Biomass with Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS)

BiCRS (Biomass with Carbon Removal and Storage) prioritizes carbon removal and storage, aiming to capture CO₂ from biomass use and store it in long-term sinks, with energy generation as a secondary goal. This could be underground or in stable, long-lived products such as biochar or concrete. It differs from Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) in that the primary focus of BiCRS is carbon removal rather than energy production. It also aims to contribute positively to local communities and biodiversity and minimize the harmful social and environmental impacts that BECCS can sometimes drive.
