CARMA-Green Fuels Cross Mission Carbon Management

To further develop existing theoretical understanding on the concept of sustainable biomass with GHG neutrality when applied with a holistic integration across sectors

To coordinate the use of novel solutions to negative emissions (carbon storage solutions) across different sectors based on carbon captured in biomass, from point source emissions, and directly from the atmosphere

To develop crosscutting society system analysis methodologies, tools, and models allowing for an overarching holistic co-optimization of the carbon balance across all sectors of agriculture, forestry, energy, transport, industry, buildings, waste management, and materials

To use these models on the assessment and development of a sustainable co-optimized carbon management strategy for green fuels in the green transition of Denmark

To create an understanding of sustainable biomass availability and of the holistic carbon balance of a net zero society on the global scale to reveal the techno-economic feasibility of solutions, models and system designs and their scalability and applicability as models for a global climate solution

This project will contribute with the following results outlining the potential future development of sustainable use of biomass in the fully decarbonized society:

Potential quantities of additional agricultural and forest biomass that can be produced sustainably within Denmark under different scenario conditions

Optimized use of forest biomass, integrating temporal aspects of the allocation of carbon to the forest ecosystem, materials, energy products and permanent underground storage

Which other policies and ecosystem services can be supported by a transition of Danish agriculture and forestry facilitated by an integration with the energy, material, and carbon markets

Technology scenarios for the best utilisation of our biomass resources into various materials, energy products and carbon storage via cascade utilisation

Perspectives for achieving a greening of Danish agriculture from conversion into a higher share of crop cover across the landscape and over time, with a utilisation of the new crops for biorefinin
