“…Biomass fermentation to ethanol (F+E) facilities are attractive sites for CCS because they offer a concentrated stream of relatively clean CO 2 and often capture it as a by‐product for the carbonated drink industry. In these facilities, carbon sequestration is primarily a matter of finding a suitable CO 2 storage site (Fabbri and coworkers [ 71,72 ] ). Retrofitting a CCS unit into an existing F+E facility will increase production costs while reducing emissions, but this approach may not always lead to net negative emissions.…”

“…However, this estimate does not include CCS costs. Fabbri et al [ 71 ] estimated the cost of adding CCS to an ethanol facility to range between €56 and €143 ton −1 of CO 2 captured. We added $0.11 per gallon of ethanol to the ethanol prices based on a €56 ton −1 CO 2 capture cost, $1.14 per € currency conversion factor, and 105 000 tons of CO 2 per 60 million gallons of ethanol generated.…”

Negative emission technologies (NETs) are of growing importance for society to meet the atmospheric carbon levels required to maintain global temperatures under sustainable limits. A wide range of NETs have been proposed, but there are limited NET assessments that integrate life cycle analysis (LCA) and techno‐economic analysis (TEA). This Review gathers NET TEA/LCA findings and compares their costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Eight different NET‐producing transportation fuels and power‐generation technologies are considered: anaerobic digestion (lignocellulosic), fermentation, torrefaction, combustion, fast pyrolysis, gasification, and hydrothermal liquefaction. Most of these technologies sequester carbon either as carbon dioxide or as biochar. Some are carbon negative by virtue of avoided or displaced emissions. Overall, results indicate that NET energy production costs range between $20 and $80 GJ−1 and have emissions from −400 to 100 kg CO2,eq GJ−1. These results suggest that there are potential tradeoffs to consider when developing NETs. These results also show that future TEA/LCA studies of NETs are needed to decrease their uncertainty and improve their technology readiness level.
