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.

Um Min Allah et al. (2026): Techno-economic assessment of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage for Brazilian thermoelectric power plants

Fazal Um Min Allah, Rodrigo Nogueira De Sousa, Elena Trim, Adriano da Silva Marques and Monica Carvalho, IN: Biomass and Bioenergy, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biombioe.2026.109043

To achieve near-zero carbon emissions in fossil-fueled power plants, one of the viable solutions is to use bioenergy along with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) for the thermoelectric sector in Brazil. This study is conducted to carry out techno-economic assessments for pulverized coal (PC) and natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants by employing BECCS. A comparative analysis of these technologies is presented, followed by the incorporation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) while using bioresources as fuel feedstock for PC (co-firing) and NGCC power plants.

Erste CO2-Transporte zur Einlagerung in Norwegen für 2025 geplant

deutschetageszeitung.de, 20.11.2023

„Im Jahr 2025 sollen die ersten Ladungen des Treibhausgases CO2 zur Einlagerung am Meeresgrund nach Norwegen gebracht werden. Der norwegische Düngemittelhersteller Yara International unterzeichnete am Montag einen Vertrag für den Transport von CO2 aus einer Fabrik in den Niederlanden. An dem „Northern Lights“ getauften Projekt sind mehrere große Energiekonzerne wie Equinor, Shell und TotalEnergies beteiligt.“

Klima-Glossar zur CO2-Speicherung

vienna.at, 20.11.2023 05:00 Uhr

„Neben der Wirtschaftlichkeit gibt es weitere Hürden für die CO2-Speicherung. In Österreich zum Beispiel ist sie seit 2011 verboten, weil es Bedenken wegen möglicher Umweltschäden gibt, sollte das CO2 plötzlich entweichen. Allerdings wird alle fünf Jahre überprüft, ob das Verbot noch gerechtfertigt ist. Der zuständige Bergbauminister Magnus Brunner (ÖVP) hat sich im Herbst 2023 für eine Aufhebung des Verbots ausgesprochen, die notwendige Zustimmung aus dem Grünen Klimaministerium fehlt aber nach wie vor. Neben Österreich ist die CO2-Speicherung in acht weiteren EU-Staaten verboten, darunter auch in Deutschland (Stand: 2023).“

Poliy Brief: Carbon Capture and Storage in the global climate debate

German Environment Agency, 15. November 2023

This policy brief refers mainly to the German Environment Agency’s position paper on CCS in the national context and provides further thoughts on the international perspective. -> https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/publikationen/carbon-capture-storage-diskussionsbeitrag

„In light of the overall picture, we suggest that the limited potential of storage facilities and resources should be reserved exclusively for absolutely unavoidable emissions, explicitly excluding fossil emissions. Especially because CCS will become indispensable as a part of negative emission technologies, climate talks should focus on this role of CCS alone, and foster cooperation on the requirements for transport, storage safety and monitoring. In order to establish a test case that serves this purpose, CCS for thermal waste treating plants seems to be a feasible and relevant pilot scheme. Waste+CCS (WACCS) would sequester emissions that are hard to abate at the end of a long value chain with the potential to achieve negative emissions in the future. Noting that not all countries operate these plants to the same extent, we would like to encourage dialogue and joint discussion of specific strategies for testing such CCS-pilot projects, addressing the following challenges and risks.“

Ehlig-Economides (2023): Geologic carbon dioxide sequestration methods, opportunities, and impacts

Christine A Ehlig-Economides IN: Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering 42, 100957, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coche.2023.100957

Geologic sequestration of CO2 from stationary point source capture could mitigate nearly half of combustion emissions. As well, sequestering CO2 acquired through direct air capture of atmospheric CO2 could balance emissions from moving sources primarily related to transportation.
