• America's leading scientific body is in a research program that can remove vast quantities of carbon-dioxide from atmosphere.
• To meet the climate goals under the Paris Agreement 10 billion tons of carbon-dioxide from the air should be removed.
• To develop the technologies and scale up to 10 billion tons of carbon-dioxide a lot of activities are required.
• It might be possible to collect wood or plant matter that has absorbed carbon-dioxide from air, burn it in biomass power plant for energy and then capture the carbon released from combustion and bury it underground.
• But one potential problem with this approach is that the land required to grow biomass for there power plant run into conflict with need for  farmland.
• This method might be able to remove 3 billion to 5 billion tons of carbon-dioxide from air in each  year.
