Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a key component of pathways to net zero, yet potential interactions with forest carbon dynamics, cascading wood strategies, and progressive decarbonisation and CCS deployment are poorly represented in assessments. The authors, using dynamic life cycle assessment, explore these factors for sawmill residue-derived BECCS value chains over long, yet flexible, time-horizons.
