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.

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.

Unconventional Mitigation: Carbon Dioxide Removal as a New Approach in EU Climate Policy

2020
Scholarly Work
Oliver Geden, Felix Schenuit
This study investigates the question of how the currently still unconventional carbon removal approach can be integrated into EU climate policy.

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS): Finding the win–wins for energy, negative emissions and ecosystem services—size matters

2020
Scholarly Work
Caspar Donnison, Robert A. Holland, Astley Hastings, Lindsay‐Marie Armstrong, Felix Eigenbrod, Gail Taylor
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.

Contested framings of greenhouse gas removal and its feasibility: Social and political dimensions

2020
Scholarly Work
Laurie Waller, Tim Rayner, Jason Chilvers, Clair Amanda Gough, Irene Lorenzoni, Andrew Jordan, Naomi Vaughan
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.

2020
Scholarly Work
Mark Workman, Kate Dooley, Guy Lomax, James Maltby, Geoff Darch
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.
