A new study led by Colorado State University predicts significant climate benefits stemming from the use of advanced biofuel technologies. The climate benefits of cellulosic biofuels have been challenged based on carbon debt, opportunity costs, and indirect land use change, prompting calls for withdrawing support for research and development.

A promising class of technologies for carbon dioxide removal is known as bioenergy with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS), which involves the capture and permanent sequestration of biogenic CO 2 produced during energy conversion. The role for CO 2 removal envisioned in stringent climate change mitigation scenarios cannot be overstated.
