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.

“…Nevertheless, on the level of a city, municipality, or a region, BECCS could well be a feasible solution, despite the land requirement being in direct competition with other sectors, such as food cultivation or forestry (Napp et al 2017;McGlashan et al 2012;Arasto et al 2014). In addition to the required land area, there may be difficulties in supply chains related to the transport and storage of biomass (Bennett et al 2019).…”

In order to reach carbon neutrality, GHG emissions from all sectors of society need to be strongly reduced. This especially applies to the construction sector. For those emissions that remain hard to reduce, removals or compensations are required. Such approaches can also be found within the built environment, but have not yet been systematically utilized. This paper presents a review of possible carbon storage technologies based on literature and professional experience. The existing technologies for storing carbon can be divided into 13 approaches. Some are already in use, many possess the potential to be scaled up, while some presently seem to only be theoretical. We propose typologies for different approaches, estimate their net carbon storage impact and maturity, and suggest a ranking based on their applicability, impact, and maturity. Our findings suggest that there is an underutilized potential for systematically accumulating atmospheric carbon in the built environment.

“…As regards bioenergy with carbon capture, biomass is either the sole fuel or co-fired with fossil fuels for the production of electricity only. In the former case, LCAs focus on comparing power generation technologies and fuels [16][17][18][19][20], whereas the influence of the co-combustion ratio is studied in the latter case [21][22][23]. Hammar and Levihn's [24] work is an exception in that the influence of a new cogeneration plant is investigated.…”
