  1. 6. Investigation of the absorption solvent for bioenergy carbon capture and storage (BECCS) through pilot plant trials

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Tejas Latha Karthikeyan; [2020]
    Keywords : Carbon capture; BECCS; absorption; potassium carbonate systems; CHP plant; Koldioxidinfångning; BECCS; absorption; kaliumkarbonatsystem; CHP-anläggning;

    Abstract : Att begränsa globala uppvärmningen till 1,5°C kommer kräva negativa koldioxidutsläpp. En metod för att generera negativa koldioxidutsläpp är så kallad Bio-Energy Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS). READ MORE

  3. 7. Climate Footprint on Transportation and Storage of Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Jennifer Erlandsson; Fredrik Tannoury; [2020]
    Keywords : BECCS; CCS; LCA; energy use; leakage; BECCS; CCS; LCA; energi användning; läckage;

    Abstract : In order to combat climate change there is a need to achieve negative emissions. Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a promising technology that offers the possibility to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the atmosphere. However, this also implies that the BECCS process needs to store more CO2 than it emits. READ MORE

  4. 8. Evaluation of ignition and self-heating risks in bio-char storage by numerical simulation

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Energivetenskap

    Author : Nils Johnson; [2020]
    Keywords : Bio-char; Ignition; Heating; Numerical model;

    Abstract : The move from fossil fuels is getting more relevant throughout the globe, mainly for it getting more costly to emit CO$_2$. The steel industry is one of the biggest contributor of the CO$_2$ emissions, and is therefore very motivated to reduce their emissions. One way to reduce the emissions is to go from coal to bio-char as a reducing agent. READ MORE

  5. 9. The inclusion of Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) in Integrated Assessment Models: Assessing legitimacy within published climate discourses

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Guy Finkill; [2019]
    Keywords : BECCS; Discourse; Governance; IAMs; Legitimacy; Sustainable Development.;

    Abstract : This thesis assesses the discourses identified in the literature that is critical to BECCS and its inclusion in IAMs used in the construction of RCP2.6 through a Foucauldian inspired discourse analysis. READ MORE

  6. 10. The role of bioenergy for achieving a fossil fuel free Stockholm by 2040

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Linnea Dittrich; Sofia Lillieroth; [2019]
    Keywords : Bioenergy; Fossil-free Stockholm; Bioenergy carbon capture and storage BECCS ; Negative emissions; Biochar.;

    Abstract : Bioenergy is extracted from biomass. What counts as biomass is generally quite diverse, but broadly speaking, it is material that previously lived. Today, energy extracted from biofuels make up around 23% of Stockholm city's total energy consumption. Stockholm city has set a goal to be a fossil-free city by 2040, i. READ MORE
