    Shuffled Sentences:
    A. If Europe fails to scale up production, it may face severe economic and geopolitical risks, due to increased dependence on external suppliers, weakened industrial competitive ness and potential for delayed decarbonization.
    B. However, the EU's goal to cover 90% of its battery demand from domestic production by 2030 is at risk, as projected demand will likely exceed 1.0 TWh per year and outpace production capacity despite highly ambitious growth rates.
    C. The rapid diffusion of battery electric vehicles — in addition to the decarbonization of the energy sector — requires an increasing number of batteries.

    Shuffled Sentences:
    A. Although Europe can be expected to meet at least 50-60% of its demand through domestic production by 2030, achieving the EU's 90% self-sufficiency target is feasible but uncertain, as nearly half of our modelled sce narios fail to meet this target (Fig. 1).
    B. If Europe wants more independ ence from battery cell imports, our findings highlight the urgency of accelerating production capacity expansion, scaling up a bat tery supply chain, and implementing strong industrial policies to support competitiveness and supply sovereignty.
    C. We find that European battery cell demand will likely surpass 1.0 TWh per year by 2030, whereas domestic production capacity is expected to fall short, creating a risk of supply constraints.

    A. Compared with CDR scaling in Paris Agreement-consistent scenarios, we found that these national CDR proposals tend to fall short by hundreds of megatonnes of car bon dioxide in 2030 to several gigatonnes of carbon dioxide in 2050, highlighting a 'CDR gap'.
    B. However, we find that the most ambitious proposals do come close to levels in a low-energy-demand scenario where CDR requirements are minimized, suggesting that if countries pledge more ambitious emissions reductions consistent with these scenarios, the CDR gap will be closed.
    C. In our study we found that compared with 2020, the most ambitious national proposals for CDR imply an additional 0.5 GtCO2 yr-1 of remov als by 2030, and 1.9 GtCO2 yr-1 by 2050.

    A. If policymakers tax bioenergy according to these average expected emissions, that is, apply a similar carbon price to a litre of biofuels as to a litre of diesel, the total future bioenergy-induced emissions decrease, as the demand is reduced.
    B. However, we show that such a policy cannot bring down the high average emissions that are attributed to biofuels.
    C. With an average emission factor (EF) of 92 kgCO2 GJ-1, we find that the production of modern biofuels, if averaged over a 30-year period, causes land-use-change emissions that are higher than those from burn ing fossil diesel (Fig. 1).

    A. We find that ratcheting near-term ambition to 2030 will be crucial to limiting peak temperature changes this century (Fig. 1).
    B. If ratcheting is delayed, it would result in higher temperature overshooting — that is, an exceedance of global mean temperature change above the intended threshold before returning to below the intended level — over many decades, with the potential for adverse and irreversible consequences for human and natural systems.
    C. Our results also suggest that ratchet ing near-term ambition could facilitate faster transitions to net-zero emissions systems — especially in major economies — resulting in faster reductions in emissions from all sectors of the economy for both CO2 and non-CO2 emissions.
