This poster on the UKCCSRC Call 1 project Bio-CAP-UK: Air/oxy biomass combustion with CO2 capture technology was presented at the CSLF Call project poster reception, London, 27.06.16. Grant number: UKCCSRC-C1-38. Bio-CCS - bioenergy with carbon capture and storage - has the ability to achieve potential net negative CO2 emissions, vital for meeting legally binding and increasingly stringent emission targets and carbon budgets. Bio-CCS has a large and distinct potential for significantly lowering CO2 emissions from energy production; thus the key messages from this programme will have clear policy implications on decarbonisation strategies. The Bio-CAP-UK project aims to accelerate progress towards achieving operational excellence for flexible, efficient and environmentally sustainable bio-CCS thermal power plants by developing and assessing fundamental knowledge. This is being achieved through extensive multi-scale experimental work, including bench and pilot-plant tests, combined with system simulations, techno-economic analysis and life cycle studies. The programme focuses on comparing air-firing coupled with post-combustion carbon capture to oxy-fuel combustion.
