Key Points on Carbon:
- The globe requires carbon reduction efforts to start immediately
- We have finite agricultural and forest resources as biomass feed-stocks
- Utilizing biomass for corn ethanol does not significantly reduce net carbon emissions (given emissions from transport and processing.)
- Utilizing biomass for heating provides a net 75% reduction
