Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage: Understanding the climate benefits

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a process by which biogenic CO2 from a bioenergy pathway is captured and stored, permanently removing it from the atmosphere. It is recognized as an important suite of technologies for limiting global warming to 1.5 °c. However, its wide-scale adoption is scrutinized because of land and resource requirements, and lack of technology readiness.

This webinar looks at the climate benefits of BECCS technologies and how they can be quantified. It also explores both the advantages and risks through real-world case studies. The discussion draws out some good practices and policies that can support the sustainable development of BECCS and its positive climate impacts.
