Not All Carbon Is Equal: Why Biogenic CO2 Is Moving Into The Industrial Mainstream

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Biogenic CO₂ captured from fermentation and combustion is scaling into industry because it enables both removal and substitution.
Biogenic point sources stream higher CO₂ concentrations (12–18%), making capture cheaper than direct air capture.
U.S. policy, notably the 45Q tax credit, and large ethanol production have helped expand BECCS projects and finance new builds.
