Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage – real-worlding emission estimates’

Description

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) could play an important role in meeting the UK’s net zero emissions target according to the sixth carbon budget scenarios. However, there are many different ways BECCS could be deployed in the UK, and how that roll out is managed could make a big difference in terms of how much of a role BECCS plays in the UK net zero ambitions. In this article, Dr Muir Freer, Dr Clair Gough and Dr Andrew Welfle, from the Tyndall Centre, outline the model they created to help the deployment of BECCS for the UK to meet net zero and help ensure the roll-out of low-carbon supply chains.
