In a new policy brief, SFL-affiliated researchers Kenneth Möllersten and Lars Zetterberg at IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute present the financial challenge to scale bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), including by selling credits to voluntary carbon markets. The policy brief is commented upon by Tomas Tyblad, Vice President and Head of ESG Solutions, European markets at Nasdaq.
The policy brief describes the Swedish context for BECCS deployment. The main part discusses different policy models to incentivize BECCS and takes a deep dive into opportunities and challenges related to supporting BECCS development by taking advantage of the potential leverage of Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM).
