N2 - In terms of climate mitigation options, the theoretical potential of biomass energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is substantial; introducing the prospect of negative emissions, it offers the vision of drawing atmospheric CO 2 concentrations back down to pre-industrial levels. This paper reviews issues raised at a workshop on BECCS, convened in Scotland in late 2009. Presentations by bioenergy and CCS specialists covered topics including the climate policy rationale for BECCS, global biomass CCS potential, the UK potential for BECCS, the risk of fossil fuel lock-in via coal co-fi ring, and carbon market issues. In practice, the scale of the forestry and accessible CCS infrastructure required are among the obstacles to the large-scale deployment of BECCS in the near term.
