And we argued over and over that the carbon consequences of bioenergy were far from «climate friendly» or «carbon neutral,» a myth that has been perpetuated by industry proponents and even parroted by many naive environmentalists.

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).

Even by keeping the door open for fossil CCS projects (if not mandating the technology outright), the EPA has provided an opportunity for utilities and project developers to build fossil energy with CCS projects, and hopefully pave the way for carbon removal CCS techniques such as bioenergy with CCS and direct air capture and storage in the future.
