Methods for carbon dioxide removalBioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS)

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) combines a variety of processes and can be used in various industries such as energy, cement and paper. It essentially comprises two processes: biogas processing to produce biomethane by capturing CO₂ from waste gas streams, also referred to as “biomethane”, and conversion of biomass into energy (electricity and heat), both in bioenergy plants with combined heat and power (BECCS in the narrower sense) and in waste carbon capture and storage (WACCS) plants. In both cases, the captured CO₂ is stored permanently.
