We started from the emissions side – and quickly realized that emissions are not coming down fast enough. Therefore, large-scale, economic carbon removal would be essential , and turned to the question: What are the best, viable carbon capture technologies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was from this comprehensive carbon capture study that we ended up with boreal forests. In summary, they create a truly large-scale opportunity, with clear additionality and high cost efficiency – often below USD 10 per ton. Furthermore, in those numerous cases where the resulting cellulose, hemi-cellulose or timber fibers can be productively utilized, the cost of captured carbon is often even negative<\/strong>. In this biome wide framework of improved boreal silviculture, the largest opportunities are in Russia, followed by Canada and United States.<\/p>\n\n\n
