Here we see why Bio/CCUS regulation is so urgent.

Carbon capture is a necessary piece of the net-zero future. We need to build facilities, enabling infrastructure (including storage) as fast as possible. But we need to do it following existing regulatory structures. This story highlights the good work done by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in finding discrepancies in a storage application. Yes, we need permits to be issued faster but there is no room for application mistakes. There are numerous tools on the EPAs website for the application process to ensure as smooth a process as possible. https://lnkd.in/eNrRij22

We've updated our guidance on post-combustion carbon dioxide capture. The updated guidance covers post-combustion carbon dioxide plants that use amine-based technologies to capture CO2 from the flue gases of power and CHP plants fuelled by natural gas and biomass, and energy from waste plants The main updates include:   *Changing the title from ‘best available techniques’ to ‘emerging techniques’ *Adding additional content relating to carbon capture at energy from waste plants *Providing further clarification around expected CO2 capture rates *Improved some sections following industry feedback   Operators wishing to capture carbon dioxide from their combustion process in England will need an environmental permit from us. The updated guidance will help businesses to understand the regulatory requirements that need to be met before being granted a permit. The updated guidance can also be used by other organisations and members of the public who want to understand how the environmental regulations and standards are being applied. We expect operators to follow this guidance, or to propose an alternative approach to provide the same or greater level of protection for the environment.   The updated guidance can be accessed on GOV.UK here. https://lnkd.in/ep8JwF5E Well done to the #EATeam who worked on this, including John Barraclough MSc MIEMA CEnv, Bruce Bethune, Jane Durling, Charlie Sholl, Gwenda McIntyre, Emma Pemberton, and Stephano Francesco.

The combustion of wood pellets, inaptly referred to by industry giants as "sustainable biomass" is a false climate solution and threat to environmental justice communities throughout the US South. The world's largest wood pellet factory, owned by Enviva Biomass, in Waycross, GA has been emitting 3x the permissible limit of hazardous pollutants. We MUST abandon this greenwashing, environmentally, and climatically disastrous industry and instead opt for truly renewable energy.

🌱 To combat climate change and reduce #environmental impact, it's important to transform the way we produce #biomass for food, feed, chemicals and energy. #Sustainable practices are key to ensuring that production meets the best environmental, social and economic standards.    That is why we at #ISCC follow six principles. While Principle 1 addresses the European Commission's Renewable Energy Directive (#RED II), Principles 2-6 are the result of a collaborative effort in a multi-stakeholder dialogue and go beyond legal requirements!    🔍 The bottom line? ISCC #certification has a direct impact on the environmental, social and economic performance of farms and plantations. Let's work together to promote sustainable practices and build a future of responsible biomass production. 

"Overall, my assessment is that the government had the right words and the right intentions. If you look at the government's policies, you can't argue that anything was per se wrong. Renewable energy, drinking water, waste management... all were on the table. So you put the whole package together, it's all there. My assessment is that there wasn't enough focus on implementation," Narain said.#energy #makeinindia #sustainability
