Step 4 — Land, Biomass & Natural Capital
Set deforestation policy and biofuel competition intensity. This constrains the available sustainable biomass for BECCS — one of the key CDR technologies in the gap accounting.
Deforestation Policy
Biofuel Competition
—
BECCS Biomass Ceiling (EJ/yr)
—
LULUCF Abatement (GtCO₂/yr)
—
Food Price Impact (2050 vs 2025)
—
Forest Cover Change (Mha)
Feeds into Step 4: BECCS ceiling constrains the CDR abatement potential in the
gap accounting. Weak deforestation policy also adds LULUCF emissions to the baseline.
