Abstract
This report explores the potential role for bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) in the UK’s pathway to net-zero by 2050, and the implications for sustainability and policy. It analyses five scenarios of the future that include different assumptions about biomass availability, the rate of progress with greenhouse gas removals via BECCS and direct air capture, and demand for energy and other resources. The sustainability of the use of biomass in these scenarios is assessed, alongside the extent to which BECCS can deliver removals. The report also considers the implications of our analysis for government policies and regulations.
