In summary, it's same CCS with a different CO_2 source, biogas. No CO_2 is removed from the atmosphere; gas which would otherwise by released can be capture. The paper discusses that capturing from biogas upgraders is more efficient than capturing from other sources. They not discuss the actual capture-and-storage process.

The problem with biomethane is that there isn't going to be enough of it.
