Direct Storage of Biomass Coalition launches to advance carbon removal pathway

  • The Carbon Business Council has launched the Direct Storage of Biomass (DSB) Coalition, a new industry working group bringing together companies to advance direct biomass storage as a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) pathway.
  • Direct storage of biomass — also referred to as terrestrial storage of biomass — involves durably storing organic material such as waste wood, agricultural residues, biochar, or other plant matter to lock carbon out of the active carbon cycle.
  • Material can be buried or stored in sealed underground reservoirs, wells, or other containers, with the approach able to draw on existing forestry, agricultural, and biomass-handling infrastructure.
  • The coalition will serve as a forum for collaboration among project developers, technology providers, and policy experts, with the aim of improving shared understanding of the pathway and supporting informed decision-making by carbon credit buyers and policymakers.
