44. It should be noted that under current conditions both nuclear and solar energy options also entail carbon dioxide emissions, simply because fossil energy is required for the fabrication of the materials embodied in plant and equipment and for construction and operation of these energy facilities. Full fuel-cycle analysis is needed to determine the exact amount of emissions of these otherwise genuinely emission free energy sources, but all available analysis suggests significant net emission gains for these options. For biomass, the situation is somewhat different as emissions are inevitably released during combustion. In the case of carbon dioxide these can be neutral if the biomass is harvested on a sustainable basis. Other emissions, e.g., carbon monoxide or methane released during combustion can be reduced through the utilization of appropriate combustion technologies, such as the gasification of biomass in conjunction with combined-cycle gas turbines for electricity generation (IGCC, or integrated gasification combined cycle technology).
