BECCS projects

BECCS (Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage) projects involve producing energy from biomass, such as plants or agricultural waste, while capturing and storing the resulting carbon dioxide emissions underground. This process effectively removes CO₂ from the atmosphere, helping to combat climate change. It combines renewable energy generation with carbon removal, making it a potential tool for achieving net-zero emissions. BECCS projects are being considered worldwide as part of efforts to reduce greenhouse gases while producing power, but they require careful management of biomass sources and storage sites to ensure environmental safety and sustainability.
