The author modelled the life cycle emissions, geospatial potential, technoeconomic feasibility of a new negative emissions technology based on slurry fracture injection, a technique which has been used for decades in the oil and gas industry to dispose of wastes. In the proposed system, called biomass slurry fracture injection (BSFI), biogeneic wastes are injected into fractures created in permeable saline formations.
