Novel processes for enhancing biomass conversion to bioenergy
Towards Negative Emissions: Capturing CO2 from Biomass Combustion
Short Introductive summary
Achieving climate neutrality requires not only reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also developing solutions capable of delivering negative emissions. Capturing CO2 from biomass combustion represents a key opportunity to remove carbon from the atmosphere while producing renewable energy. This presentation focuses on the potential of coupling biomass-fired systems with commercially available technologies for CO2 capture. The talk will review the main capture processes ready for the market, and integration challenges. Particular attention will be given to the advantages and limitations of these solutions, highlighting how their deployment can pave the way towards large-scale Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) implementation and contribute to achieving a carbon-negative energy future.
