CO2 capture and storage by carbonation of biomass ashes

Abstract

The CO2 capture and storage by carbonation of eight short-term stored, long-term stored and weathered biomass ashes was studied. It was found that the CO2 uptake by BAs is up to 2–32% (mean 16%). Hence, the future large-scale sustainable biomass production and combustion can contribute greatly for reducing CO2 emissions in the atmosphere.
