IETA has published a Carbon Management Business Brief on Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) exploring how BECCS works, the carbon crediting process, current market activity, and the evolving policy landscape. It also examines the role of BECCS across voluntary and compliance carbon markets, highlighting key market trends, credit issuance, offtake agreements, and developments shaping future deployment.
BECCS is emerging as one of the leading engineered carbon dioxide removal (CDR) pathways, combining sustainable biomass with carbon capture and permanent geological storage to deliver durable, net-negative emissions while generating energy.
