Advancing Bioenergy Conversion with Digital Twins: Opportunities and Challenges in BECCS Integration
Short Introductive summary
The work “Advancing Bioenergy Conversion with Digital Twins: Opportunities and Challenges in BECCS Integration” explores how digital twins can enhance the efficiency and sustainability of bioenergy conversion systems, particularly when combined with Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS). These systems not only promote cleaner energy and improved waste management but also open pathways for carbon credit generation and regional development in remote areas such as the Amazon. The study performs a bibliometric review using the ProKnow-C methodology and the Web of Science database to assess the state of research on digital twins in bioenergy. Results indicate a substantial gap in the implementation of fully functional digital twins, underscoring the need for further advances in autonomous, data-driven modeling to achieve scalable and resilient BECCS-integrated bioenergy system
