In this webinar recording, heat and energy decarbonisation experts from Ricardo, ADE and Drax discuss BECCS and the deep decarbonisation of industrial sites with combined heat and power (CHP). We look at:
-
The role of BECCS in achieving net zero targets in the UK – Government policy and strategy
-
The challenges facing the decarbonisation of industrial CHP sites
-
The role of BECCS in decarbonising industrial CHP sites
We also address questions submitted from attendees including:
- How long does it take to build a facility to deploy BECCS?
- Will biogenic CO₂ also be used in green fuels like green methanol?
- Where will all the sustainable biomass come from? Is it feasible to sustainably resource volumes of biomass required to achieve for 50Mt CO₂ pa removal by 2050?
- Can we hear more about Net Zero please?
- Can bioprocessing be integrated within the biomass process?
- What is the EU potential for BECCS - 800 Mt or 80 Mt?
- What is the suitability of small scale CHP engines (1-2MW) within industrial estates for efficient energy use?
- Very interested in wood to biochar, what species of wood would be sourced and from what country?
- In the combustion phase, high moisture content biomass lead to low efficiency. How would we overcome this challenge as drying biomass is by itself energy intense?
- You mentioned there is high amount of low temperature heat after BECCS. What is the temperature of this heat?
