Topic:
Bio-based Carbon Capture: The Role of Biomass in Climate Mitigation
Did you know? Biomass isn’t just renewable energy—it’s one of Earth’s most powerful natural tools for pulling carbon out of the atmosphere. While fossil-based approaches dominate headlines, nature-based solutions like biochar, BECCS, composting, agroforestry, and regenerative agriculture offer scalable, equitable, and immediate pathways to net-zero.
In this compelling session, Prof. Dato’ Dr. Agamutu Pariatamby FASc will unpack how bio-based carbon capture could deliver up to 6.7 gigatonnes of CO₂-equivalent mitigation annually by 2050 (IPCC, 2022). You’ll discover:
- How BECCS alone could remove 3.5–5.0 GtCO₂e/year, while biochar adds another 1.1–3.3 GtCO₂e/year
- Why enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) through compost and biochar boosts fertility, water retention, and climate resilience by 10–40%
- How decentralized biomass systems can cut landfill waste by 30–50%, power rural communities with biogas and bio-CNG, and create 70–100 green jobs per 10,000 tonnes of processed biomass
- The triple win of circular farming: 20–40% less fertilizer, 15–25% lower costs, and 10–25% higher yields
Whether you’re a scientist, policymaker, sustainability professional, student, or climate advocate, this talk will reshape how you see the role of biomass—not just as waste, but as a cornerstone of a just, resilient, and decarbonized future.
It’s free. It’s global. And it’s happening live.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from one of Asia’s leading voices in sustainable development and climate action.
