Irrigation of biomass plantations may globally increase water stress more than climate change
F. Stenzel, P. Greve, et al.
This research, conducted by Fabian Stenzel and colleagues, reveals that while bioenergy with carbon capture and storage can limit global warming to 1.5 °C, it might also double the global area and population facing severe water stress, outpacing the impact of climate change itself. Sustainable water management emerges as a critical solution in this complex dilemma.
