Abstract

BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage) is a carbon-negative technology that combines sustainable bioenergy conversion with CO₂ capture and storage (CCS). It is one of the more prospective large-scale carbon removal technologies. This chapter highlights a comprehensive analysis of BECCS technology including classification of bioenergies (biofuels, biomass, and third-generation biofuel), different conversion techniques, and production processes. CO₂ capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) ...
