Europe increasingly acknowledges that carbon removals are essential for achieving climate neutrality. The EU is building CO₂ transport infrastructure, discussing permanent removals and developing certification frameworks. Yet one major contradiction remains: The only scalable negative-emission technology available today - BECCS - depends on sustainable biomass. And biomass itself is still often treated as a political liability instead of strategic infrastructure. That tension is becoming impossible to ignore. Explore why Europe’s carbon removal ambitions and its biomass debate are increasingly on a collision course - and why this matters for industrial competitiveness, energy security and the future of net zero. https://lnkd.in/drZpJ_JR #BECCS #Biomass #CarbonRemoval #NetZero #CCS #ClimatePolicy #EnergyTransition #IndustrialPolicy #Bioenergy #EUClimatePolicy
