How to Remove Carbon Emissions and Generate Power
Introduction What makes Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) a promising option for removing carbon emissions at scale? One of the biggest draws is its ability to be integrated into industries that emit biogenic CO2. The capture and storage of carbon originating from biomass makes this process completely net negative, meaning facilities that integrate […]
US Department of Energy Gives $27 Million for Carbon Transport
On September 15, 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) made an announcement, unveiling a funding initiative of up to $27 million. This funding is specifically reserved for the transportation of carbon dioxide emissions captured from industrial facilities, marking another pivotal step in the endeavor to combat climate […]
Climate Solutions from an Environmental Strategist
In Biorecro’s new initiative, we are launching a series of interviews with experts in various corners of the climate industry. These conversations serve a dual purpose: to obtain their unique perspectives and to illuminate the ongoing efforts in finding climate solutions. Executing effective climate solutions is not a one-person task. Climate policy implementation involves a meticulous […]
BECCS Requirements Outlined by the IPCC
What does the IPCC say about BECCS? The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is an organization tasked with understanding how human activity has impacted the climate and determining best practices to restore a healthy and balanced global climate. The IPCC has three working groups and each group focuses on a particular issue related to […]
Pulp and Paper Mills as Hubs for Carbon Removal
Removing Emissions with Pulp and Paper Mills As a BECCS project developer, Biorecro partners with industrial facilities to deploy BECCS operations at the facility site. Potential facilities fit for BECCS (Bioenergy with Carbon Capture & Storage) include but are not limited to, combined heat and power (CHP) plants, bioethanol plants, biogas plants, or pulp and […]
The IPCC Assessment Report Explained
The Origin of the IPCC What is often regarded as the world’s largest peer-reviewed process, has only been in operation for 35 years. In 1988, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In the last 35 years of its operation, the IPCC […]
Fast Action Needed to Prevent Reaching a 1.5 C Increase
The World Meteorological Organization announced that the planet may soon pass the 1.5-degree threshold in the next five years. The conclusion was made after observing the amount of heat-trapping pollution in the atmosphere and an upcoming El Niño. Shared in the WMO’s annual climate update, the prediction stated there is a 66% probability that Earth […]
Infrastructure Startups – The Future of Climate Impact
What is Climate Infrastructure? Climate infrastructure involves the development of physical structures and systems that are designed to combat or mitigate the effects of climate change. There are various industries that use climate infrastructure to either improve upon existing systems or create new systems that will ultimately lead to greater sustainability or climate resilience. Infrastructure […]
A Guide to Understanding BECCS
Overview Understanding BECCS Technology The BECCS Logistics Chain Minimizing Waste with BECCS Operating with Existing Infrastructure Security Against CO2 Leaks Energy Cost What BECCS Looks Like in the Future Takeaways The Fundamentals of BECCS There has been a growing urgency to address climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions need to be drastically reduced, but this alone […]
Incentives and Legislation for CCS Technology
Efforts to incentivize Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology have been seen across the globe. Along with the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act in the United States, other countries are making similar moves to incentivize companies to step into carbon capture development. The Inflation Reduction Act Impact In the United States, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) […]
