Bioenergy and Carbon Capture and Storage

14th March 2019

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.
