Bioenergy with carbon capture.

Issue Interdependencies/antagonisms Stakeholders Suboptimal market equilibrium Policy recommendations in the literature Sources
1. Conversion to bioenergy (in the case of power plants) BECCS plants may substitute other energy options. BECCS plants need to be integrated into the electrical grid in the case of power plants.
  • BECCS plants

  • Other actors in the electricity market

Investment in bioenergy might lead to more emissions in the long run through the substitution of low-carbon renewable energy options NA [8]
If BECCS power plants are operated at higher load factors to increase negative emissions production, the differential cost between BECCS and alternative power options needs to be covered Direct government intervention [11, 80, 8890]
2. Cost reduction BECCS plants can build symbiotic relations with other technologies
  • BECCS plant

  • Negative Emissions technologies, District heating actors, etc.

NA
  • Subsidize R&D

  • International policy coordination
