During the month of January, further research was carried out on understanding and evaluating the availability and potential availability of fire clearing, and other, forestry residue in California. Further investigations into the negative emissions of biomass pyrolysis products and their upgrading for use in other products (such as fuels) by incorporating carbon capture, drying and compression, and sequestration systems were executed. The cost to achieve the maximum amount of negative emissions from these biomass-pyrolysis products with carbon capture and sequestration techniques was calculated. Sensitivity analysis was employed to understand how feedstock collection cost and product selling price affects this cost.
