However, the feasibility of BECCS depends on the availability of biomass resource, sizeable demand to cover, and access to long-term CO₂ storage that differs from one region to another. Several studies have investigated the BECCS deployment scenarios at national levels. However, most studies have not addressed the implication of BECCS supply chain design in the context of long-term regional electricity system development, considering the regional disparity of energy resource, CO₂ sources, and CO₂ sinks. This study assessed the potential and impacts of BECCS development in Indonesia’s electricity sector net zero transition scenarios using capacity expansion model that incorporates grid expansion problem considering the regional disparities of resource and existing infrastructure.
