The Carbon Removers has published earlier this year a white paper titled “Storing What We Remove: Building the Future of Biogenic Carbon Removal” which covers approaches to carbon storage and the role of biogenic CO₂ from industrial processes.

The paper outlines three carbon storage approaches and discusses their benefit and challenge profiles.

• Above-ground carbonation, including mineralisation processes that convert CO₂ into solid carbonate materials (“turning CO₂ into stone”), described as a stepping stone for permanent carbon removal and early-stage deployment
• Offshore geological storage, discussed for its potential to enable large-scale and long-term carbon storage through deep subsurface formations
• Onshore storage, described as the next frontier for carbon storage development, with emphasis on expanding accessible infrastructure and deployment pathways

The paper also examines biogenic carbon from fermentation-related industrial processes (biomethane from waste and distilleries…), describing it as a competitive and agile carbon removal pathway that requires formal recognition and scalable access to storage.
