How could carbon capture transform British industry?

A new report commissioned by Liquid Gas UK, has found that gasifying waste-based feedstocks, such as municipal solid waste (MSW), to produce biogases is an effective method to decarbonise properties that are not connected to the gas network https://lnkd.in/eBqaGQmS

Future Biogas Policy Lead, Dr Nick Primmer recently presented as part of a webinar organised by BiogasWorld discussing the opportunities and challenges of the UK biogas and biomethane market. Nick’s talk covered the current status quo of UK gas demand and usage, how that demand can be reduced and how the remaining unavoidable gas demand can be replaced by high quality biomethane. Looking at the biogas industry today, 6-7 TWh of biomethane is being produced from around 120 operational plants. An additional 10TWh is being used to generate electricity. In the future, it is predicted that 100+ TWh could be generated from a variety of different feedstocks. At this scale, biomethane would make a material difference to the UK’s gas sector, potentially fulfilling its unavoidable gas demand (95-260 TWh) in its entirety. However, in policy terms, the emphasis has historically been placed on waste feedstocks. At Future Biogas, we believe in the opportunity to also help decarbonise agriculture with break crops grown using regenerative farming practices to provide another important feedstock for AD. Nick goes on to discuss the unsubsidised business model underpinning our new generation of AD plants, which break away from taxpayer funding through government subsidy – and therefore demonstrate true additionality in terms of carbon savings to potential gas off-takers.

📢 CCSA statement on the role of BECCS in achieving net zero ❗For the UK to meet its net zero targets, negative emissions technologies like BECCS (Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage) are essential. BECCS helps remove residual CO₂ emissions from the atmosphere while supporting energy security. ❗The world is not on track to limit global warming to 1.5°C, with significant risks of overshooting this target. BECCS will play a critical role in addressing these residual emissions and supporting the UK's ambitions for engineered greenhouse gas removals by 2030 and beyond. 👇 See below for the full CCSA statement on the importance of BECCS in tackling climate change and delivering on the UK’s climate targets. #CCUS | #CarbonCapture | #NetZero | #BECCS

The UK Bioresources Strategy is an initiative aimed at developing a comprehensive and sustainable framework for managing bioresources, specifically focusing on the solids extracted from wastewater treatment, known as biosolids. This strategy is driven by the need to address environmental impacts, regulatory requirements, and sustainability goals such as achieving Net Zero Carbon and supporting the circular economy.

Our recent webinar with MRW - Material Recycling World attracted a stellar turnout as we discussed the implications of bringing Energy from Waste under the Emissions Trading Scheme. These changes will come into force in 2028 and have been described by the Environmental Services Association as 'the most significant regulatory intervention to the UK waste industry in a generation.'

The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) Authority has just published a package of consultations on expanding the UK ETS to include the energy from waste and waste incineration sectors.   The ETS is a key part of the UK’s approach to addressing climate change. It requires operators under the scheme to obtain allowances for every unit of carbon they emit. These allowances can be traded between participants, generating a carbon price that spurs businesses to invest in cleaner or renewable energy sources and improved energy efficiency.      The UK ETS currently applies to the aviation, power, and industry sectors, but since its establishment in 2021 the Authority has been examining how carbon pricing can drive decarbonisation across more of the economy AMCS Group AMCS (formerly Quentic) #ukets #ghgemissions #ghgreductions #csrd #carbonpricing #decarbonization #waste #wasteincineration #amcs

Direct Air Carbon Capture & Storage (DACCS) - A government-funded report cautions that the UK must allocate up to £30 billion towards establishing a network of large-scale air purification systems aimed at extracting CO2 from the atmosphere to achieve net zero emissions. These 'direct air carbon capture systems' would have the capacity to extract up to 48 million tonnes of CO2 annually, subsequently injecting it into decommissioned oil and gas reservoirs beneath the North Sea or Irish Sea. The report, authored by Energy Systems Catapult (a government-backed organisation fostering innovation) asserts that without such an initiative, the UK will fail to meet its goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
