Claim 14 clm-1470993a351307f5 quantitative

Published field
impact · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this file
What the mapping says
The project page says about 60% of the plant's roughly 400,000 tonnes of annual CO2 is biogenic, so the project will remove around 200,000 tonnes of biogenic CO2 from the carbon cycle each year, presented as negative emissions (BECCS).
Caveat
The operator's own release puts the split at roughly half permanent removal and half fossil reduction.
