Introduction to Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS)

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a carbon removal technique that depends on two technologies. Biomass (organic material) is converted into heat, electricity, or liquid or gas fuels (the “bioenergy” step), and the carbon emissions from this bioenergy conversion are captured and stored in geological formations or embedded in long-lasting products (the “carbon capture and storage” step). Because biomass draws carbon from the atmosphere as it grows, BECCS can be a negative emissions technology when it is implemented well.
In this webinar, held March 21, 2022, and hosted by the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy, a panel of experts delved into some of the basics around BECCS. The discussion covered an overview of the variety of BECCS technologies, highlights from a recent report “Surveying the BECCS Landscape” released by Energy Futures Initiative, and cover responsible and sustainable deployment.
Panelists:
Dr. Daniel Sanchez, Department of Environmental Science, Policy, & Management UC Berkeley
Dr. Meron Tesfaye, Bipartisan Policy Center
Sam Savitz, Energy Futures Initiative
Moderator:
Dr. David Morrow, Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy

Seems the Environmental Academics have hit a home run. Wish I could of had this to back up my entry Xprixe Carbon Removal Musk Foundation milestone awards. But I see the stars aligning to make a happy earth day. Well done folks .
