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.
