Land Use Risks

The conversation highlights the critical need for transparency and oversight in biomass-based carbon removal (CDR) as the industry aims to scale to gigatons. It emphasizes the importance of avoiding harmful land use practices, such as harvesting old growth forests, while also addressing the complexities posed by factors like wildfire risk in the Canadian boreal forest. As the demand for biomass CDR grows, careful consideration of land use impacts will be essential to ensure sustainable practices.
