can we really expect the forest products industry to divert a significant fraction of its harvest from sale to burial?

What is BECCS anyway?
Overall, the energy used in BECCS adds about 30% to the carbon emissions to the atmosphere from burning biomass directly.

Soil Carbon Sequestration
Suggestions that we can mitigate the impact of fossil fuel combustion by increasing carbon storage in soils are bogus.

Negative Emissions by Forests
Trees remove a lot of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Soil Carbon Sequestration
Recent press coverage of soil carbon sequestration on farms creates the dangerous impression that we can easily store a significant fraction of CO2 from fossil fuel emissions through better soil management.

Reconsidering Bioenergy
Policies devoted to bioenergy should be redirected toward efforts to protect terrestrial carbon stocks and recarbonize the biosphere.
Humus
If we are to store carbon in soils, better management of agricultural lands might be one avenue to pursue.
What’s New Down on the Farm
Agriculture activities are a significant contributor to human emissions of greenhouse gases. When new fields are opened for farming, cultivation often results in the loss of 40 to 60% of the organic matter from soils,Continue reading
