measurementTotal biomass production in the USA in 2019 was 4.82 quads.

claimBioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) deployment is spread across a greater variety of regions compared to Direct Air Capture (DAC), with the highest potential occurring in the Gulf, Southeast, Ohio Valley, and portions of the Midwest regions of the United States.

referenceLangholtz et al. (2020) published 'Economic accessibility of CO2 sequestration through bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) in the US' in the journal Land, which assesses the economic feasibility of using BECCS for CO2 sequestration in the United States.

claimBioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) deployment at the scale of 1.81 quads represents a nontrivial but likely manageable increase in biomass production relative to the 2019 USA total of 4.82 quads.
