Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of biomass energy with CO 2 capture and storage (BECS) in industrial applications. Sugar cane-based ethanol mills and chemical pulp mills are identified as market niches with promising prospects for BECS. Calculations of CO 2 balances of BECS in these applications show that the introduction of CO 2 capture and storage in biomass energy systems can significantly increase the systems’ CO 2 abatement potentials. CO 2 emissions of the total systems are negative. The CO 2 reduction potentials of these technologies are discussed in regional and global contexts. An economic assessment of each system is carried out and opportunities for cost-effective technologies for CO 2 capture, transportation and storage are identified. Furthermore, potentials for system improvements that could substantially decrease the CO 2 abatement cost are addressed.
