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.
