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.
This Global CCS Institute report takes a closer look at the European Green Deal and highlights three main challenges for CCS in the existing legislation.

This paper identifies how smaller scale BECCS can be deployed to generate net welfare gains in the UK, and that landscape-scale and site-specific impacts need to be central to future BECCS policy developments.

This paper conducts a review of the international peer-reviewed literature pertaining to the social and political dimensions of large-scale CDR, with a specific focus on two predominant approaches: BECCS and afforestation/reforestation.

This paper critically examines both the use of BECCS in mitigation scenarios and the decision making philosophy underlying the use of integrated assessment modelling to inform climate policy.
