“…The connection between BECCS and CCS is still obscure. BECCS is already established on solid knowledge foundations and will benefit from the further diffusion of CCS and from the fact that some CCS demonstration projects will perform BECCS [30,31]. However, policy measures to reduce the risk that CCS obstructs BECCS progress will be essential [30,33].…”

“…One of the main problems for BECCS demonstration is scale [26,31,32,37]. CO2 flows are expected to be of a smaller scale, as compared to those used in commercial fossil fuel power plants, raising both capture and transportation costs.…”

“…In fact, lack of infrastructure could become the most crucial economic obstacle to dedicated BECCS unless located near a storage site, landing point or existing large point source equipped with CCS. [29,31]. The suitability of BECCS will differ across countries; some of them will be more well-suited to extensive BECCS applications than others [26,27,[29][30][31][32], as there are many potential obstacles for large scale implementation [29][30][31].…”

“…infrastructure with CO 2 storage sites and the current controversial scenarios of global bioenergy potential [29]. On the other hand, economies of scale could increase the transport and storage costs from larger fossil or co-fired plants, compared to smaller-scale biomass plants [29,31,37]. Once a CO 2 transport and storage system is developed, there may be the potential to set up smaller-scale bioenergy power plants with capture adjoining to the large CCS stations [26,29,31].…”

Abstract:Assessing the performance or the implications of climate change mitigation options (CCMOs) is instrumental in achieving research and innovation efficiency in the field of climate change and becomes more imperative considering the Paris Agreement ('the Agreement'). Many climate scientists already believe that meeting the Agreement's goals and stabilizing "well-below 2 • C above pre-industrial levels" signals the deployment of currently undetermined and contentious mitigation technologies, such as bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). BECCS is considered one of the most promising negative emissions technologies (NETs) with many scenarios already exhibiting its mitigation potential. However, stakeholders and policymakers remain skeptical about widespread reliance on BECCS questioning its unproven credibility. In this article, we aim at identifying research priorities and assessment needs to intensify the further deployment of BECCS, considering relevant technology associations' and platforms' perspectives and insights raised by scientific literature. The main outcome of our study is a list of 10 research priorities along with more specific assessment needs for each priority area. We also focus attention on several implications for potential end-users involved in the field of policy and practice. Overall, our work seeks to bridge the gap between market/industry and academia and to assist policymakers to make better-informed decisions.

“…Environmental and economic studies focus on its application in the electricity and heating sectors (Carpentieri et al, 2005;Rhodes 2007;Uddin and Barreto 2007) and the biofuel sector (Kheshgi and Prince, 2005;Westermark, 2008, 2009;Laude et al, 2010;Mathews, 2008;Möllersten et al, 2003). Considering that CO 2 from biomass is neutral, BECCS can contribute to a net removal of atmospheric CO 2 .…”

Providing adequate economic incentives for bioenergies with CO2 capture and geological storage

Knowing that carbon capture and storage (CCS) could play an important role in reducing CO2 emissions, it is important to have a good understanding of this role and the importance of environmental policies to support carbon capture and geological storage from bioenergies (BECCS). To date CCS technologies are not deployed on a commercial level, and policy instruments should be used to provide incentives to firms to use these technologies to reduce pollution. The aim of this paper is to compare the cost-efficiency of several incentive-based instruments (a fossil fuel tax, an emissions tax, a cap and trade system that recognize negative emissions, and a subsidy on captured emissions) needed to spur the adoption of CCS of the emissions from fossil fuel as well as from biomass, using a dynamic general equilibrium model. The study shows that BECCS will be deployed only if a specific subsidy per unit of biomass emissions captured with a CCS technology is available. We show also that the two most cost-efficient instruments for achieving a given emissions reduction target are a specific subsidy that rewards captured emissions and a carbon tax whose revenues are recycled to subsidize BECCS. Keywords:Bioenergies with carbon capture and storage, dynamic computable general equilibrium model, policy instruments efficiency. RésuméLa capture et le stockage du carbone (CCS) à un rôle important à jouer dans la réduction des émissions de CO2. Elle peut s'appliquer aux énergies fossiles et aux bioénergies (BECCS). A l'heure actuelle, ces technologies ne sont pas encore au stade de la commercialisation. Il existe donc une nécessité de mettre en place des incitations économiques claires et crédibles pour faciliter leur développement. L'objectif de ce papier est de comparer l'efficacité-économique de plusieurs instruments économiques (une taxe fossile, une taxe sur les émissions, un système de permis négociable qui reconnait les émissions négatives et une subvention à la capture des émissions) capables de stimuler le CCS et le BECCS. Cette analyse est conduite grâce à un modèle dynamique d'équilibre général calculable. Les résultats montrent que la technologie BECCS, compte tenu de sa singularité, sera développée uniquement si une subvention à la capture des émissions issues de la biomasse est mise en place. De plus, les deux instruments les plus efficace-économiquement pour atteindre un niveau donné de réduction d'émissions sont la subvention à la capture des émissions et la taxe carbone dont les revenus sont recyclés sous forme de subvention au BECCS. Mots-clés :Capture et Stockage du Carbone, bioénergies, modèle d'équilibre général calculable, efficacité-économique, incitation-économique.3
