Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS)
Renewable Energy Tags: BECCS, Bioenergy, Capture, CARBON, StorageNo Comments »
BECCS, or Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage, is a technology that the IPCC has factored into their climate modelling. If it is to have the effect of keeping their models to well below 2 degrees Celsius of warming compared to pre-industrial levels then it will need to be implemented on a vast scale around the globe.
This week we take a snapshot of scientific and journalistic analysis of this controversial proposal.
