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) […]
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 […]
