Spatially explicit analysis identifies significant potential for bioenergy with carbon capture and storage in China

X. Xing, R. Wang, et al.

This research reveals an astounding potential of 222 GW capacity for decarbonizing China's power sector using bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). Conducted by a team of experts including Xiaofan Xing and Rong Wang, the study tackles the challenges and uncertainties surrounding economic costs and emissions associated with co-firing biomass from agricultural and forestry residues.

Abstract
This research uses a spatially explicit approach to assess the potential and cost of using bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) to decarbonize China's power sector. The study finds significant potential (222 GW of capacity) by co-firing biomass from agricultural and forestry residues, but also highlights logistical challenges and uncertainties related to economic costs and emissions.
