Prestudy with Agroetanol
Biorecro has performed a carbon sequestration prestudy for Swedens largest bioethanol producer, Agroetanol. This exploratory work is a first step towards the first carbon negative bioethanol production plant in Sweden and Europe, producing fuel which removes CO2 from the atmosphere. Dr. Timur Delahaye lead the technical aspects of the work and says It is very […]
New, enhanced 45Q tax credit
The recently passed US Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 provides new rules for the 45Q tax credit for carbon sequestration. Biorecro CEO Henrik Karlsson comments on the bill We are excited about the vast potential for carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects that has been unlocked by the new enhanced 45Q tax credit. It enables […]
