  • Many experts argue that to meet critical climate goals, global emissions must become net-negative-that is, we must remove more CO2 from the atmosphere than we release.

    “Instead, many experts argue that to meet critical climate goals, global emissions must become net-negative-that is, we must remove more CO 2 from the atmosphere than we release [259,269].”

  • NETs offer an option of countering present emissions with future investments.

    “NETs offer an option of countering our present emissions with future investments.10,11”
  • Bioenergy systems can contribute to large-scale carbon dioxide removal via bioenergy with carbon capture and storage or biochar coproduction.

    “In addition, bioenergy systems can contribute to large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) via carbon sequestration in the soils on which feedstock crops are cultivated (depending on former land use) ( 6 ) and via bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) ( 7 ) or biochar coproduction ( 8 ).”
  • This scale is smaller than that called for in some climate stabilization scenarios, and such wider bioenergy deployment could lead to larger indirect emissions consequences.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
