CO₂ capture is the technology that allows carbon dioxide released during combustion processes to be captured before it is emitted into the atmosphere. When it comes from forest biomass, this CO₂ is of biogenic origin: the carbon that trees absorbed during their growth and which, by being captured rather than released, prevents new carbon from being added to the natural cycle.

This technology reinforces the role of biomass in decarbonization, reduces dependence on fossil fuels, and opens up new avenues for utilizing captured carbon, whether through permanent storage or its use in the production of synthetic fuels. At Greenalia, we are advancing this technology at our Curtis-Teixeiro biomass plant, which captures more than 500,000 metric tons of biogenic CO₂ per year, and we continue to work on the next steps of this project.
