What is BECCUS and Why Does It Matter? 🌍
BECCUS (Bioenergy with Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage) is a critical negative emissions technology. Here’s a quick breakdown:
1️⃣ How It Works 🌱
Plants absorb CO₂ as they grow. We then convert biomass into energy, capture the resulting CO₂, and store it permanently or utilize it—removing more carbon than we emit.
2️⃣ The Scale of Impact 📊
The IEA projects BECCUS could capture 1.3 billion tonnes of CO₂ annually by 2050. Current pilot projects already achieve over 90% capture efficiency.
3️⃣ Standardizing the Future 📝
The world's first international standard proposal for BECCS has been successfully initiated, paving the way for global deployment and verification.
This is a vital tool for tackling hard-to-abate sectors.
