Cobo, S., Galán-Martín, Á., Tulus, V. et al. Human and planetary health implications of negative emissions technologies. Nat Commun

Objective:

• Quantify the human health impacts of direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS) and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BACCS) in terms of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs)

Case:

• Global countries

Methodology:

• Life-cycle modelling

Data Source

• Emission

Findings:

• DACCS and BACCS can preserve a substantial number of years of healthy life

• Negative emission technologies can also generate detrimental health impacts associated with pollutant emissions and water consumption

Coding Reference:

• Not applicable
