8, 15 In addition, about 50% of this amount is fixed by marine primary producers. Despite having scalability and efficiency limitations, biological CO2 fixation reactions are highly selective and often require little resources, spurring interest in developing biomimetic and bio-based technologies for CO2 capture and sequestration. The last decade has witnessed a rapid increase in the number of journal publications, while Recently, viable and cost-effective negative-emissions technologies have been developed, collectively referred to as Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), for utilizing biomass (derived from biologically fixed CO2) as the energy source to capture and permanently store CO2 produced during the conversion of biomass to energy. According to a report published in 2019, five facilities were utilizing this technology to capture ~1.5 million tons of CO2 per year. However, a recent study predicts that BECCS has a global potential to sequester up to 5.2 gigatons of CO2 per year without having any adverse impacts on the land-use requirements. The accelerated publication activity related to BECCS over the last 6 years is reflective of these recent developments (Figure ).
