The LCFS and CCS Protocol: An Overview for Policymakers and Project Developers
The LCFS and CCS Protocol: An Overview for Policymakers and Project Developers

24th May 2019

Organisation(s): Global CCS Institute

Topic(s): Biofuels / Bioenergy, CCS protocol, Policy law and regulation, United States

The Global CCS Institute has launched a report analyzing California’s recently passed carbon capture and storage protocol. The report provides a summary of the regulation for project developers and policymakers in other states and countries, given the Protocol's global applicability. While comparing it to other relevant regulations – including the federal carbon capture tax credit also known as 45Q – the report seeks to raise awareness for the opportunities created through the protocol and to advance deployment opportunities.

The protocol incentivizes carbon capture and storage projects reducing the lifecycle emissions from bioethanol, hydrogen, and crude, provided the fuel is sold into the California market, as well as direct air capture projects globally.

Bioenergy and Carbon Capture and Storage
Bioenergy and Carbon Capture and Storage

14th March 2019

Organisation(s): Global CCS Institute

Topic(s): Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), Biofuels / Bioenergy, Negative emissions technologies

After almost thirty years of climate change negotiations, global CO2 levels are still rising (NOAA, 2018). The UNFCCC Paris Agreement goals of holding global warming to ‘well-below’ 2°C and to ‘pursue efforts’ to limit it to 1.5°C are in stark contrast to the ever-dwindling carbon budget.

The evidence makes it clear. CO2 needs to be removed from the atmosphere, known as carbon dioxide removal (CDR)using negative emissions technologies (NETs) to meet global warming targets. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is emerging as the best solution to decarbonise emission-intensive industries and sectors and enable negative emissions.

This Perspective from Christopher Consoli, Senior Consultant - Storage, explores this technology and its deployment as a climate mitigation solution.
