BIOENERGY CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is the process of capturing and permanently storing CO2 from biomass energy.

The capture & storage of biogenic CO2

The capture and storage of biogenic CO2 on a large scale is relatively new, but companies have been injecting CO2 into water, oil and gas filled formations for almost five decades.

The CO2 by-product created at the proposed Ironstone Energy plant will be fed into the Northern Lights project. This is the world’s first open-source CO2 transport and storage facility.

Northern Lights was created to provide a safe and permanent storage option for CO2 removed from the atmosphere. Locking CO2 away like this will help combat climate change.
