Research by Oak Ridge National Laboratory examined the huge potential of BECCS to sequester carbon in the US'Utilise BECCS to meet future challenges'

摘要

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage(BECCS) could cost-effectively sequester hundreds of millions of tonnes of CO2 per year in the US,according to a recent study.Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory(ORNL) conducted analysis into BECCS to understand the potential of this method and what makes it a competitive solution for carbon management1.The study showed BECCS can sequester from 200 million tonnes per year of CO2 in the near-term to more than 700 million tonnes per year by 2040.
