This report explores the potential role for bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) in the UK’s pathway to net-zero by 2050, and the implications for sustainability and policy. It concludes that BECCS could make a significant contribution to meeting net-zero. However, there are important risks that need to be taken into account – particularly risks to timely deployment and risks to the sustainability of bioenergy supply chains.
