Biomass-Produced CO2 Should Be Counted As Damaging to Global Warming to Some Extent, Researchers...
Since ages, it's been considered that if you burn biomass the net carbon dioxide emission is zero, since the CO2 emitted is equal to the CO2 absorbed in growing plants. A research conducted at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) says otherwise: we should also count those CO2 emissions along with the ones produced by petrol, for example.
