Your window into Canada’s carbon removal sector

Plant materials like dead trees, crop leftovers, and agricultural waste naturally absorb CO₂ as they grow. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) means that instead of letting this organic matter rot and release that carbon back into the air, we can burn it to produce electricity, heat, or fuel.

Normally, burning anything for energy adds CO₂ to the atmosphere, however, we can use carbon capture technology to prevent new emissions. Given that these materials already pulled that carbon from the air when they were alive, and that any new emissions are captured in the process, generating energy with this method can actually result in net-negative emissions, meaning we're removing more CO₂ from the atmosphere than we're adding.

We can leverage Canada’s forestry and agricultural industries to keep the lights on, feed our families, and clean up the atmosphere.
