Scenario overview.

Scenario CC BECCS BECCS+SWM
Climate forcing RCP6.0 RCP2.6 RCP2.6
Biomass plantation area (2090–2099) 30 Mha 600 Mha 600 Mha
of which equipped for irrigation 30% 30% 45%
Sustainable water management No No Yes

Climate, land use, and water use input data for 4 GCMs (all based on SSP2) is used from the ISIMIP2b project33. The irrigation fraction is obtained from a sensitivity analysis as part of this study. Sustainable water management is a combination of withdrawal restrictions based on EFRs35, local water storage, and improved on-field irrigation efficiencies32,34.
