Bioenergy and carbon capture and storage (BECCS)

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is a climate solution that combines generating energy from plants (biomass) with capturing the carbon dioxide (CO₂) produced during this process. Plants naturally absorb CO₂ as they grow, so using them for energy can be carbon-neutral or even negative if the CO₂ is captured and stored underground. BECCS helps reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, supporting efforts to combat climate change. It offers a way to produce energy while actively removing CO₂, creating a sustainable balance between energy needs and environmental protection.
