For example, to achieve a 450 ppm CO2eq concentration by 2100, supplies of low ‐ carbon energy — energy from nuclear power, solar power, wind power, hydroelectric power, bioenergy, and fossil resources with carbon dioxide capture and storage — might need to increase five ‐ fold or more over the next 40 years.

Some forms of carbon removal are also subject to significant debate, such as whether bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS)-- which involves burning biomass like crop wastes for energy and capturing and storing the carbon emissions underground in geological formations — can be truly sustainable at a large scale given competing needs for land, among other concerns.
