Ecofys study finds large global potential for negative CO2 emissions through biomass linked with carbon dioxide capture and storage

Green Car Congress

In the short term, bio-ethanol production is the most promising option as it allows CO 2 capture at relatively low cost. Negative CO 2 emissions associated with the realizable potential range between 0.3 gigatonnes CO 2 equivalent/year in 2030 and between 0.8 gigatonnes CO 2 equivalent/year in 2050.
