Opinion
Kann: Scaling biomass carbon removal faces severe bottlenecks from competing land uses
“I'm actually probably less concerned about that than I am concerned about the biomass-based approaches in the long term, because if those are really going to scale, like, we can use waste biomass till the cows come home, so to speak, today but there are going …”

Insight
Kann: Scaling biomass technologies will face intense competition for feedstock
“Anything that uses biomass as it scales up at some point is going to compete with alternative uses for that biomass. So if you're trying to source exclusively waste biomass, you need to be the best solution for whoever holds the keys to that waste biomass, be …”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Lubershane: Decarbonization will trigger intense competition for waste biomass
“You need new dedicated land growing crops for that biomass, and I, you know, jury's still out, right, but I'm skeptical we're going to see that happen, and what that means is actually you have a run not, not on new land, but probably a run on what's called, wh…”

Assertion Contradicted
Friedmann: Lancaster, California runs its municipal operations entirely on waste biomass
“City of Lancaster in California is running the entire city on waste biomass. They're putting it into a plasma gasifier, and they're running their trucks, and they're running their power systems, and they're running their heating entirely on waste biomass.”

Assertion Supported
Friedmann: Waste biomass usage could remove up to 5.5 billion tons CO2
“A study we did is on the order of two and a half to five and a half billion tons of CO₂ could be removed by just using that waste.”

Assertion Partly supported
Friedmann: Waste Biomass Is Sufficient to Scale SAF Without Hitting Limits
“We do need huge volumes of biomass to make huge volumes of sustainable aviation fuel. But in point of fact, there is way more waste biomass than that. So we're not going to hit the limit just on sustainable aviation fuel.”
