efficiency of HBPs is higher in most regions compared to AR by the end of the century. There are substantial regional differences in CDR potential in the SSP1-2.6 scenario. In southeast China, the east coast of the USA, and parts of Eurasia, AR is more efficient than cultivating HBPs. In these regions, HBPs reach the efficiency of AR later, at a higher FFS level, or if more area is available. However, the onset of tCDR in these regions happens mostly after 2050 in the SSP1-2.6 scenario, and thus, they have less time to become established. In contrast, in the South American grasslands and southeast Africa, where the onset of tCDR happens before 2050, HBPs have an advantage over AR in that the efficiency is reached earlier and at lower levels of FFS or less area is needed. In other regions, such as the eastern USA, Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, and Central America, it depends mainly on the level of CCS and FFS at which the measure of tCDR is more efficient.

However, our estimates of tCDR potentials are plausible in comparison to other studies and thus allow us to use them to illustrate the value of applying various measures of efficiency to compare CDR methods to each other.</p> <span class="tableCitations"><span class="cit" id="xref_text.104"><a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx15" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Cheng et al.</a> (<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx15" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2024</a>)</span><span class="cit" id="xref_text.105"><a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx36" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Harper et al.</a> (<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx36" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2018</a>)</span><span class="cit" id="xref_text.106"><a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx48" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Krause et al.</a> (<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx48" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2018</a>)</span><span class="cit" id="xref_text.107"><a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx68" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Melnikova et al.</a> (<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx68" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2023</a>)</span><span class="cit" id="xref_text.108"><a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx64" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Mayer</a> (<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx64" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2017</a>)</span><span class="cit" id="xref_text.109"><a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx101" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Wang et al.</a> (<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx101" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2023</a>)</span><span class="cit" id="xref_text.110"><a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx101" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Wang et al.</a> (<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx101" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2023</a>)</span><span class="cit" id="xref_text.111"><a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx15" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Cheng et al.</a> (<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx15" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2024</a>)</span><span class="cit" id="xref_text.112"><a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx48" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Krause et al.</a> (<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx48" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2018</a>)</span><span class="cit" id="xref_text.113"><a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx64" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Mayer</a> (<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx64" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2017</a>)</span><span class="cit" id="xref_text.114"><a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx68" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Melnikova et al.</a> (<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx68" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2023</a>)</span><span class="cit" id="xref_text.115"><a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx93" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Sonntag et al.</a> (<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx93" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2016</a>)</span></span><div class="table-wrap" id="Ch1.T2"><div class="caption"><p id="d2e2730"><strong class="caption-number">Table 2</strong>Comparison of tCDR efficiency with previous global model studies.

Even when assuming AR is used for wood harvest in the same intensity as the other, typically older forest in the grid cell, additional global wood harvest from our AR scenario yields a relatively small amount of cumulative sequestered carbon of 1.3 GtC between 2015 and 2100, which does not substantially alter our results (Sect. 2.3). Further, the benefits of storing carbon in woody long-lived products or using wood for bioenergy might be outweighed by decreased carbon sequestration in the forest after harvest and before the re-establishment of the new trees and the increased CO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span> emissions to the atmosphere if used for bioenergy <span class="cit" id="xref_paren.150">(<a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx74" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Obermeier et al.</a>, <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx74" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2021</a>; <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx92" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">Soimakallio et al.</a>, <a href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/#bib1.bibx92" class="scrollto" data-fixed-element=".auto-fixed-top-forced.article-title">2021</a>)</span>.

While we<span id="page5019"></span> focus on BECCS and AR in this study, the measures of efficiency are applicable to other, area-based tCDR methods, including soil carbon sequestration, agroforestry, and biochar. Depending on the research question or the climate mitigation target set, different measures for the efficiency of tCDR are meaningful: for reaching our near-term climate goals, the time horizon is key, while for biodiversity and spatial planning, the additional area measure is meaningful and the level of FFS and CCS is a question of technical feasibility.</p><p id="d2e3649">In our study, the benefit of BECCS to remove carbon only becomes substantial after around 2070, when the areas converted to either AR or HBPs increase rapidly in the SSP1-2.6 land-use scenario. Thus, BECCS has a higher carbon removal potential over longer periods than AR, especially in the South American grasslands and southeast Africa, but will not contribute substantially to reaching short-term climate mitigation targets. However, the temporal dynamics of tCDR methods are scenario-specific. An idealized setup where all tCDR is applied simultaneously and everywhere would help when comparing the CDR efficiency across time and space more precisely. Further, the efficiency of BECCS as compared to “nature-based solutions” like AR will depend critically on the upscaling of CCS facilities; replacing fossil fuels with bioenergy in the future; and the planting of bioenergy crops in suitable locations that do not harm biodiversity, affect water retention, or risk food security. We show, for the first time, how these different measures can be considered simultaneously within a consistent setup as a base for a sensible balancing of land-use interests concerning climate mitigation, food production, and nature conservation.</p></div><span class="section5-mobile-bottom-border mobile-bottom-border hide-on-desktop hide-on-tablet"></span></div> <div class="app sec" id="section6"> <div class="grid-container no-margin header-element"><span class="grid-100 mobile-grid-100 tablet-grid-100 grid-parent more-less-mobile" data-hide="#section6 .co-arrow-open,.section6-content" data-show="#section6 .co-arrow-closed,.section6-mobile-bottom-border"><div id="App1.Ch1.S1" class="h1"><span class="section-number"></span>Appendix A<span class="hide-on-desktop hide-on-tablet triangleWrapper"> <i class="co-arrow-closed"></i><i class="co-arrow-open" style="display:none"></i></span></div></span></div> <div class="section6-content show-no-js hide-on-mobile-soft"><div class="fig" id="App1.Ch1.S1.F10"><a target="_blank" class="figure-link" href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f10-web.png"><img alt="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f10" data-webversion="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f10-web.png" src="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f10-thumb.png" data-width="2067" data-height="2050"></a><div class="caption"><p id="d2e3664"><strong class="caption-number">Figure A1</strong>Spatial changes between 2005–2024 and 2080–2099 mean temperature and precipitation of bias-corrected downscaled climate forcing of MPI-ESM1.2-HR for SSP1-2.6 mapped to T63 resolution.</p></div><p class="downloads"></p></div><div class="fig" id="App1.Ch1.S1.F11"><a target="_blank" class="figure-link" href="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f11-web.png"><img alt="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f11" data-webversion="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f11-web.png" src="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/bg-21-5005-2024-f11-thumb.png" data-width="2067" data-height="2592"></a><div class="caption"><p id="d2e3675"><strong class="caption-number">Figure A2</strong>Difference in vegetation <strong>(a)</strong>, soil <strong>(b)</strong>, and litter <strong>(c)</strong> carbon [kg m<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−2</sup></span> tCDR] between HBPs and AR in 2100.

of the Paris agreements. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to introduce negative emission technologies as soon as possible. Among these technologies, CDRs, and more particularly CDRs applied to land surfaces, seem to be good candidates. However, until now, the methodologies used to estimate the efficiency of CDRs have taken very little account of certain parameters such as the turnover time of biomass products. This article proposes an innovative methodology for this purpose and applies it to estimate the storage potential of various CDRs. Results suggest, for example, that afforestation/reforestation (AR) appears to be more effective in China, while bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is more effective in South America and Africa. Nevertheless, the authors also highlight the importance of considering the evolution of the efficiency of fossil fuel substitution (FFS) techniques in parallel to refine the estimate of the potential of CDRs, thus stressing the complexity of such a task.</div> <div style="display: none" class="content show-js shortSummaryShortenOnHighlihgt">The use of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) techniques is essential to achieving the objectives of...</div> <div class="content"> <a href="#" class="more-less show-js triangle" data-hide=".shortSummaryFullOnHighlihgt" data-show=".shortSummaryShortenOnHighlihgt" data-toggleCaption='Hide'>Read more</a> </div> </div> <div class="widget dark-border"> <div class="legend journal-contentLinkColor">Short summary</div> <div class="content hide-js shortSummaryFull">Using a state-of-the-art land model, we find that bioenergy plants can store carbon more efficiently than forests over long periods in the soil, in geological reservoirs, or by substituting fossil-fuel-based energy. Planting forests is more suitable for reaching climate targets by 2050. The carbon removal potential depends also on local environmental conditions. These considerations have important implications for climate policy, spatial planning, nature conservation, and agriculture.</div> <div style="display: none" class="content show-js shortSummaryShorten">Using a state-of-the-art land model, we find that bioenergy plants can store carbon more...</div> <div class="content"> <a href="#" class="more-less show-js triangle" data-hide=".shortSummaryFull" data-show=".shortSummaryShorten" data-toggleCaption='Hide'>Read more</a> </div> </div> <div class="widget dark-border hide-on-mobile hide-on-tablet p-0" id="share"> <div class="legend journal-contentLinkColor">Share</div> <div class="row p-0"> <div class="col-auto pl-0"> <a class="share-one-line" href="https://www.mendeley.com/import/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbg.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F21%2F5005%2F2024%2F" title="Mendeley" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.biogeosciences.net/mendeley.png" alt="Mendeley"/> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto"> <a class="share-one-line" href="https://www.reddit.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbg.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F21%2F5005%2F2024%2F" title="Reddit" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.biogeosciences.net/reddit.png" alt="Reddit"> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto"> <a class="share-one-line last" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=How+to+measure+the+efficiency+of+bioenergy+crops++compared+to+forestation https%3A%2F%2Fbg.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F21%2F5005%2F2024%2F" title="Twitter" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.biogeosciences.net/twitter.png" alt="Twitter"/> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto"> <a class="share-one-line" href="https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbg.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F21%2F5005%2F2024%2F&t=How+to+measure+the+efficiency+of+bioenergy+crops++compared+to+forestation" title="Facebook" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.biogeosciences.net/facebook.png" alt="Facebook"/> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto pr-0"> <a class="share-one-line last" href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbg.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F21%2F5005%2F2024%2F&title=How+to+measure+the+efficiency+of+bioenergy+crops++compared+to+forestation" title="LinkedIn" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.biogeosciences.net/linkedin.png" alt="LinkedIn"> </a> </div> <div class="col pr-0 mobile-native-share"> <a href="#" data-title="Biogeosciences" data-text="*How to measure the efficiency of bioenergy crops compared to forestation* Sabine Egerer et al." data-url="https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/5005/2024/" class="mobile-native-share share-one-line last"><i class="co-mobile-share display-none"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="widget dark-border"> <div class="legend journal-contentLinkColor">Altmetrics</div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="content text-center"> Final-revised paper </div> <div class="content text-center"> <div class="altmetric-embed" data-link-target="_blank" data-hide-less-than="1" data-no-score data-badge-type="medium-donut" data-doi="10.5194/bg-21-5005-2024"></div> </div> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="content text-center"> Preprint </div> <div class="content text-center"> <div class="altmetric-embed" data-link-target="_blank" data-hide-less-than="1" data-no-score data-badge-type="medium-donut" data-doi="10.5194/egusphere-2024-1451"></div> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> !function (e, t, n) { var d = "createElement", c = "getElementsByTagName", m = "setAttribute", n = document.getElementById(e);
