Multilevel Assessment of Bio-based CDR Options - Towards a Sustainable Implementation of Integrated BECCS Concepts in Germany
Short Introductive summary
Biomass is a multifunctional material serving many purposes. Among other things, biomass and biogenic CO2 play a strategically important role for carbon dioxide removal (CDR). (Bio-based) CDR options are a current political issue. Our research takes place within a tense atmosphere of contrary assumptions. With our research, we provide concept and region specific potentials of bio-based CDR options and systematically identify trade-offs and synergies between different bio-based CDR options. Among other things, we can show bio-based CDRs are urgently needed, but that there are also many local problems. Furthermore, we will have novel modelling results that will support the implementation of bio-based CDR options, considering not only techno-economic aspects but also considering different barriers and obstacles, which need to be removed for a regional energy landscape with bio-based CDR. Our work makes a crucial and comprehensive contribution to research as we analyse a wide range of options for CO2removal through biomass and support sustainable implementation of bio-based CDR options within biomass strategies and policies.

Presenter's biography
Daniela Thrän is a graduate Diplom-Engineer for environmental technologies from the Technical University of Berlin and did her PhD at the University of Weimar. Her doctoral-thesis dealt with "Material Flow Account in rural areas". Since 2011 she holds the professorial chair bioenergy systems at the Institute for Infrastructure and Resources Management, University of Leipzig. Further she is responsible for the coordination and management of national and international research projects for governmental, industrial and non-governmental organisations in her leadership role as head of the department bioenergy systems at DBFZ and the department bioenergy at UFZ. Her work focuses on resource analysis on biomass, standardisation of solid biofuels, assessment of biomass technologies and trade, sustainability aspects and system integration of biomass and bioenergy, and development of market implementation strategies and support schemes for bioenergy. Furthermore she is member of working groups at ISO, CEN, VDI, DIN and European technology platform for biofuels. She has a long term work experience with over 100 publications in the biomass field.
