EU opens public consultation on carbon capture and storage

CCS can be also used in so-called “Bio-Energy with Carbon Storage” (BECS) systems, a radical carbon negative energy concept. BECS relies on burning renewable and climate neutral biofuels instead of fossil fuels, after which the CO2 released is sequestered, making the over-all GHG balance negative. BECS is the only system that can take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere while delivering energy at the same time. Scientists who proposed BECS in the context of so-called “abrupt climate change” think such a system can take us back to pre-industrial CO2 levels in a few decades.
