🌲 #BigTech is betting on #BECCS to clean up its emissions — but the evidence tells a different story.
A @technologyreview.com investigation shows how shaky accounting & risky assumptions are being dressed up as #ClimateAction 👇

💡#Europe’s 2040 climate target requires 80 Mt of industrial #carbonremovals per year. Ambitious? Yes. Impossible? Not at all.

Drax cuts staff working on #BECCS, turns away from carbon capture: www.thetimes.com/article/6e5b... . As we've been saying for years, they don't have the technical know-how for it. However, Drax keeps doubling down on continuing to burn millions of tonnes of imported wood pellets nonetheless.

Many of the things subsidised on our bills by #ROC & #CfD are NOT #green! Things like #Drax, #BECCS, #CCS, #Nuclear and more. And don't start us on subsidy policy! Subsidies are needed for start up. If something cannot function without subsidies, it should not run unless it is a #PublicService! Cont
🇬🇧 Biomethane: a pivotal molecule for Industry 5.0
Europe is making steady progress, and the #biomethane production is growing at around 5% per year (+700 mcm/a).
🔄The benchmark cost for biomethane is approximately
€80/MWh, while natural gas (TTF + CO₂) costs around €50/MWh #REPowerEU #BECCS #CCUS
And the Whitehead review did not help. It basically pushed #BECCS hard and ducked the question of whether BECCS should be developed at Drax

3. Drax claims the new subsidy is a “bridge” to "carbon-negative" #BECCS — but that’s greenwash.
Even with CO2 capture, Drax would still emit 341–564 g CO₂e/kWh — as polluting as a gas plant.
Burning forests for power and calling it “carbon-neutral” is a dangerous myth.

Now: Mariano Ruiz Funes @elimini.bsky.social on scaling BECCS to help the EU reach its net-zero goals and deliver real carbon removals.
#BECCS #CarbonRemoval #EnergyTransition #EUclimate
Happening now in Brussels: debate hosted by MEP Peter Liese on how BECCS can deliver real carbon removals for Europe.
📊 Just 38% of existing bioenergy sites with BECCS = 80 Mt CO₂/yr, enough for the EU’s 2040 target.

Umm... yes AND no?
Yes! Cut levies that support #FalseSolutions like #CCS #Biomass #BECCS, etc.
No! Don't cut support for #Retrofit, #WarmHomes and #EnergyEfficiency which should benefit the poorest most! #JustTransition principles are really easy to apply here!

📢📢Bottom line: until GGR policy is decoupled from fossil and aviation interests, we’re not solving the problem — we’re subsidising it.

We can't be confident of scaling #BECCS. Can you imagine that millions more trees are felled every year and turned into #woodpellets, with #emissions rising as a result, and the finding that the #CCS doesn't work! That will happen if we persist with false solutions like BECCS and #biomass.
“Net Zero thus becomes a trap: if it succeeds, the price will be famine, water shortages & the immense destruction of our remaining ecosystems. If it doesn’t, global warming will spiral out of control.”

Will the government accept objective evidence to counter #CorporateInterests? Not on current experience.
“Vested interests tend to promote market models precisely because they can exert undue influence in markets. For businesses dependent on fossil fuels, delay is profitable…”
