The role of Direct Air Capture and Carbon Dioxide Removal in Well below 2°C scenarios in ETSAP-TIAM
James Glynn1, Niall Mac Dowell2, Giulia Realmonte3, Brian Ó Gallachóir1
• Does Direct Air Capture have a role to play in achieving the 1.5°C temperature target? • We explore overshoot and return to a 1.5C temperature increase by 2100,
• or an upper 1.5C temperature increase threshold limit for all century.
• We explore the uncertainties and hard constraints between carbon budget limits and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) potential from BECCS and DAC. (heat potentials & bioenergy potentials)
• What is the change in Primary Energy Demand and Mix from 2°C to 1.5°C with and without DAC?
• Can DAC & CDR reduce energy system cost increases when moving from Baseline 2°C to 1.5°C?
First, what is CDR? & What is DAC?
• CDR stands for Carbon Dioxide Removal – by technological or biological means• Carbon Capture, and Storage (CCS) – EOR at Statoil Sleipner field since 1996, Petra Nova Coal-CCS (EOR)
• Negative Emissions Technologies (NETS)• BIOENERGY with CCS (BECCS) – ADM BECCS (bioethanol) plant Illinois, USA
• Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Sequestration (DACCS) (CLIMEWORKS – Iceland geothermal Pilot plant)
• Direct Air Capture (DAC) and synthetic liquid fuels. (Carbon Engineering – USA pilot plant (Keith et al. (2018))

BASE Scenario
• Base –calibrated to SSP2 drivers from the OECD ENV-LINKS.• Population, GDP, sectoral GVA, Households
• No Climate control policies
• Fossil fuel dominates Primary energy, with a growing share of renewables in Elec Generation
• DAC is deployed when Low Cost DAC is available at <$250/tCO2
• Medium-term (2040-50) CO2 capture of 200-300 MtCO2/yr for 1.5C threshold
• Long Term Capture up to 1.6GtCO2/yr with up to 12 EJ in energy input

No 1.5C temperature Overshoot allowed
2C and 1.5C emissions with & without DAC
• Rapid near term CO2 emissions reductions required to remain below a 1.5C threshold.• Near term deployment of CDR in the form of DAC and BECC forces abatement costs above
$200/tCO2 by 2030
• Overshoot and return to 1.5C follows an accelerated mitigation pathway when compared to 2C.

Difference in cumulative CDR
• Low Cost DAC cumulative Capture of CO2 ranges from 11 GtCO2 in the 2C case,
• 17GtCO2 for the 1.5C threshold case
• 25GtCO2 in the overshoot and return to 1.5C case.
• The 1.5C threshold scenario with Low Cost DAC captures and additional 49GtCO2 compared to the without DAC scenario
• The 1.5C threshold scenario with DAC has 168GtCO2 less CDR than the 2C case.
• Coal consumption in electricity is replaced is phased out more rapidly in this case.

Difference in Total CDR Difference in Direct Air Capture
Key Messages
• Staying below a 1.5°C ceiling seems unlikely with current demand outlook understanding and technology specifications, even with optimistic CDR costs in the form of Direct Air Capture.• Negative Emissions technologies and CDR seem to be required to stay well below
2C.
• While DAC may have a near term CDR role to play, BECCS which also provides energy service requirements (biofuel & electricity), captures and removes more CO2 in our scenario analysis.• However, it is likely that there are heat & electricity constraints on DAC deployment in TIAM.
• Future Work with MaREI-UCC, Centre for environmental Policy and Grantham at Imperial College London
• The costs of achieving ambitious decarbonisation scenarios are highly sensitive to the volume of CO2 removal & Storage• Carbon Capture and Storage, and other negative emissions technologies require
accelerated development as well as likely demand side measures.
• Some regions may have significantly reduced abatement costs due to their ability to sequester CO2 in conjunction with considerable renewables potentials and large geological storage for BECCs & CDR.
ETSAP-TIAM waste HET sources for DAC?
• Detailed Bottom Up energy System Model
• From Energy Reserves, extraction, transformation, trade, renewable energy potentials, electricity generation, conversion to end use fuels, multiple energy service demands per sector.
• Integrated Climate Module
• Integrated Macroeconomic model for price demand general equilibrium.
