Foreword
On the 17th March, the government
released its industrial decarbonisation strategy, which it believes will lead
the UK to becoming the ‘world’s first low-carbon industrial sector’. The
strategy establishes the framework under which the country’s industry is to
transition towards renewable energy, while promoting job opportunities and
ensuring that this new decarbonised market will remain competitive and
profitable for national businesses.
Bioenergy with carbon
capture and storage (BECCS) is one of the main technologies identified by the
government and industrial stakeholders to take the country closer to its 2050
net zero target. Through this process, CO2 being emitted by
industrial processes (such as biomass fired energy production for example), is
re-captured and trapped underground, therefore preventing atmospheric emissions
and greenhouse gas build-up...
