A lot of sweat (and nearly tears) has finally paid off ! 💡 Excited to release our new paper, "Demystifying Biomass CDR: A Roadmap for Sustainable Biomass Sourcing", after extensive research and interviews of renown experts in the field 🔍 Hopefully this will help to increase transparency on this (very) complex topic and kickstart interesting discussions with passionate people in the space
Biomass Carbon Removal: A Roadmap for Sustainable Biomass Sourcing As we work toward achieving net-zero emissions, biomass-based carbon dioxide removal (biomass-CDR) has become a cornerstone of climate strategy and is currently the leading CDR pathway. However, with increasing competition for biomass from the bioenergy and biomaterial industries, it is vital to determine which biomass types are best suited for CDR, how to avoid displacing them from higher-priority uses, and how to minimise potential environmental and social impacts. So, what safeguards should buyers consider when purchasing carbon removal credits from biomass-CDR projects? At CarbonX Climate, we advocate for a thorough assessment of the biomass's counterfactual scenario and potential market leakage. Achieving the right balance between carbon removal goals and sustainable land use is essential for maximising the potential of biomass in #CDR. Establishing strong baseline conditions is complex and highly context-dependent, varying by region and evolving over time, which requires ongoing reassessment in response to market changes.
