Reply to 'Emissions accounting for biomass energy with CCS' Daniel L. Sanchez, James H. Nelson, Josiah Johnston, Ana Mileva & Daniel M. Kammen Nature Climate Change 5, 496 (2015) doi:10.1038/nclimate2634 Published online 21 May 2015 Sanchez et al. reply Our Letter1 assesses the impact on regional carbon emissions if biomass energy is used to replace fossil fuels in the electricity system, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) is used to sequester most of the emissions associated with electricity production. Our bioenergy assessment prioritizes, but does not… References Sanchez, D. L., Nelson, J. H., Johnston, J., Mileva, A. & Kammen, D. M. Nature Clim. Change 5, 230–234 (2015).
