Gough, C. and P. Upham. Biomass Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS): a Review. Tyndall Working Paper n° 147, Dec 2010, 40 p.http://www.tyndall.ac.uk/sites/default/files/twp147.pdfThis is a review paper intended to provide an overview of debates  relating to BECCS or bio-CCS, which are alternative terms for the  coupling of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (CCS). In theory,  BECCS has the potential to help draw the atmospheric CO2 concentration  below present levels, or at least to contribute to its reduction. Yet  while BECCS enthusiasts have drawn support from scenarios of large scale  global bioenergy supply and the co-option of this into BECCS systems,  the assumptions of accessible CCS capture, pipeline and storage  infrastructure and that large scale bioenergy supply can be reconciled  with competing uses of land (and water) are both uncertain.
