To achieve its ”30-60” dual climate targets, China has to implement BECCS technology that will account for at least a quarter of all CO₂ reductions. The techno-economic trade-offs associated with integrating CCS technology to biomass power plants within the Chinese context have not been fully explored in spite of China’s huge combustion-based bioenergy industry. This study’s findings demonstrate that CCS integration to a typical biomass CHP plant would result in a 90% increase in the levelized cost of electricity, and sustainable use of China’s biomass resources in the system would result in a CO₂ abatement four times the current reduction from installed PV and wind technology.
