Inefficient power generation as an optimal route to negative emissions via BECCS?

Current ambitions to limit climate change to no more than 1.5 °C–2 °C by the end of the 21st century rely heavily on the availability of negative emissions technologies (NETs)—bioenergy with CO _2 capture and storage (BECCS) and direct air capture in particular. In this context, these NETs are provi...
