🌲 #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 👇

🔎Is it even possible?
💡#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.
Live at #EBF2025 🌿
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.”

“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…”
