This dataset includes cumulative and yearly carbon dioxide removal (CDR) deployment in NEGEM-scenarios for Europe.

The results originate from Pan-European TIMES-VTT energy system model and are published in Markkanen et al. (2024), manuscript submitted to Environmental Research Letters, Focus issue on Carbon Dioxide Removals on 31/05/2024. 

Regional coverage: EU-31. Temporal coverage: until 2060. 

Cumulative values are reported for the period 2025-2050. Yearly values are reported for 2010, 2020, 2030, 2040, 2050 and 2060.

Negative emission technologies and practises (NETPs) included: bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), biochar, direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS), enhanced weathering (EW), forestry (A/R; afforestation and reforestation) and soil carbon sequestration (SCS). Additionally, sum of total CDR is reported, which is the sum of NETPs. For the yearly data, absolute CO2 emissions and net CO2 emissions are reported. 

Data covers six (6) NEGEM-scenarios, TEC, ENV and SEC, and their limited variants, which exclude the use of EW and SCS. Storylines and main assumptions for NEGEM-scenarios are reported in NEGEM Deliverable 8.2 Quantifying the NEGEM pathways and impact assessments with global TIMES-VTT and PET-VTT IAMs by Lehtilä et al. (2023).
