Electricity from biomass could make western US carbon-negative
Berkeley CA (SPX) Feb 10, 2015 - Generating electricity from biomass, such as urban waste and sustainably-sourced forest and crop residues, is one strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, because it is carbon-neutral: it produces as much carbon as the plants suck out of the atmosphere. A new UC Berkeley study shows that if biomass electricity production is combined with carbon capture and sequestration in the weste ... morehttp://www.biofueldaily.com/reports/Electricity_from_biomass_with_carbon_capture_could_make_western_US_carbon_negative_999.html
