Around 31 gigatonnes of global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions enter the atmosphere annually. According to a global energy consultancy , by 2050 a possible ten gigatonnes of carbon dioxide per year could be taken out of the atmosphere and stored underground, cutting current annual carbon emissions from the energy sector by a third. A study commissioned by the International Energy Agency’s Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme will see whether there is potential to combine biomass with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to reduce negative emissions while producing energy while at the same time removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Monday, November 30th, 2009Following a recent meeting in London, the UK Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Milliband said: ‘Today some of the world’s biggest coal consuming nations have shown business as usual on coal won’t do. There;s agreement that we need countries around the world to finance demonstrations, as we are doing in the UK. We need technology co-operation for know-how and capacity building and a financing agreement at Copenhagen which can drive CCS forwards in developing countries.’
