I would think that the co-benefits from ERW & BioCCS via biochar as soil amendments and the fact that BECCS power plants can provide firm, clean electricity would be major selling points to help garner public support for them.

Also significant was the role of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), which they call bioCCS or BECS!

Yeah I agree. I know a big fermentation plant in central Europe who spent years listening to RFNBO developers talking up efuels but couldn’t make a business case even with a free stream of pure bioCO2. They’re now doing bioCCS themselves and full chain costs are like €50-60/t.

If we can only scale up sequestration to a couple of hundred Mtpa by 2050, bioCCS will not be sufficient to offset all aviation, shipping, etc. This will then manifest in scarcity pricing for the sequestration, like we see today for the Northern Lights project in Norway.

James this article is a little disappointing. Which of the big BECCS / bioCCS offtakes are "harvesting wood?" All that I can think of MSFT or Frontier buying are using residues as feedstock. This balance is not reflected in how you've presented the "objections" to BECCS.

I can understand the frustration that geologic sequestration has been awarded access to this funding pool whereas biochar has not been, but biochar has it's own source of income on its own right so I'm fine with this.

European Commission Limits EU CDR Procurement Strategy to Large-Scale Industrial BioCCS
The European Commission’s proposed 250 million–tonne carbon removal procurement framework limits eligibility to industrial BioCCS and DACCS, excluding biochar. This centralized strategy risks marginalizing rural biomass operators, creating significant regional infrastructure disparities, and facing multi-billion-euro funding shortfalls across European carbon compliance markets.
