BECCS - Introduction

Which one is NOT an example of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture & Storage (BECCS)?

• Biomass co-firing with CCS

• Biomass-based fertilizer production

• Biogas production with CCS

• Waste to Energy with CCS

Which type of biomass feedstock should be prioritized if we are concerned with the sustainability of its supply chain?

• Primary wood

• Algae

• Agricultural waste

• Wood pellets

Which sentence about biomass feedstock from AGRICULTURAL RESIDUES is FALSE here?

• On a GLOBAL level, a BIG SHARE of the residual biomass is just left on the fields

• In some regions, residues are still BURNED on open field

• A significant % of available biomass is currently used for animal feeding

• There are NO OTHER USES for agricultural residues besides BECCS

As of TODAY, which BECCS application captures the most CO2 every year?

• Post-combustion BECCS in the power sector

• BECCS in biogas production

• BECCS in biofuel production

• BECCS in waste to energy plants

According to the latest IEA Roadmap to Net-zero (NZ) 2050, what is the expected contribution of BECCS to the mitigation targets?

• BECCS is essential. It will provide most of the climate change mitigation by 2050

• BECCS has no role to play in any mitigation scenarios

• BECCS is the only technology that may remove residual emissions to reach NZ

• BECCS and DAC may combine to remove about 2 Gt CO2/yr of residual emissions in 2050
