At the 2024 DBFZ annual conference on " Multi-talented biomass: primary raw material, carbon source and energy option" (see press release), scientists, practitioners and policymakers discussed, among other topics, the potential of biomass to permanently remove CO₂ from the atmosphere.

In the session opening, Ronja Wollnik presented recent DBFZ activities on the topic from the different departments, including the project "Multi-level assessment of bio-based negative emission technologies" (BioNET) as a large scheme within the CDRterra research programme. She described the heterogeneity of the emerging research field and its overlap with research in the areas of biochar, biogas upgrading and methanation, policy analyses and system indicator development.
