Management of Biogenic CO2: BECCUS Inter-task Phase 2
Within IEA Bioenergy TCP the topic of Bioenergy Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (BECCUS) is investigated with the involvement of many working Groups (Tasks), in an integral project of strategic relevance. In the years 2019-2021 the ‘Deployment of BECCUS value chains’-project was executed to understand the opportunities for, and obstacles to, deployment of BECCUS in different sectors. The project focused on determining factors for successful deployment, such as technology readiness levels, business model validities and designs of policy and regulatory framework.
In the second phase, the ‘BECCUS 2’-project is more diverse in scope, with stronger emphasis on cross-sector and cross-country learning about the implementation of BECCUS projects , using different energy conversion processes. The project also explores the effects of integrating BECCUSS facilities and systems within the overall energy system and, last but not least assesses the important differences between utilisation of captured carbon and storage of capture carbon.
This project aims to facilitate cross-sector learning on bioenergy carbon capture, utilisation and storage; shed light on (bio)energy system integration of BECCUS; and address CO2 mitigation potential of bio-CCUS. It will allow for a more systemic consideration of how to take different BECCUS applications to deployment, thereby building upon, but going beyond, the main findings of the BECCUS Phase 1 project.

Synergies of Green Hydrogen and Bio-Based Value Chains Deployment
The objective of the strategic project ‘Synergies of Green Hydrogen and Biobased Value Chains’ is to identify and assess synergies in the deployment of green hydrogen and bio-based value chains that can enhance the use of both energy carriers and the energy system under different conditions. The focus will be on value chains directly linked to bioenergy, i.e., biomass as a source of hydrogen and bio-based processes consuming electrolytic hydrogen. The project aims to identify the most promising value chains, quantify their benefits and barriers, and to provide synthesised insights on how hydrogen-bioenergy combinations can support future climate neutral energy systems. Ten out of eleven IEA Bioenergy Tasks, together with the IEA Hydrogen TCP have collaborated in this 2022-2024 project.

Deployment perspective of green hydrogen from biomass and green hydrogen use in bio-based processes
As part of the IEA Bioenergy inter-task project (ITP) on “Synergies of green hydrogen and biobased value chains deployment” an expert workshop with the focus on the deployment perspective of green hydrogen from biomass and green hydrogen use in bio-based processes. The objective is 1) to describe possible value chains combining hydrogen production (feedstocks, technologies, products) and deployment of hydrogen and bio-based processes (feedstock, technologies, products) for different bio-based end-products, and 2) based on this to discuss as well as agree on terminology, key process data and definitions on criteria, indicators and boundaries, and an assessment framework as project scoping activity.
The workshop has been organized by IEA Bioenergy Task 40 “Deployment of biobased value chains” in collaboration with 9 other IEA Bioenergy Tasks. This workshop belongs to work package 1 of this inter-task project which deals with the status quo of synergy value chains. The overall inter-task project is coordinated by IEA Bioenergy Task 44 “Flexible bioenergy and system integration”.
