Mongabay: Forest advocates say zero-carbon goals too reliant on unrealistic tech
„To reduce their carbon footprints, some international energy companies are promoting bioenergy carbon capture and storage (BECCS). However, critics say BECCS techniques are land-intensive and that carbon capture is costly and largely unproven. They urge more attention be paid to phasing out fossil fuels instead of uncertain carbon capture technology. Industry reps say they are working such strategies into their own models regarding carbon-emission reductions and identifying land for forest growth and carbon storage.“
