(BECCS).
Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) involves capturing and permanently storing carbon dioxide from processes where biomass is converted into fuels or directly burned to generate energy.
Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage is the only carbon dioxide removal technique that can also provide energy.
Because bioenergy can provide high-temperature heat and fuels that work in existing engines, BECCS can play an important role in decarbonising sectors such as heavy industry, aviation and trucking
