BECCS
BECCS stands for Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage, which is a technology that uses renewable energy production from sources such as biomass (e.g., agricultural or forestry residues), but with the capture and storage of carbon emitted during combustion.
In practice, during energy production, emissions are captured and stored underground or in other secure storage sites, so they are not released into the atmosphere. This helps to reduce the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and contribute to the goal of “drawdown“.
BECCS is considered a promising technology for combating climate change as it not only produces clean energy but also removes carbon from the atmosphere. However, to become fully operational, it requires further research and development and increased investment in carbon capture and storage infrastructure and technologies.
