Wang et al. (2026): Cost outlook of coal power with CCS and BECCS based on a component learning curve incorporating efficiency upgrades: a case study of China

Delu Wang, Fan Chen, Chunxiao Li and Lawrence Loh, IN: Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seta.2026.104950

Grasping the cost outlook of CCS and BECSS is crucial for guiding coal power-dependent nations in technological strategy planning and investment decision-making during the low-carbon transition. Given the practical characteristics of technological learning in the coal power sector and the limitations of existing literature in forecasting technology costs, this study adopts a learning rate estimation method that incorporates efficiency upgrade based on the component learning curve approach. Taking China as a case study, it analyzes the future cost trends and economic-environmental benefits of CCS and BECCS from a systematic perspective.

Mehnert et al. (2026): Long-term scenarios and energy system impacts of technological carbon dioxide removal deployment in Finland

Johanna Mehnert, Kati Koponen, Tomi Lindroos, Tiina Koljonen and Heidi Kirppu, IN: Environmental Research: Energy, https://doi.org/10.1088/2753-3751/ae57b0

This study analyzed energy system impacts of technological carbon dioxide removal (CDR) deployment in Finland. The authors modeled long-term scenarios up to 2050 for four CDR technologies: bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), biochar soil amendment, direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS), and enhanced weathering of mining rock waste (EW). An integrated energy economic model compiled using the TIMES-model generator was used to produce cost-minimal development scenarios for Finland’s energy system, including CDR technologies. Three scenarios were modeled: one without a specific CDR target and two with low- and high CDR targets.

Liew et al. (2026): Operational insights into a biomass gasification with carbon capture as a CO₂ removal technology

Liew Zheng Liang, Josephine Hannah Macdonald, Nursyuhada Kamaruzaman, Suchithra Thangalazhy-Gopakumar, Ahmad Aiman Azmi, Ali Abbas, Nilay Shah, Norhuda Abdul Manaf, IN: Energy, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2026.140756

Recent studies emphasize the need for advanced and feasible technologies to meet the global agenda of achieving net-zero or negative carbon emissions. The authors evaluated the performance of a large-scale biomass gasification system utilizing palm kernel shell and integrated with carbon capture (BECCS) as a potentially viable carbon dioxide removal solution. The entire system was developed and simulated using ASPEN Plus. Key operational parameters of the BECCS system were investigated, including the equivalence ratio (ER), gasification temperature, monoethanolamine (MEA) concentration, and the liquid-to-gas (L/G) ratio.

Bishop et al. (2026): Cascading wood use into bioenergy with carbon capture and storage ensures continuous and enduring temperature reduction

George Bishop, Colm Duffy, Göran Berndes, Miguel Brandão, Annette Cowie, John R. Healey, Christiane Hennig, Kati Koponen, James Gaffey & David Styles, IN: Communications Earth & Environment, https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-026-03333-1

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.

Carvalho et al. (2026): The Role of Corrosion Resistance in the Technical Feasibility of CO₂ Injection Wells from BECCS

Juliana Carvalho, Fabiano Galbiati, Tatiana C. Almeida, Rogaciano M. Moreira, Merlin C. E. Bandeira, IN: AMPP Proceedings, https://doi.org/10.5006/C2026-00239

The growing demand for effective greenhouse gas mitigation strategies has driven the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, among which BECCS (Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage) stands out for its potential to deliver large-scale negative emissions. In this context, corrosion resistance is a critical requirement for the technical feasibility of CO₂ injection wells, as the presence of water and impurities such as H₂S, O₂, and ethanol can intensify corrosive mechanisms and compromise structural integrity and operational safety. Corrosion-induced failures may lead not only to significant operational costs but also to severe risks of containment loss and environmental impact. In this scenario, rigorous selection of corrosion-resistant materials, coupled with the application of protective barrier systems and the deployment of advanced monitoring strategies, is essential to ensure the long-term integrity and operational safety of CO₂ injection wells throughout their service life.

Searchinger et al. (2026): Decades of Increased Emissions from Forest-Fueled BECCS – Preprint

Timothy Searchinger, Liqing Peng, Daniella Russi, Charles Canham, IN: ResearchSquare, https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9038129/v1

Should climate policies encourage bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) using wood from existing forests? Although mitigation pathways in integrated assessment models often rely on BECCS fueled by energy crops, European governments are moving to financially support BECCS sourced instead from existing forests. To estimate its emissions and financial costs, they develop a model that transparently tracks carbon flows from forest to end use and allows policymakers to easily alter assumptions.

Wong et al. (2026): Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS): Interconnected technological challenges and advances using biomass thermochemical conversion towards negative emissions

Min Jin Karen Wong, Sunlee Han, Sea-Eun Park, Hyeon Yeong Roh, Madhan Kuppusamy, Ju-Won Oh, Hyungseok Nam, Youngsoo Lee and See Hoon Lee, IN: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2026.116832

Addressing the climate crisis demands both emission reduction and large-scale negative emission technologies capable of permanently removing CO₂ from the atmosphere. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is one of the most prominent options, as it integrates biomass conversion with CO₂ capture, transportation, and geological storage. Unlike conventional CCS, BECCS links a biological supply chain with an engineered capture-storage chain, creating strong interdependencies in which limitations at one stage propagate throughout the system. This review synthesizes progress made over the past five years across the full BECCS chain.

Kır (2026): Biochar engineering and life-cycle performance of biochar–BECCS systems for carbon dioxide removal

Ali Bertan Kır, IN: Middle East Technical University, https://open.metu.edu.tr/handle/11511/118491

Climate change is driven by the accumulation of greenhouse gases, so alongside rapid CO₂ emission reductions, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is increasingly needed, and biomass offers a strategic pathway by converting photosynthetically fixed carbon into useful products and energy while enabling net CO₂ removal. Building on this biomass utilization perspective, this thesis bridges sustainable materials science and system-level CDR assessment by first producing and engineering advanced biomass-derived carbon materials (biochar) through one-step impregnation and pyrolysis, and then evaluating biochar as a standardized carbon product within a high-level, integrated biochar (BC) – BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage) framework (BC+CCS), leveraging the fact that both technologies rely on the same biomass feedstock supply chains.
