At MGT we see biomass as the next phase of the solution.
The recent fossil fuel age has seen natural carbon cycling upset by one-way flows out of long term storage underground and into our atmosphere as pollution.
Plants harness the energy from the sun to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and fix the carbon in useful, high energy molecules. Subsequent combustion of these molecules to utilise their energy releases the carbon back to the atmosphere, and this closed loop ensures the carbon neutral nature of our fuel.
As with all fuels, there are some emissions from producing biomass, for example from harvesting and transportation. However, carbon footprint analysis of our fuel supply chains shows that large scale biomass will deliver 90% greenhouse gas savings versus natural gas or coal through the entire life-cycle.
