In Washington, Energy Futures Initiative (EFI) has released a new report focused on actionable pathways for deploying bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) at scale.
The report – Taking Root: A Policy Blueprint for Responsible BECCS Development in the United States – affirms how BECCS can advance decarbonization needs by providing the permanent removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere while also accelerating the decarbonization of the electric grid with firm and dispatchable climate-friendly power.
EFI’s roadmap outlines the clear need for establishing a holistic policy framework to guide BECCS development, highlighting the technology’s unique potential to offer net-negative emissions at a large scale while also providing a steady, economically feasible energy supply. Notably, the authors state that the emerging sector has the potential to make a significant difference if provided with improved financing.
