![]() “Capturing CO 2 from biomass combustion allows a plant to generate energy and be a net-negative emitter of greenhouse gases. “BECCS projects hold tremendous potential in helping the world achieve a goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050,” says Joe Buckler, senior vice president, clean energy for Babcock and Wilcox. ![]() The CO 2 generated by the plant would be captured using Babcock and Wilcox’s SolveBright post-combustion CO 2 scrubbing process, which provides flexibility in the regenerable solvent used to isolate CO 2 for sequestration or utilization, according to the company. The plant is jointly owned by NorthStar Clean Energy (a subsidiary of Jackson-based CMS Energy Corp.) and Houston-based Tondu Corp. Babcock and Wilcox will manage construction and the mechanical scope of the study and commercial phase. The study is the first phase of a commercial-scale project partially funded by the U.S.
