The BECCS system will be installed at FS' Lucas do Rio Verde plant.

Key Points: 
  • The BECCS system will be installed at FS' Lucas do Rio Verde plant.
  • By implementing the BECCS system, the Company will be the first biorefinery globally to have a negative carbon footprint.
  • The adoption of the BECCS system is part of a set of actions established by FS in the Company's six long-term commitments ( FS 2030 Sustainability Commitment ).
  • Thus, FS reuses the waste generated by the production process and post-consumer waste and reduces raw material consumption.

Simultaneously, scientists and experts are studying how redefining the traditional concept of home environments may lead to a low-carbon economy .

Key Points: 
  • Simultaneously, scientists and experts are studying how redefining the traditional concept of home environments may lead to a low-carbon economy .
  • We have an opportunity like never before to adopt a new way of thinking and living, said Michael Klement, AIA, Principal of Architectural Resource, the firm that designed the acclaimed Burh Becc at Beacon Springs .
  • Klement noted that all of their calls in the last month have been inquiries about how homes can become safe sanctuaries for living, playing, working, and learning.
  • To earn Living certification, Burh Becc demonstrated compliance with stringent performance standards dictated by the 20 Living Building Challenge Imperatives for 12 consecutive months of operation.

Among Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) techniques, these models assume that Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) could play a prominent role.

Key Points: 
  • Among Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) techniques, these models assume that Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) could play a prominent role.
  • This POSTnote summarises why BECCS has been included in the models, outlines the challenges and trade-offs of deploying at scale, and considers policy options for supporting its development.
  • There area number ofpotential challenges associated with the widespread use of BECCS, primarily around scale and land availability.
  • Suggested UK policy approaches to supporting BECCS development could include integrating BECCS into carbon markets such as the EU ETS, supporting pilot and demonstration schemes, and investing in CCS infrastructures.
