Farmers have suffered 23% negative financial impact of due to climate change between 2001-2020, due to climate crisis induced negative conditions like droughts, fires and floods - that’s a lot!
Biomass is renewable if replenished, and can be used as a bridging fuel in industries like aviation and fertilisers, where carbon neutral technology is still being developed. Formula One is switching to this fuel. Note: this is not a license to use biomass for everything, we can’t offset our current emissions as is!
Bagasse from sugar processing in Qld, feedstocks from land not suitable for food, and algae grown in coastal locations, can all be used to create Biomass, and create extra income for Farmers.
Great doco on how biomass and it’s relation to brewing beer here
Once we reach Carbon Neutral, we still need to put all the extra CO₂e we created back in the ground (or bottom of ocean) - note: this is not a license to create more CO₂e emissions! We’re already way behind!
Australia’s about 26mtco2e p.a., though 100-150mtco2e is needed. More than half of Australia’s landmass is managed by farmers. Arid and semi-arid rangelands (that are hard to farm, though exemplary for growing billions of high CO₂ sequestering trees like mulga and mallee eucalypts) make up about 70% of Australia’s landmass. Farmers could be reimbursed with carbon credits for planting these trees, to help offset economic losses.

Inaction could cost Australia -$3.4 trillion and 880k job losses, though climate action could gain $680 billion and 250k jobs, according to Deloitte

Australia’s environmental decline is a ‘grim reality’ and ‘shocking’
’To protect our environment Australia must revisit its emission reduction commitments and work with other countries to provide the leadership and collaboration required to place Australia and the world on a safer climate trajectory’
