Mistra Carbon Exit seminar dedicated to Bio-CCS

This week a well-attended lunch seminar about Bio-CCS was organised by Mistra Carbon Exit in Stockholm. The aim of the seminar was to discuss the future challenges and possibilities with Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (Bio-CCS or BECCS), both its technical and policy aspects.

Bio-energy with Carbon Capture and Storage is the process of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by growing biomass, extracting energy in a thermal process and then capturing and storing the carbon dioxide. Many scientists, from Mistra Carbon Exit included, argue that this method together with other options for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is absolutely necessary to reach the 1.5-degree target.

Please find all the presentations below.

The speakers were:

• Sabine Fuss, Jubilee Professor at the Department of Space, Earth and Environment, Energy Technology at Chalmers University of Technology

• Fabian Levihn, Head of R&D at Stockholm Exergi, Research Fellow at the Royal Institute of Technology

• Kenneth Möllersten, PhD Industrial GHG mitigation and BECCS, IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute

• Filip Johnsson, Professor, Department of Space, Earth and Environment, Energy Technology, Chalmers University of Technology.

Lars Zetterberg from IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute and programme director for Mistra Carbon Exit moderated the session.
