This Thesis analyzes the contributions from woody biomass with CCS (BECCS) in mitigating GHG emissions. I used the IAM WITCH tool. In Chapters 2-3 I use biomass supply curves from GLOBIOM. In Chapters 4-5 I instead link WITCH to GTM. The policy scenarios consist of three carbon taxes. Results show that as the carbon tax increases the demand of BECCS will reach 66-90 EJ/yr in 2100. The introduction of international trade of biomass in WITCH makes it possible to increase the emissions abatement by 120-323 GtCO2 and reduce cumulative policy costs by 14% over the century. Linking WITCH to GTM, I show that bio-energy demand will have implications for land use. The demand will reach 8-15 billion m3/yr while the price of wood will increase 4-9 times relative to the BAU by 2100. This increase would shrink the demand for industrial wood from 80-90%. Forest area will expand by 70-95% relative to the BAU and increase the global stock of forest carbon by 685-1,279 GtCO2 by 2100. |

Questa tesi analizza il contributo della biomassa da legno con CCS (BECCS) nel mitigare le emissioni di gas serra. Lo strumento utilizzato e' l'IAM WITCH. Nei capitoli 2-3 ho usato le curve di biomassa da GLOBIOM. Mentre nei capitoli 4-5 ho collegato WITCH a GTM. Gli scenari di policy sono tre carbon tax. I risultati mostrano che, al crescere della carbon tax aumenta la domanda di BECCS (66-90 EJ/anno nel 2100). Includendo il trade internazionale della biomassa e' possibile aumentare l'abbattimento delle emissioni di 120-323 GtCO2 e ridurre i costi cumulativi della policy del 14% entro il 2100. Collegando WITCH a GTM, si mostra che la domanda di bioenergia avra' grandi e etti sull'uso della terra. La domanda raggiungera' 8-15 mld m3/anno, mentre il prezzo del legno aumenter 4-9 volte rispetto alla BAU nel 2100. Tale incremento ridurra' la domanda di legno industriale dell80-90%. Le foreste si espanderanno del 70-95% rispetto al BAU e lo stock di CO2 accumulato aumentera' del 685-1279 GtCO2 entro il
2100. |
