Biomass composting with gaseous carbon dioxide capture

“…In the current composting industry, a relatively large facility generates 20 000 wet tonnes of compost per year. 22 If CO 2 capture is implemented at such a facility, approximately 10 000 tonnes of CO 2 would be captured per year. Thus, the scale of CO 2 capture per site is relatively small compared with other biomass facilities such as bioenergy with carbon capture and sequestration, which can capture more than 500 000 tonnes of CO 2 per year per site.…”
