Carbon Dioxide Removal


BECCS

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a technique where biomass is grown and converted into electricity, heat, or fuel, and the carbon emissions from this conversion are captured and stored in geological formations or embedded in long-lasting products. The capture and storage process is similar to the approach in a carbon capture and storage facility connected to a fossil fuel power plant.

Transnational Legal Processes, the EU and RED II: Strengthening the Global Governance of Bioenergy

2019
Scholarly Work
Emily Webster
This paper argues that the emergence of a transnational legal process that strengthens the sustainable production of biomass, balances the benefits of BECCS with the negative social and environmental externalities associated with biomass production.

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS): Global Potential, Investment Preferences, and Deployment Barriers

2018
Scholarly Work
Matthias Fridahl, Mariliis Lehtveer
This paper explores the influence of expertise, actor type, and origin on preferences for investing in BECCS, views of the role of BECCS as a mitigation technology, and assesses the possible domestic barriers to BECCS deployment.
