I wrote "very low on carbon" precisely to not write "zero carbon", so I'm not so sure we really disagree here.
From the abstract:
> Results for the process-based, input-output, and hybrid methods range between 16.55–17.69, 18.82–35.15, and 24.61–32.74 gCO2e/kWh,
That's in the ballpark of what you can get from other sources [1]. And it's still:
* an order of magnitude lower than coal
* almost an order of magnitude lower than gas
* in the same order of magnitude as the other renewables (PV / Wind / hydro.)
