Of all the tools we have to curb climate change, devoting land to growing bioenergy crops is among the most contentious. The reason it’s considered a solution is that plants suck up carbon from the air while they grow. But critics say biofuels’ carbon-neutrality is a mirage. The case for negative emissions.
