Traditional BECCS - Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage
BECCS to the Future, Marc von Keitz
Coal Burning
Power Plant
Energy Challenges:
• Feedstock supply
(Land & freshwater availability)
• Logistics of solid biofuels
• Reliance on coal-fired power
plants
• CO2 storage

Path to Gigaton Scaling
• Process: technically scalable
• Feedstock supply: reliable & sustainable (without compromising food & feed)
• Speed to scale: multiple Gt in < 30 years
• Financeable: minimizing risk of stranded assets
