However, CCS techniques can also be applied to the use of biofuels. Biofuels are already carbon-neutral from the start. By capturing and storing their carbon, the energy system becomes radically carbon-negative. According to some researchers, such systems – called ‘Bio-Energy with Carbon Storage’external (BECS ) – can take us back to pre-industrial CO2 levels by mid-century. BECS effectively takes CO2 out of the carbon cycle; it cleans up our emissions from the past.
