The project is designed to burn wood pellets sourced from well-managed forests to generate power and then capture emissions and transport them to geological storage sites under the North Sea, resulting in negative emissions. Today's report from Ember is unequivocal that BECCS plants carry the risk of becoming net emitters of carbon.

wide transmission build-out could also slash the costs of reaching a zero-carbon grid with wind, solar and battery technologies that are cost-effective today. All of these benefits can be captured with solar, wind, existing hydropower and lithium-ion battery technologies at projected 2030 prices, he added. transmission grid.

Beginning in 1958, these were augmented by nuclear power plants, which have operated nearly continuously to pay off their large capital investments. Unlike coal and nuclear, solar and wind are variable; they provide power only when the sun and wind are available. Innovations that make 100% clean power possible.
