They also support carbon capture and storage, though add little new in that area.

If bioenergy is not carbon neutral, then it simply can not be rendered carbon negative by adding CCS, even if captured carbon were securely stored away (which we will see below, is unlikely).

Capturing the nearly pure stream of CO2 emitted from corn ethanol refinery fermentation processes is cheaper however, and footing the bill for the added costs associated with carbon capture can be further offset by taking advantage of the market for CO2 availed by EOR.

The carbon dioxide capture facility is configured to transfer carbon dioxide from a gas to the portion of the growth medium to yield an enriched growth medium, such that the concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide in the enriched growth medium exceeds the concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide in the growth medium, where dissolved carbon dioxide includes ions formed by the reaction of carbon dioxide with a species in solution, including such ions formed in the growth medium and added to the growth medium.
