Greater decarbonization at a lower cost is achievable by burying biomass (such as corn or sugarcane) rather than converting it into bio-ethanol. This model captures the economics. Detailed costs are…
…All animals comprise 0.5% of world biomass. But clearly the largest human impact, in biomass terms, is via deforestation and changing land use, which has released around 1 trn tons…
…pricing is variable, but it can be 2x more expensive than engineered timber products. We also see growing value in mass timber, related chemicals, wood in wind, and interesting companies with specialized wood products, equipment or engineered wood…
…c40-years, the rate of trees’ growth has approximately halved (data below) while the rate of biomass decomposition will cancel out new carbon uptake. We note our numbers here are on…
…wood uses, on a full life cycle CO2 basis, per our recent research here. Accsys Technologies is the parent company commercializing acetylated wood products such as Accoya and Tricoya. It…
…of wood. Wood use and total energy use both declined in the 16th Century, and coal first began ramping up as an alternative heating fuel (charts above). In 1560, Britain’s…
…units is given on page 13, converting wood fuels into kWh from wet tons, dry tons, and across different products, such as fresh wood, dry wood, deforestation wood, wood chips,…
This data-file captures the economics of producing biochar from waste biomass that would otherwise be likely to decompose. Other products are bio-oil and bio-gas, with the mix depending on reactor…
