In Sweden, according to the climate policy goals, Sweden must have net zero emissions by 2045 and then negative emissions of greenhouse gases. In order to achieve negative emissions, additional measures are also required. One way is to separate carbon dioxide from biogenic origin, so-called bio-CCS, from, for example, various industrial processes or combustion plants […]
In Wyoming, the most direct route to carbon-negative electricity may lie in smokestacks we have already built. A sweeping review by researchers from the University of Wyoming published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts argues that retrofitting relatively young coal plants to co-fire biomass and capture up to 99 % of resulting CO2 could […]
In Japan, Marubeni Corporation and Japan Petroleum Exploration Co., Ltd. have entered into a joint study agreement with PT Pertamina, an Indonesian state-owned enterprise engaged in integrated energy, and its subsidiary PT Pertamina Hulu Energi to conduct a feasibility assessment on BECCS at a pulp mill and nearby oil field area in South Sumatra Province, […]
In the UK, DNV has validated a new methodology for the certification of net carbon dioxide removals delivered using bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). DNV’s endorsement of the methodology developed by Drax and Stockholm Exergi, is an important milestone, which will support and enable the deployment of BECCS, a vital climate saving technology […]
In Ohio, Babcock & Wilcox has been granted a limited notice to proceed (LNTP) by NorthStar Clean Energy to begin work on a Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) conversion of a former coal-fired power plant in Filer City, Mich., using B&W’s biomass SolveBright™ post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology. B&W is working with […]
In Brazil, FS, a producer of ethanol and animal nutrition said it has just completed technical studies that prove suitable geological conditions for injecting carbon dioxide (CO2), emitted in the fermentation phase of biofuel production, in the subsoil. The firm said it could become the world’s first ethanol producer with a negative carbon footprint and […]
In Brazil, FS has just completed technical studies that prove suitable geological conditions for injecting carbon dioxide (CO2), emitted in the fermentation phase of biofuel production, in the subsoil. Hence, the company can become the world’s first ethanol producer with a negative carbon footprint and the first to develop BECCS technology (acronym in English for […]
In Texas, Drax Group announced a new carbon removals deal with Karbon-X. The agreement is the latest indicator of growing demand for high-quality carbon removals from bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). Karbon-X will purchase carbon dioxide removals (CDR) credits from Drax representing 25,000 metric tons of permanently stored carbon at $350 per tonne […]
In North Dakota, Red Trail Energy (RTE), and Puro.earth announced issuance of RTE’s carbon dioxide (CO2) removal credits on the Puro Registry, making it the first ethanol production facility to generate CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs) in the voluntary carbon market (VCM). RTE worked with clean energy advisory firm EcoEngineers to successfully register its project under […]
