Kreutz used what he called a bifurcated climate regime—i.e., In CCTF, the source of CO 2 determines the net carbon intensity of the fuel, Kreutz says. When that carbon is converted into a fuel, burned, and exhausted to the atmosphere, the overall cycle is roughly neutral. Note that the climate benefit is independent.
