Carbon Neutrality and Bioenergy: A Zero-Sum Game?
Sedjo, Roger A. - 2011
Biomass, a renewable energy source, has been viewed as “carbon neutral”—that is, its use as energy is presumed not to release net carbon dioxide. However, this assumption of carbon neutrality has recently been challenged. In 2010 two letters were sent to the Congress by eminent scientists...
