Yup. But it is a done deal, about 500 GtC worth. Much of that needs
putting back, one way or the other.
That said, if biocoal can be produced as inexpensively as I estimated,
provided the locations are not stranded (that is, transportation costs
are too high), biocoal could compete with coal in today's market
place.
Indeed, the cost of metalurgical grade anthracite (coking coal) is now
so high that I am quite convinced that bio-anthracite can readily find
a market. It just takes somebody to start doing it.
But the point was that for quite a modest tax, it would be possible to
start 'putting it back' today, safely and 'forever' secure.
