Biorecro Featured in Startup Basecamp
March 13, 2023 Biorecro was featured in The Climate Tech Startups to Watch series by Startup Basecamp this week. The monthly series highlights up-and-coming startups leading the effort against climate change. As a project developer for carbon removal, Biorecro prioritizes removing carbon emissions in a way that is both energy and cost-efficient. Through BECCS technology […]
The Difference Between CCS, Bioenergy, and BECCS
There are several negative emission technologies (NETs) that utilize different strategies to return CO2 back to geologic reservoirs and terrestrial ecosystems. BECCS (Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage) technology is one of them. However, when discussing carbon emission mitigation, traditional CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) can sometimes be mistaken as carbon removal. While both methods […]
What You Should Know About the Carbon Cycle
Carbon is one of the main building blocks for life on Earth. It’s the element from which proteins and DNA are formed, and every living organism depends on it to survive. Carbon provides balance to all ecosystems and without that balance, life would not be able to sustain itself. While the amount of carbon […]
Biorecro and Söderenergi are Breaking New Ground with BECCS
Carbon removal with Bioenergy with Carbon Capture & Strorage (BECCS) is an essential method for restoring the Earth’s atmosphere and the Biorecro team has worked diligently to implement BECCS projects at various facilities. The IPCC AR6 Working Group III report states, “in modeled pathways that report CDR and that limit warming to 1.5°C (>50%) with […]
Swedish Government Commits $3.3 Billion to BECCS Investment
The Swedish government announced state support for BECCS (Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture & Storage) technology with an investment of SEK 36 billion, the equivalent to 3.3 billion USD. The decision comes in response to the national goal of zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. Along with efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Sweden recognizes […]
Biorecro Featured in Green Voices of Nasdaq Nordic
The climate science is clear. It’s not enough to simply transition to clean energy. We need to actively remove carbon from the atmosphere at gigatonne scale. Biorecro partnered with Puro.earth and Nasdaq in the Green Voices of Nasdaq Nordic video series to discuss our process for Bioenergy with Carbon Capture & Storage (BECCS) project development, bringing verifiable carbon […]
One Step Closer Towards BECCS at Igelsta
During the 2021-2022 winter season, Biorecro led a feasibility study for a BECCS facility at the Igelsta CHP-plant in Södertälje. The promising results led the Swedish Energy Agency to grant Biorecro funding to continue developing the project. Together with the heat and power company, Söderenergi, Biorecro will further build planns for BECCS at the Igelsta plant. “It […]
New Project Funded by Vinnova
The Swedish Innovation Agency has decided to support a project lead by Biorecro with 1 million SEK. Together with our partners, RISE Research Institute of Sweden and Söderenergi, we will work towards the common goal: creating a method for potential producers to prove their process is actually achieving negative emissions. The method will be tested […]
Negative Emissions CONVERGE
October 18 2021 Stockholm, Sweden: Today, Biorecro officially launched the negative emissions task in the CONVERGE project. Led by Biorecro, the task aims to explore the valorisation of negative emissions via BECCS based on green biodiesel production. Along side our partners, Biorecro will research the supply chain, life cycle, and business case of negative emissions […]
Report on BECCS at Igelsta Published
It’s a wrap! The pre-study of BECCS at Igelsta is now published and available on www.energimyndigheten.se. Biorecro and partner Söderenergi showed that the potential for negative emissions at the Igelsta plant could be as much as 800 000 tons per year. The study also showed that building BECCS at this site is crucial for the possibilities […]
