Cоnsider this diаgrаm аbоut cоnverting biomass to useful products: biomass to useful products.pdf (click link. Honorlock may not allow you to download.). In the diagram: All numbers are kilograms. Each scenario starts with 100 kg biomass. AC means activated carbon. Pyrolysis, Activation, Water-gas shift, and F-T are transformative processes/reactions. Biochar and activated carbon (AC) can be mixed with soil to permanently sequester carbon. Fuels release CO2 into the atmosphere when used. Which scenario has the greatest potential to permanently remove ("sequester") carbon from the atmosphere?
