Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage: Towards net zero emissions

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a promising technology that has the potential to help the world achieve net zero emissions. As the global community grapples with the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming, BECCS offers a way not only to generate energy from renewable sources, but also to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. The BECCS concept involves the use of biomass such as plants and organic waste as a fuel source for energy production. During the combustion process, the emitted carbon dioxide is captured and stored underground, preventing it from entering the atmosphere. This process effectively creates a negative carbon footprint as the biomass absorbs CO2 during growth and the subsequent capture and storage of emissions results in a net removal of CO2 from the atmosphere.
