The soaring CO2 levels in the atmosphere caused by the anthropogenic emissions and the resulting climate changes are the most serious problems facing humanity. To reduce the CO2 emissions, various CO2 capture, utilization and storage technologies have been suggested till now. Among them, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) technologies are considered the most promising CO2 reduction technology due to its ability to deliver negative emissions by drawing down CO2, even including already emitted CO2, from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. In this presentation, the basic technological elements, recent developments and potential of BECCS technologies will be comprehensively reviewed with exemplifying practical BECCS facilities. Also, the challenges that limit and/or slow down the deployment of BECCS in real world will be dealt with at the same time. Therefore, this talk will promote the understanding on BECCS technologies as an emerging negative emission technology. |
