In the UK, the Environment Agency has granted an environmental permit variation to Drax Power Limited in Yorkshire following a public consultation on the Agency’s draft decision regarding the incorporation of carbon capture at its bioenergy plant near Selby, which took place earlier in the summer. The decision is based on Drax demonstrating that it […]
In Texas, Frontier Infrastructure Holdings has entered into a multi-year commercial agreement to bring Frontier’s ethanol bioenergy carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits to buyers across global carbon markets. The partnership represents the largest ethanol BECCS carbon removal agreement announced to date, as corporate demand for durable, high-integrity removals continues to […]
In Brazil, earlier this month the Secretariat of Environment, Infrastructure and Logistics (Semil), the São Paulo State Research Foundation (Fapesp) and the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo (EPUSP), celebrated the partnership for the creation of the biogenic carbon capture and storage technology center (BECCS, Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage), in line […]
In Colorado, Gevo, Inc announced it is expanding access to its carbon abatement and carbon removal credit offering across both compliance and voluntary markets with the launch of gevocarbon.com – a new site focused on its bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) project. Gevo’s carbon removal sales in the first half of 2026 have […]
In the UK, the Environment Agency has opened a consultation into its draft decision to grant a permit variation to Drax Power Limited in Yorkshire. The company applied to vary its environment permit to incorporate carbon capture at its bioenergy plant near Selby. After reviewing comments and evidence from two previous public consultations, the Environment […]
In Ireland, a large-scale study has identified an effective way in which wood can be used to help achieve long-term climate targets. Led by researchers from the University of Galway in Ireland and experts from IEA Bioenergy, the study investigated how residual and waste wood can contribute to the permanent removal of carbon from the […]
In Canada, Svante Technologies Inc. says its bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) project at a paper mill in the Southeast U.S. has progressed to the feasibility study phase. The project is being developed in partnership with an integrated sustainable packaging company, following an extensive screening and pre-feasibility study conducted across several of the […]
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, […]
