“…There is a belief that public perceptions will indeed impact the success of bioCCS, with negative perceptions of CCS and/or biomass considered likely to stall the technology's uptake as well as increase transport and storage costs [83]. However, biomass and CCS in combination are expected to gain greater public support than the technologies might achieve individually [84]. Therefore, the bioCCS industry can benefit from the growing social science literature which reports on research in other energy and resources based contexts in regards to a SLO and public acceptance.…”

BioCCS is a technology gaining support as a possible emissions reduction policy option to address climate change. The process entails the capture, transport and storage of carbon dioxide produced during energy production from biomass. Globally, the most optimistic energy efficiency scenarios cannot avoid an average temperature increase of +2 °C without bioCCS. Although very much at the commencement stage, bioCCS demonstration projects can provide opportunity to garner knowledge, achieve consensus and build support around the technology's properties. Yet many challenges face the bioCCS industry, including no guarantee biomass will always be from sustainable sources or potentially result in carbon stock losses. The operating environment also has no or limited policies, regulations and legal frameworks, and risk and safety concerns abound. Some state the key problem for bioCCS is cultural, lacking in a 'community of support', awareness and credibility amongst its own key stakeholders and the wider public. Therefore, the industry can benefit from the growing social science literature, drawing upon other energy and resource based industries with regard to social choice for future energy options. To this end, the following scoping review was conducted in order to ascertain gaps in existing public perception and acceptance research focusing on bioCCS.

“…Regarding CO 2 transport, the biggest barriers are the technical feasibility and cost-effectiveness based on the transportation distance [40,43]. Transportation costs are determined based on whether existing pipelines can be re-used, or there is a need to construct new infrastructure, whether transport is onshore or offshore, whether there is a CO 2 transport network, or point to point transport is required [26,[29][30][31]44].…”

“…From an economical perspective, BIGCC-CCS and IGCC-CCS seem to be the most attractive routes [19,43]. Comparatively, biomethane production alternatives present an insignificant potential, with some limited interest in anaerobic digestion [18].…”

“…Furthermore, it is also easy for operators to switch from coal to biomass and it provides a reliable and constant level of electricity generation. Nevertheless, even if the efficiency of conversion processes will probably increase in the future, due to the introduction of enhanced steam cycles for dedicated biomass power plants, fossil-fired power plants are expected to be above them, since on-site pre-treatment and operation require a higher amount of energy, and also the feedstock presents lower heating values [43].…”

“…Thermochemical conversion processes-such as combustion and co-combustion of biomass with coal-are well-developed, including mature technologies (e.g., steam turbines and gas turbines), while other thermochemical paths, as pyrolysis, are less-developed, including emerging technologies (i.e., biomass integrated-gasifier/integrated gasification combined cycle, BIG/IGCC) [35,38]. Particularly, integrated biomass gasification combined cycle (BIGCC) is a promising conversion technology, especially suitable for CCS with a high capture rate [38,43]. Finally, another upcoming and promising option is the technology used to sugar cane-based energy, which converts part of the primary energy to ethanol via fermentation [39].…”

Striving towards the Deployment of Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS): A Review of Research Priorities and Assessment Needs

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.
