Researchers from University of California at Berkeley are currently exploring the possibility to combine energy production from biomass with carbon capture and sequestration techniques (BECCS). Their initial findings indicate that this is […]

In the large-scale deployment of CCS, carbon dioxide emissions from sources like fossil-fuel power plants […]
