Oxidizing the biocarbon to mitigate CO2 release? I think I see a bit of a flaw in that strategy.

- gruez 6y agoI don't see why not? We flare natural gas at oil wells for this exact reason.
- ineedasername 6y agoNatural gas burns pretty clean by comparison, and if we're taking methane, it's far better to burn it and produce those relatively low C02 amounts than let the methane into the atmosphere as it holds roughly 80 times more heat than C02. C02 produced by biomass varies with moisture content, but is generally on the level of coal per unit of energy. Moister wood produces slightly more, dry seasoned wood slightly less than coal.
